Abstract
A communications system (1) consists of telephone apparatus including telephones and facsimile machines connected to local exchanges of a public service telephone network (8). Each apparatus (2) is connected to the local exchange by a signal line (4) but also receives broadcast information from a message control centre (13) via radio waves or internet broadcast over a cable network. Each apparatus 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 identification information which is compared with the identification data of each broadcast message so that only messages having a corresponding identification are stored for subsequent display 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.
