Abstract
A method and apparatus for communicating information and e-shopping signals between servers within a closed circuit e-commerce, and between servers and shopping terminals via main router and interface of a building, propagating the information and e-shopping signals via at least one twisted pair including ASK and FSK modulated data and commands including high speed updating signals for updating the content and programs of said e-commerce stored in the shopping terminals. A delivery station for picking up and deliver the ordered merchandise located within the building or outside the building using delivery devices, and storage devices for verifying the pickup and deliver with no error.
Claims35
An apparatus for propagating information signals for linking a plurality of servers within a closed circuit e-commerce comprising at least one e-provider server and at least one building server linked via at least one network for exchanging e-shopping signals via at least one interface of a main router with at least one shopping terminal connected through at least one of internal communication lines of said building to said main router, said shopping terminal comprising a terminal memory for storing updated programs and content of said closed circuit e-commerce and a CPU for recalling and operating a shopping display screen for choosing, completing and propagating an order for at least one of services and merchandise stored in said terminal memory;
- said e-provider including at least one of delivery station and a shop in one of said building and distant operated via a station server including at least one of storage devices and smart delivery devices for displaying particulars of said order and the ordering dweller for eliminating delivery and gathering errors of at least one of merchandise and service items and for executing payment for said delivery, wherein said payment is transacted by one of a central entity and an e-payment provider and is subject to acknowledgement of said delivery by said dweller via one of said delivery devices and said shopping terminal of said dweller.
An apparatus for propagating information signals for linking at least one of a plurality of terminals with a main router of a server included in a closed circuit network, said information signal is bidirectionally propagated via one of a pair of differential signal and balanced impedance circuits terminating two ends of a single twisted pair line of internal communication lines connecting said terminals to said main router, each of said circuits comprising an high frequency carrier FSK and a lower frequency carrier ASK modulators and demodulators connected to an I/O ports of a CPU for propagating high speed and lower speed signals simultaneously via said twisted pair separated by the carrier frequencies;
- and
- said CPU controls the propagation timing of one of a data and a command signal by propagating the information content via one of said high speed and lower speed signal and at least one of said timing and command via the other speed signal including the acknowledging receipt of at least one of said content and said command via said one of high speed and lower speed signal.

- said CPU controls the propagation timing of one of a data and a command signal by propagating the information content via one of said high speed and lower speed signal and at least one of said timing and command via the other speed signal, said method comprising the steps of:
- a. generating and propagating said at least one timing and commands via one of said high speed and lower speed signal;
- b. propagating said content via said the other speed signal;
- and
- c. acknowledging receipt of at least one of said content and said command via said one of high speed and lower speed signal.
