DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG.
1 is a diagram of a data retrieval system according to the invention.
A client terminal 102 is connected to a modem 104 to access an Internet service provider (ISP) 106 providing access to Internet 108.
Client terminal 102 includes appropriate browser software and supporting operating system, utilities and plug-ins for accessing the World Wide Web (WWW) resources on Internet 108 and is compatible with common gateway interface (CGI) protocols and standards for responding to information requests made by a remote server such as server 110.
Server 110 is likewise interfaced to Internet 108 and includes a search engine capability 112 for accessing and searching resource and location databases 114 and 116.
Also connected to Internet 108 are servers 118A-18C providing other services and databases and/or representing websites associated with a resource having an Internet presence on the web e.
g.
, web pages established or maintained by retail establishments.
Personal digital assistance (PDA) 120 provides a mobile capability for accessing Internet 108 via mobile cellular system 126 and cellular base station network 128, the latter connecting to Internet 108 via, for example, an appropriate router (not shown).
PDA 120 may be incorporated into or mounted in a vehicle in which case, a display may be generated using heads-up display unit 122 to project a virtual image onto an appropriate glass near the windshield of the vehicle.
Heads-up display unit 122 allows the vehicle operator to view information including a moving map display without looking away from the road.
Remote controls 124 provide data and control inputs to PDA 120.
These remote controls may include, for example, steering wheel mounted switches, a voice response unit, eye-movement detector, and other forms of transducers, preferably usable with only minimal diversion of the attention of the vehicle operator and distraction away from driving related tasks.
For purposes of the following example, client terminal 102 may be assumed to be located in a particular geographic location, e
