DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is an ADSI download method and system.
The system comprises at least one ADSI telephone with a display terminal, a telephony server, and one or more hosts on a computer network.
The hosts contain one or more data files in mergable format such as plain text.
As such, each data file is compatible with the 40 character line display of the ADSI terminal.
The telephony server will merge the data file into an ADSI download template.
The template consists of an ADSI download library with predefined blank pages of text which the server will fill in with the text from the data file prior to download to the ADSI telephone.
The ADSI telephone has one or more memory locations for storing downloaded ADSI files.
The files are received in accordance with a server initiated download or a caller initiated download.
The ADSI telephone is connected to a customary telephone network.
A telephone network server is selectively connected to one or more remote sites on one or more computer networks, including and not limited to the World Wide Web (WWW) of the Internet.
The network application server accesses the remote site comprising at least one data file which the telephony server can process into a download for the ADSI device.
The file(s) at the accessed site are downloaded to the server, merged into an ADSI download, and then downloaded to the ADSI caller's telephone by means of the telephone network.
The caller on the ADSI telephone selects the information downloaded from the remote site by subscribing to certain types of information such as weather, stock quotes, news, etc.
