1. Process for access to multimedia contents (CM) available on a data network (12), characterized in that data recorded on a value unit (UV) are exchanged on line when connected to a network, in return for an access to a given multimedia content UV), and in which a value unit (UV) comprises:
a private secret code (21) concealed by a device that can be revealed, that provides proof that fees have been paid,
at least one list of product codes (22) that can be seen by every one, each product code being used to identify a multimedia content,
a limiting validity date (23).
2. Process according to claim 1, in which:
the multimedia contents are not delivered until a certifying organization (18) operating on the data network has checked the validity of the value unit,
when the multimedia contents have been delivered, this certifying organization (18) invalidates the value unit.
3. Process according to claim 1, in which a value unit (UV) is used to access a determined list of multimedia contents (CM).
4. Process according to claim 1, in which the codes and the limiting validity date are printed on the support.
5. Process according to claim 4, in which the secret code is concealed by a scratch-off ink or a label to be removed.
6. Process according to claim 1, in which the secret code is an alphanumeric code.
7. Process according to claim 1, in which the product codes are alphanumeric codes.
8. Process according to claim 1, in which the product codes are barcodes.
9. Process according to claim 1, comprising the following steps:
lists of elements are created in a database, each item being composed of a combination consisting of a secret codethe limiting validity date of the secret codelist of product codes,
when a product request is made, if the product code is valid and if its secret code is also valid, it is checked in the base that the secret code is actually associated with the product code,
and it is checked that the limiting validity date has not expired and product release is ordered,
when the product has been delivered, the element considered is deleted from the database.
10. Process according to claim 1, comprising the following steps:
a list of elements is created in a database, each composed of a combination of the secret codethe number of purchase units still availablelimiting validity date of the secret codelist of product codes, a number of purchase units necessary being associated with each product code.
when a product is requested, if the product code is valid and if the secret code is also valid, a check is made in the base to ensure that the secret code is actually associated with the product code. It is checked that the validity date has not expired, that the number of purchase units still available is greater than the number of purchase units necessary for the requested product, and the order to deliver the product is given.
when the product has been delivered, the number of purchase units still available is reduced by the number of purchase units necessary for the requested product, in the value unit of the database. When the number of available units becomes zero, the value unit is deleted from the base.
11. Process according to claim 1, in which the secret code of the value unit is simply invalidated for possible use later, and is not destroyed after the credits for the value unit have been depleted.
12. Process according to claim 10, in which a promotion dynamic is created with special product codes for which the number of purchase units is zero or negative.
13. Process according to claim 1, comprising the following steps:
When the first request for multimedia contents is made, the database marks the choice of this product code in the value unit.
When the credits are depleted, the value unit is locked and is not deleted from the base, so that the user can only access products for which the product codes are marked.
14. Physical support for value units enabling individual (10) to access multimedia contents (CM) available on a data network (12), characterized in that it comprises:
a private secret code (21) concealed by a device that can be revealed, that proves that fees have been paid,
at least one list of public product codes (22) visible to every one, each product code identifying a multimedia product,
a limiting validity date (23).
15. Support according to claim 14, on which codes and the validity date are printed.
16. Support according to claim 15, in which the secret code (21) is concealed by scratch-off ink or a label to be removed.
17. Support according to claim 14, in which the secret code is an alphanumeric code.
18. Support according to claim 14, in which the product codes are alphanumeric codes.
19. Support according to claim 14, in which the product codes are bar codes.
20. Support according to claim 14, in which a batch number is integrated into the codes header.
21. Support according to claim 14, forming an electronic chip in which codes and the limiting validity date are included.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
