摘要

The invention relates to the provision of a device which allows access to a particular site on, for example, the internet. The identity of the particular site to be accessed is determined with reference to an information carrier such as a card which is issued by an organization. The card carries information which includes the site address or other site identification means and the information is obtained by the device which then initiates and controls the access to the particular site. This ensures that an organization's customer can make quick and easy access to the organizations web site.
