Internet connection for plurality of users

摘要

A system for providing a plurality of users access to an information source (4), such as the Internet, including a plurality of computing processors (6) linked to the information source (4) through a server (18) whereby information from the information source is graphically displayed on television receivers (8), each user having access to a television receiver (8) and being assigned one of the computing processors (6) on a shared basis. The server (18) receives and transmits digital data between the information source (4) and the computing processors (6). The users can manipulate and interact with the information through a wireless keyboard (26). Conversion of digital data into analogue data associated with keyboard commands takes place through a modem (30) and interface processing unit (32) associated with each receiver (8). It is used particularly by hotel guests and hospital patients.
