Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2338145A] A communications system (1) consists of a number of terminals including telephones and facsimile machines connected to local exchanges of a public service telephone network (8). Each terminal (2) is connected to the local exchange by a signal line (4) but also receives broadcast information via an antenna (12) from a message control centre (13) via radio waves from a radio tower (14). Each terminal is provided with a display screen (25) for displaying text and graphic information so that information of interest to the user, such as advertising material, may be broadcast. User specific requirements may be configured into the terminal in the form of a terminal address which is compared with the address of each broadcast message so that only messages having a corresponding address are processed and stored for presentation to the user. The system has use in distributing information to users of telephones and facsimile machines visually to communicate advertising messages and business information.
