Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour créer un répertoire de contenu destiné à un dispositif, pour transmettre des métriques d'utilisation de contenu du dispositif et pour mettre en oeuvre une géolocalisation de contenu du dispositif. Un dispositif mémorise un enregistrement de contenu local sur le dispositif qui comprend une pluralité de liens vers un contenu fourni par un fournisseur de contenu. Le dispositif reçoit un enregistrement de contenu hôte provenant d'un dispositif hôte. L'enregistrement de contenu local est rafraîchi à l’aide de l'enregistrement de contenu hôte. Le dispositif fournit un répertoire correspondant à l'enregistrement de contenu local. Le dispositif déclenche une mémorisation d'une ou plusieurs métriques d'utilisation de contenu lors d'une demande de contenu de la part d'un utilisateur. Le dispositif est localisé par la connexion réseau. Un accès au contenu peut être contrôlé par l’emplacement du dispositif. Le dispositif transmet les métriques d'utilisation de contenu au dispositif hôte ou à un autre dispositif.
