On-line secured financial transaction system through electronic media
First Claim
1. A method of establishing on-line secure financial transactions for purchasing goods through electronic media, said method comprising:
- providing a local subsystem disposed at a local location accessible to a user and responsive to a user input;
providing a remote subsystem located at a remote location, said remote location having at least one identifiable product remotely selectable by the user;
establishing a first communication link between the local subsystem and the remote subsystem;
selecting at least one of said identifiable products through the first communication link;
retrieving through the first communication link a telephone toll number from a predetermined numbering system associated with the selected product;
using said retrieved telephone number to establish a telephone toll connection through a second communication link between the local subsystem and the remote subsystem; and
downloading the selected product through the second communication link from the remote subsystem to the local subsystem,whereby during said downloading of the product a fee is assessed and charged at a rate determined by the toll connection provider.

Abstract
A remote communication system for facilitating secure electronic purchases of goods in on-line, wherein a suitable local user input device in association with a data transmission system, couples the user input into a packet network system for communication to a remote receiver/decoder apparatus to TRY a potentially desired product. Upon selection of the desired product by the user, a telcom network link is used to communicate a telephone number associated with the desired product from the user to the remote receiver to allow the user to BUY the desired product. The telcom network used to link the user input device to the remote apparatus may also include a 900 number billing system for assessing and collecting fees for use of the system.

14. A remote communication system for securing electronic purchases of digital information on-line comprising:
-
a local subsystem disposed at a local location and accessible to a user, said local subsystem being responsive to a user input and operative to generate communicative data corresponding thereto; means establishing a first communication link for communicating said communicative data to a remote location; a remote subsystem located at said remote location for receiving said communicative data and in response thereto transmitting a telephone toll number, product information or product cost associated with a product selected by the user back through said first communication link to said local subsystem; means using the transmitted toll number to establish a second communication link between said local subsystem and said remote subsystem through which said selected product may be ordered; said remote subsystem including means for determining that the product ordered via said second communication link corresponds to said toll number; and means for transferring the ordered product from said remote subsystem to said local subsystem through said second communication link. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A remote communication system for securing electronic purchases of digital information on-line comprising:
-
a local subsystem disposed at a local location accessible to a user and responsive to a user input; a remote subsystem located at a remote location, said remote subsystem having at least one identifiable product remotely selectable by the user; means establishing a first communication link between the local subsystem and the remote subsystem through the Internet transmission media for selecting at least one of said identifiable products; means for transmitting a telephone toll number associated with the selected product from said remote subsystem to said local subsystem; means for retrieving said toll number through said first communication link; means establishing a second communication link between the local subsystem and the remote subsystem through a telephone toll connection using said retrieved toll number; means for downloading the selected product through said second communication link from the remote subsystem to the local subsystem, whereby a fee is assessed and charged for said downloading means based upon a rate determined by the toll connection provider. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
