Abstract: An information appliance includes a network connection, a telecommunications processor connected to the network connection and a video processor connected to the network connection. When information appliance sends a media request through the network connection to a server such that media is sent to the information appliance in response to said media request. On-demand audio-visual programming is provided on a two-way communication device by receiving a request for audio-visual programming from the two-way communication device at a server, connecting the two-way communication device to a content provider and providing audio-visual programming to the two-way communication device. A method of providing advertisements on an A/V telecommunication device includes collecting demographic data with the A/V telecommunication device. The demographic data is provided to a host server. The hose server accumulates and provides the demographic data to a content provider.

Abstract: A method of commerce using an A/V telecommunication device is performed by requesting a transaction using the A/V telecommunication device. The transaction request is received by a host server and communicated to a provider. The provider then delivers according to the transaction to a user of the A/V telecommunication device.

Abstract: A method of locating a source location in an A/V telecommunication system having a server and a telecommunication device including a network connection, a telecommunications processor connected to the network connection, and a video processor connected to the network connection may be performed by initiating an emergency call at an A/V telecommunication device. A server recognizes the emergency call and correlates the A/V telecommunication device with a physical address. The physical address may be sent to an emergency recipient.
