Abstract: A system for shopping for goods and services includes computerized central communications facilities (central facilities) and computerized remote communications facilities (remote facilities) connected by a communications network(s), and means permitting data communications between them. Central facilities offer goods and services, some in competition with each other, and store in addition to data, video such as graphics and images, and audio such as voice and music. An input device(s) for each remote facility permits customers to access the data, video, and audio. Communications devices for each remote facility also enable that facility to receive and download the data, video, and audio. Remote facilities are adapted to enable a customer, after viewing the data, video, and audio, to select their purchase and remit payment. Central facilities can generate and transmit to the remote facility transaction specific documentation relative to the purchase so executed.

Abstract: A system for shopping for goods and services includes central communications facilities and remote communications facilities connected by communications links and means permitting data communications between them. Central communications facilities offer goods and services in competition with each other. Central communications facility may store, in addition to data, graphics in the form of video, and audio in the form of computerized voice and music. Computer input devices at each remote communications facility permit customers to access the data, graphics and audio. Computers at each remote communications facility also enable that facility to receive and download the data, graphics, and audio. Remote communications facilities may be adapted to enable a customer, after viewing the data, graphics, and audio, to determine a price for the purchase of the goods and services.

Abstract: A system and means for transacting business utilizing remote and central locations. Each of the locations has an array of electronic communications equipment for communicating information about goods and services comprising audio, video, and data between the central location and a customer at the remote location.
