ABSTRACT:
An information service terminal which allows the user to access various items such as the Web pages on the Internet without operating a keyboard and a mouse through complex sequences. The information service terminal has an address database for storing URLs (Uniform Resource Locators), which are used as addresses of the Web pages, in association with respective channels, a channel remote-controller for inputting a channel number, and a display unit. In the terminal, when one of the channel is selected, depending on the channel number, the address database is searched for a corresponding one of the URLs to access the corresponding Web page. The user can browse the desired Web page data by designating the corresponding channel number by the channel remote-controller.
