Abstract

"CELNET" , sera avant tout un terminal portatif qui sera constitué d'un écran, d'un micro miniature, d'une caméra miniature inclus dans le boîtier, d'un clavier numérique et d'un modem PCMCIA qui sera capable de transférer du data, du son et du fax, à une vitesse supérieure à 256 kbytes/sec avec un signal numérique ou micro ondes en utilisant une onde sattelitte, pour contacter un autre terminal. (voir document anglais pour le dessin) Avec le CELNET, le demandeur pourra voir son interlocuteur et lui parler et transférer des fax, avec une vitesse supérieur à 256 kbytes/sec par onde numérique et/ou micro ondes en utilisant le signal satellite. Et CELNET pourra contacter le serveur de CYBERGEN et ainsi accéder au site internet NETROPOLIS; ville virtuel où le commerce et le multimédia sera présent et en option le CELNET pourra utiliser les lunettes virtuels que CYBERGEN offrira. (voir deuxième page du document anglais). "NETROPOLIS" offrira une gamme complète de services qui répondra à tout les besoins de tous, et tout cela accessible avec la carte magnétique CYBERGEN."CELNET" will be above all a portable terminal which will consist of a screen, a miniature microphone, a miniature camera included in the box, a numeric keyboard and a PCMCIA modem which will be able to transfer data, sound and fax, at a speed higher than 256 kbytes / sec with a digital signal or microwave using a sattelitte wave, to contact another terminal. (see English document for the drawing) With CELNET, the applicant will be able to see his interlocutor and speak to him and transfer faxes, with a speed higher than 256 kbytes / sec by digital wave and / or microwave using the satellite signal. And CELNET can contact the CYBERGEN server and thus access the NETROPOLIS website; virtual city where commerce and multimedia will be present and as an option CELNET will be able to use the virtual glasses that CYBERGEN will offer. (see second page of the English document). "NETROPOLIS" will offer a full range of services that will meet everyone's needs, and all this accessible with the CYBERGEN magnetic card.

You will be able to shop directly through the Internet and your PC. With a simple card, provided by CyberGen, you can have access to aU of the stores, buy or sell everything it needs to be done, and still have the security that nobody can possible have it cracked, broken down or hacked.
