Abstract

A portable communication terminal for use in a communication system including the terminal and a terminal server, and an implementation of such a communication system. The communication terminal has a telephone communication means operable to accesses a server and/or a data base connected to a portable telephone system network so as to receive multimedia information from the server and/or data base, and a human-machine interface means operable to receive multimedia information supplied from the telephone communication means. The communication terminal server has an external communication processing means operable to accesses an external server connected to an external information communication network so as to receive multimedia information from the external server, a data processing means for processing or converting multimedia information received from the external communication processing means, and a transfer means for transferring multimedia information from the external communication processing means and/or the data processing means to the portable communication terminal via said portable telephone system network. Communication between the external communication processing means and the external server is carried out using a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) as an administrative protocol and using a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) as an application protocol.
