Abstract

A communication system, apparatus and method thereof are provided. The system includes a connection processing server, an advertisement server, and a communication apparatus. The communication apparatus, which is connected to the connection processing server and the advertisement server, transmits an advertisement request to the advertisement server and receives an advertisement information from the advertisement server, wherein the advertisement information includes an advertisement list and a plurality of advertisement contents corresponding to the advertisement list. When the communication apparatus displays the advertisement list and an operating signal is received by the communication apparatus, the communication apparatus displays one of the advertisement contents corresponding to the operating signal, and transmits a view-ad request to the advertisement server. When the advertisement server receives the view-ad request, the advertisement server transmit an account credit request to the connection processing server to update a account balance corresponding to the communication apparatus.
