There are disclosed systems, methods and processes for the distribution of
information, typically digital information that is distributed actively,
through broadcast media such as television and radio, displays, such as
signage, etc., or passively, through displays such as signage or the
like. The information can be captured from broadcasted transmissions,
scanned from a display, or obtained by being transmitted to the user, who
responded to a broadcast with a transmission to a receiving point during
a period synchronized with the broadcast, requesting the information sent
to his transmitted address. The captured or obtained information may
include coupons or the like, that may be redeemed after being
successfully captured or obtained. Redemption may be either on-line,
where a transmission of coupon information is transmitted to a call
center, that places a product order with a supplier and handles payment
details, or off-line, where the user takes to coupon to the retailer, for
redemption at the point of sale.
