Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for transmitting device-specific data over a data transmission system to a plurality of devices connected to the data transmission system. In one step of the method, a broadcast announcement identified with a broadcast identifier is sent to the devices over the data transmission system. An individual device indicator and the broadcast identifier are assigned to each one of the devices. The individual devices are put in a state of readiness to receive the device-specific data after the broadcast announcement has been received. Data reception readiness confirmations are transmitted by the individual devices after the respective device has reached the state of readiness to receive the device-specific data. According to the invention, there is a joint transmission of the device-specific data over the data transmission system to the devices after the devices have transmitted the data reception readiness confirmations.
