ABSTRACT:
A system for interactive control of applications by users to whom information can be communicated by televisions in a multiservice installation includes a television program distribution server, user modules, a PABX, and an operating system. The television program distribution server (4) has means (12,13) for transmitting television programs. The user modules (6) each include a telephone (2) with a control device connected to the PABX and a television (5) served by the server. The PABX (1) has a control and management system for controlling the individual connection of the television to the server in connection with first coded signals sent by the user through the control device of the telephone included in the same user module. The operating system includes an interactive television program from a computer and a device for producing control information usable by man or by machine from information transmitted by the PABX control and management system on reception of second coded signals sent through the control device included in the telephone in relation to specific interactive program information transmitted from the operating system and then sent to and displayed on the television of the same user module.
