Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de visite à distance, comprenant un appareil photo destiné à saisir une scène susceptible d'être vue d'un certain endroit, un moyen d'obtention d'image destiné à fournir des informations sur l'image saisie par l'appareil photo sur une base de temps réel ou sensiblement réel, à des utilisateurs se trouvant à distance, par le biais d'un réseau de télécommunications, et un moyen d'affichage installé de telle sorte qu'une personne visitant le lieu puisse le voir à l'oeil nu et être prise en photo par l'appareil photo, permettant de présenter un affichage préétabli, transféré par des utilisateurs à distance. Ce système comprend en outre un moyen de transmission de messages, destiné à transmettre des messages à distance par le biais d'un réseau de télécommunications, et un moyen d'affichage de messages installé de sorte qu'une personne visitant le lieu puisse le voir à l'oeil nu et être prise en photo par l'appareil photo, permettant d'afficher les messages provenant des utilisateurs se trouvant à distance, transmis par le moyen de transmission de messages. Ce système rend possible l'échange de messages tels des avis concernant les articles entre le magasin et les clients à distance. De plus, les utilisateurs à distance peuvent laisser des messages sous forme de noms sur le panneau d'affichage, ou laisser l'affichage des messages sur le site (établissement religieux) sans devoir remplir le message sous forme d''espace virtuel'.
