Abstract

A computer-aided telecommunication system and method which employs an on-line website to allow those skilled and unskilled in computer operation to communicate with others and conduct diverse financial transactions at any time and from any computer. Subscribers and others can conduct real-time visual communication with remotely located parties, exchange still and moving images, and distribute written information at a cost that is low when compared to alternative forms of communication. The system comprises a minimum of two control stations, one privacy booth and one e-mail station adjacent to each control station, and many remote e-mail/ATM stations placed in secure monitored locations. Each subscriber is assigned a unique access code and e-mail address, and undergoes identity confirmation procedures prior to system use. For ease of e-mail communication, subscribers would only need the name of an intended recipient subscriber or subscriber group identification and not individual e-mail addresses.
