  • Patent number: 9344506
    Abstract: When managing of a set of parameters for the delivery of spontaneous contents to a user of a terminal, at least one content is delivered to the user, a determination is made as to whether the user generates on his/her terminal a reaction that is favorable or otherwise to the content delivered. Within the set of parameters for delivery of the spontaneous contents, at least one parameter representing the said reaction on the part of the user, and at least one contextual parameter associated to the said content delivered are stored to memory so as to adapt the said set of parameters, and a schedule is established via the terminal to deliver at least one spontaneous content selected based on the said adapted set of parameters so as to determine an appropriate moment to deliver the said selected content.
