Device and method for obtaining automated program information hearings transmitted by a communication network

Means (DA) is dedicated to the analysis of access data in programs (or content) transmitted by the communication networks (R) to communication terminals (T1-T3) attached to them. The device (DA) comprises a memory (B) and processing means (MT) i) when receiving a first message transmitted by a terminal (T1) from access to a program and comprising at least first data representative of the program, to store the first data in the memory (B) corresponding to second data representative of access time to the program and third data representative of the accessing terminal (T1), ii) when receiving a second message transmitted by a terminal (T1) from terminate the access to a program and comprising at least the first data representative of the program, to store the first data in the memory (B) in correspondence of fourth data representative of the access end time in the program and third data representative of the terminal (T1) having terminated the connection, and iii) to access at least some data s tockees in the memory (B) to determine at least information representative of the audiences of at least some of the programs.
