description The present invention provides rental of digital video signals occurring within an online environment including one or more client computers (102). The method includes providing access to an online catalog stored within a memory of a netwoek (120) video server computer (130). The online catalog includes information regarding digital video signals available for rental from the network server computer (130). Requests are then received from client computers (102) for rental of digital video signals selected from the online catalog for a specified period of time. The present invention overcomes the problems in the existing art described above by providing an online digital video signal transfer apparatus and method. Rental of the digital video signals occurs within an online environment including one or more client computers and at least one network server connected by a communications link to the one or more client computers. The method includes providing access to an online catalog stored within a memory of a network video server computer. The online catalog includes information regarding digital video signals available for rental from the network server computer. Requests are then received from client computers for rental of digital video signals selected from the online catalog for a specified period of time. The requests include electronic payment based on the selected digital video signal and the specified period of time. Once electronic payment is provided, the digital video signal is transmitted to the client computer via communications link. Once transmitted, the digital video signal is viewable by a user of the client computer during the specified period of time. Advantages of the invention include the ability to rent motion pictures without having to provide additional monies for purchase of the motion pictures. In addition, the present invention provides an interface that simulates the actual rental of motion pictures within a video rental store. Moreover, during the specified period of rental, the user is allowed to view the motion picture as many times as desired, thereby simulating the actual rental of video cassettes or DVDs of feature length motion pictures. La présente invention permet de surmonter les problèmes de l'état de la technique, décrits précédemment. Cette invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de transfert de signal vidéo numérique en ligne. La location des signaux vidéo numérique est effectuée au sein d'un environnement en l

La présente invention permet de surmonter les problèmes de l'état de la technique, décrits précédemment. Cette invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de transfert de signal vidéo numérique en ligne. La location des signaux vidéo numérique est effectuée au sein d'un environnement en ligne, qui comprend un ou plusieurs ordinateurs client et au moins un serveur de réseau, connecté audit/auxdits ordinateurs(s) client par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison de communication. Ce procédé consiste à fournir l'accès à un catalogue en ligne, qui est enregistré dans une mémoire d'un ordinateur serveur vidéo de réseau. Ce catalogue en ligne comprend des informations concernant les signaux vidéo numériques qui sont disponibles à la location à partir de l'ordinateur serveur de réseau. Des ordinateurs client émettent ensuite des requêtes de location de signaux vidéo numériques, issus du catalogue en ligne, pour une période donnée. Ces requêtes comprennent un paiement électronique basé sur le signal vidéo numérique choisi et sur la période donnée. Une fois le paiement électronique effectué, le signal vidéo numérique est transmis à l'ordinateur client, par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison de communication. Une fois transmis, le signal vidéo numérique peut être visualisé par un utilisateur de l'ordinateur client, pendant la période donnée. Cette invention permet de pouvoir avantageusement louer des films, sans avoir à dépenser plus d'argent pour l'achat des films. De plus, cette invention concerne une interface qui simule la location réelle des films dans un magasin de location vidéo. En outre, durant la période donnée, l'utilisateur peut visualiser le film autant de fois qu'il le souhaite, ce qui permet ainsi de simuler la location réelle de cassettes vidéo ou de DVD de longs métrages.</description><edition>7</edition><language>eng ; fre</language><subject>CALCULATING ; COMPUTING ; COUNTING ; DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS OR METHODS, SPECIALLY ADAPTED FORADMINISTRATIVE, COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL, SUPERVISORYOR FORECASTING PURPOSES ; ELECTRIC COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUE ; ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING ; ELECTRICITY ; PHYSICS ; PICTORIAL COMMUNICATION, e.g. TELEVISION ; SYSTEMS OR METHODS SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE,COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, MANAGERIAL, SUPERVISORY OR FORECASTINGPURPOSES, NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR ; TRANSMISSION OF DIGITAL INFORMATION, e.g. TELEGRAPHICCOMMUNICATION</subject><creationdate>2001</creationdate><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?FT=D&amp;date=20011018&amp;DB=EPODOC&amp;CC=WO&amp;NR=0178367A2$$EHTML$$P50$$Gepo$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,308,780,885,25564,76547</link.rule.ids><linktorsrc>$$Uhttps://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?FT=D&amp;date=20011018&amp;DB=EPODOC&amp;CC=WO&amp;NR=0178367A2$$EView_record_in_European_Patent_Office$$FView_record_in_$$GEuropean_Patent_Office$$Hfree_for_read</linktorsrc></links><search><creatorcontrib>EVANS, CHARLES, JONATHAN</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>MIRANDA, EVA</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>LANDAU, YAIR</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>FOREST, BRUCE</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>LAKAMP, BRIAN, DAVID</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>RUBENSTEIN, IRA, STEVEN</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>KOENIG, STEVEN</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>PALMER, SETH, DAVID</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>OCHS, HARTMUT</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>CAREY, SEAN, BRENNAN</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>FRANK, ANDREW, C</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>HENDERSON, TODD, MICHAEL</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>WIERSHOLM, KARL</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>CHONG, WILLIAM, W</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>SCHNABEL, EVERTON, ANTHONY</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>BARNETT, JEREMY, ELI</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>SHERR, SCOTT, JEFFREY</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>SPAULDING, BRYAN, GENTRY</creatorcontrib><title>ONLINE DIGITAL VIDEO SIGNAL TRANSFER APPARATUS AND METHOD</title><description>The present invention provides rental of digital video signals occurring within an online environment including one or more client computers (102).
