Abstract

Abstract System for distributing files, comprising a transmission network to which there are connected both hosts and terminals. To the transmission network (1) there is connected a broadcast server (4) which is further connected to a broadcast system (5). The terminals (3) are connected to receiving means (6). Files originating from hosts are presented, by way of the transmission network, to the broadcast server, which broadcasts said files, by way of the broadcast system, to the receiving means. The latter present the files to the terminals under control of a selection member (8) in which characteristics of the files received are compared with characteristics contained in the selection member. The transmission system is formed, e.g., by the so-called Internet or system corresponding thereto. The file characteristics may be formed by the so-called URLs. <IMAGE>
