Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0211323A2] The invention relates to a method for addressing terminals for receiving television programs that are subject to charges, whereby the terminals are divided into groups each having a group address, and an identifier within the group is assigned to each of the terminals of each group. According to the invention, said identifier is a binary vector. The group address and a data item are sent in order to address terminals of a group. The data item is formed by logically linking the binary vectors with another binary vector that describes which of the terminals of the group should be addressed. The linking is preferably carried out by forming a binary matrix consisting of the binary vectors and by multiplying the binary matrix with the other vector.
