Abstract
A communications device (11) is connected with a subscriber switching station (13) through a subscriber line (12). The subscriber switching station (13) has a subscriber switching system (14), a switch (15), and an LAN (16). The subscriber line (12) is selectively connected with the subscriber switching station (14) and the LAN (16) through the corresponding switch (15). A conventional dial operation is performed for conventional communications. On the other hand, “0AB0” is dialed to participate communications over the LAN (16) when accessing a resource for example the WWW server (17) on the LAN (16). Then, a transfer request is sent to the WWW server (17) using a conventional procedure, and the device receives a required HTML document and the associated files.
Claims12
A communications system comprising:
- a subscriber switching system provided at a subscriber switching station for exchanging telephone calls;
- a LAN associated with the subscriber switching system, the LAN not being directly connected to an Internet;
- branching means provided at the subscriber switching station, the branching means having a common terminal point, a first branching terminal point and a second branching terminal point, the common terminal point being connected with a subscriber line at a side of the subscriber switching system, the first branching terminal point being connected with the subscriber switching system, and the second branching terminal point being connected with the LAN, the common terminal point and the first branching terminal point being used in combination for establishing a first path for conventional telephone communications using the subscriber switching system, and the common terminal point and the second branching terminal point being used in combination for establishing a second path for data communications transferred over the LAN;
- and,
- at least one information providing server connected to and associated with the LAN, for providing a communication terminal with information through the LAN and the subscriber line.

A communications system comprising:
- a mobile switching system provided at a mobile switching station for exchanging mobile telephone calls;
- a LAN associated with the mobile switching system, the LAN not being directly connected to an Internet;
- branching means provided at the mobile switching station, the branching means having a common terminal point, a first branching terminal point and a second branching terminal point, the common terminal point being connected with a subscriber line from a base station at a side of the mobile switching system, the first branching terminal point being connected with the mobile switching system, and the second branching terminal point being connected with the LAN, the common terminal point and the first branching terminal point being used in combination for establishing a first path for mobile telephone communications using the mobile switching system, and the common terminal point and the second terminal branching terminal point being used in combination for establishing a second path for data communications transferred over the LAN;
- and,
- at least one information providing server connected to and associated with the LAN, for providing a mobile station with information through the LAN, the susbcriber line, and the base station.
2 more elements
A communications system comprising:
- a subscriber switching system provided at a subscriber switching station for exchanging telephone calls;
- at least one communication terminal separate from and connected to the subscriber switching station;
- a LAN associated with the subscriber switching system, the LAN not being directly connected to an Internet;
- branching means provided at the subscriber switching station, the branching means having a common terminal point, a first branching terminal point and a second branching terminal point, the common terminal point being connected with a subscriber line at a side of the subscriber switching system, the first branching terminal point being connected with the subscriber switching system, and the second branching terminal point being connected with the LAN, the common terminal point and the first branching terminal point being used in combination for establishing a first path for conventional telephone communications using the subscriber switching system, and the common terminal point and the second branching terminal point being used in combination for establishing a second path for data communications transferred over the LAN;
- and,
- at least one information providing server connected to and associated with the LAN, for providing the at least one communication terminal with information through the LAN and the subscriber line.
