Patent ID: 7711567

Claim:
A telecommunication system comprising a terminal, a switch and an I-net comprising a memory for storing I-net information blocks at locations defined by I-net addresses, at least parts of said I-net addresses being generated in response to control signals originating from said terminal, and at least parts of said I-net information blocks being sent from said memory to said terminal in the form of response signals, each of said control signals and said response signals comprising both speech recognition and non-speech recognition related parts, wherein said switch comprises a detector for detecting said speech-recognition and non-speech recognition related parts in said control signals and said response signals, and a processor for, in response to a detection of said speech-recognition or non-speech recognition related parts, processing said control signals and said response signals, said I-net comprising at least one of an intranet or Internet, wherein said switch enables a simultaneous interaction with a website using both said control signal having said speech recognition related part and said control signal having said non-speech recognition related part, said I-net information blocks are web pages being sent from said memory to said terminal in the form of said response signals, and said I-net address is an Internet Protocol address of a corresponding web page, said processor, in response to a detection of a speech-recognition related part in said control signals, routes said speech-recognition related part to a server for converting said speech-recognition related part into an address signal destined for said memory, and in response to a detection of a non-speech-recognition related part in a control signal, converts said non-speech-recognition related part into an address signal destined for said memory, said address signal converted from said speech-recognition related part is a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for an Internet server and said address signal converted from said non-speech-recognition related part is a URL for an Internet server, and the switch enables an independent use of a speech communication channel and a non-speech communication channel to navigate from a first web page to a second web page by traversing a link.
