Method for managing the number of visualizations of an audiovisual content, this method comprising: - the provision of a digital audiovisual content recorded on a data-recording support, this content being divided into several consecutive time segments which are to be read automatically in a prescribed order, - the provision of a number of authorized visualizations of this audiovisual content, - the reading of the recorded audiovisual content by means of an electronic reader, the electronic reader permitting, in particular, backward skips in order to read a preceding segment before the end of the audiovisual content has been reached, - the calculation (120, 122) of the number of visualizations of the audiovisual content already carried out, and - the prohibition of any new visualization of the audiovisual content if the number of visualizations already carried out is greater than or equal to the number of authorized visualizations and, if it is not, the authorization of a new visualization of the audiovisual content, characterized in that the method comprises: - the provision of a table containing as many cells as time segments, each cell being associated in a biunique manner with a respective segment of the audiovisual content, and each cell being suitable for containing a number, - when a segment of the audiovisual content is read by the electronic reader, the incrementation or the decrementation by a predetermined step of the number contained in the cell associated with this segment, the predetermined step being given by an algorithm for calculating the number of visualizations carried out or provided by a parameter of a received message, and - the calculation (120; 152; 162; 172) of the number of visualizations already carried out performed by said calculation algorithm on the basis of the numbers recorded in each of the cells of the table, comprising: - the determination (152; 162) of the number of cells of the table containing a number which has been incremented or decremented since the last visualization of the audiovisual content, and - the calculation of the number of visualizations already carried out in accordance with the result of this determination. - the provision of a digital audiovisual content recorded on a data-recording support, this content being divided into several consecutive time segments which are to be read automatically in a prescribed order, - the provision of a number of authorized visualizations of this audiovisual content, - the reading of the recorded audiovisual content by means of an electronic reader, the electronic reader permitting, in particular, backward skips in order to read a preceding segment before the end of the audiovisual content has been reached, - the calculation (120, 122) of the number of visualizations of the audiovisual content already carried out, and - the prohibition of any new visualization of the audiovisual content if the number of visualizations already carried out is greater than or equal to the number of authorized visualizations and, if it is not, the authorization of a new visualization of the audiovisual content, characterized in that the method comprises: - the provision of a table containing as many cells as time segments, each cell being associated in a biunique manner with a respective segment of the audiovisual content, and each cell being suitable for containing a number, - the provision of a table containing as many cells as time segments, each cell being associated in a biunique manner with a respective segment of the audiovisual content, and each cell being suitable for containing a number, - when a segment of the audiovisual content is read by the electronic reader, the incrementation or the decrementation by a predetermined step of the number contained in the cell associated with this segment, the predetermined step being given by an algorithm for calculating the number of visualizations carried out or provided by a parameter of a received message, and - the calculation (120;
