The inventive system and method provide an integrated information and
communication network to any number of associated communication
terminals. The invention includes at least one home system or server
containing a plurality of applications for performing communication and
information services. The home system allows the associated communication
terminals to connect and access the applications to receive any of the
variety of information and communication services directly from the home
system. Communication information in the form of communication signals,
data, or any combination of the two may be sent between the communication
terminals and the home system. Such information may be provided by the
user, by the home system, or may be obtained or processed by any of the
available applications. The inventive integration of such services allows
communication terminals to receive calling services and information
simultaneously in addition to being able to access such information
services, such as the Internet, directly.
