  • Patent number: 6542589
    Abstract: A method of telephone access to internet secretarial services. A client makes a telephonic information request to the internet secretary, who is in contact with the internet via high-speed internet connection. The internet secretary sends an internet search query, and forwards the resultant search results to the client. In one embodiment of the instant invention, the client uses toll telephone lines (such as a “900”) number. A telephone company receives call rate and time information, and forwards secretarial services charges to the internet secretary. The client pays the telephone company for secretarial services charges and telephone service costs. In an alternate embodiment of the instant method the client calls the internet secretary via toll-free lines, and supplies the internet secretary credit card information and/or debit card information to pay the secretarial services charges. The internet secretary pays the telephone communications costs.
