| Zusammenfassung: | A subscriber of a public switched telecommunications network may gain direct access his/her voice station set (
12
) to the Internet (
14
) by first accessing a special platform (
16
) in the telephone network. The special platform (
16
) serves to validate the subscriber, and upon validation, converts a entered address label, entered by the subscriber via DTMF or voice, into a corresponding TCP/IP address for a site on the Internet. After launching the address to gain access to the site, the special platform converts orders entered by the subscriber via DTMF or voice into TCP/IP text commands, and converts TCP/IP commands received from the site into voice for transmission to the subscriber. |
