Telephone web browser arrangement and method
First Claim
1. A method of browsing the internet using a telephone circuit having keys for generating DTMF codes, comprising:
- providing an interface having a memory and a processor;
coupling a display unit to the interface;
communicatively coupling the telephone circuit to the interface;
receiving at the interface a first DTMF code requesting access to the internet;
in response to the first DTMF code, loading a Web browser in the memory of the interface;
receiving at the interface a second DTMF code from the telephone circuit;
converting the second DTMF code into a Web browser command using an interpretation protocol; and
executing the Web browser command using the interface, thereby accessing the internet via manual operation of the keys of the telephone circuit.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method and interface for browsing the internet using a telephone circuit having keys for generating DTMF codes. The interface includes a memory and a processor and is coupled to the telephone circuit and display. The interface receives a first DTMF code requesting access to the internet and, in response to the first DTMF code, loads a Web browser in its memory. The interface then receives a second DTMF code from the telephone circuit and converts the second DTMF code into a Web browser command using an interpretation protocol. The Web browser command is then executed using the interface, thereby enabling a user to access the internet via manual operation of the keys of the telephone circuit.
