Abstract

The present invention is an ADSI download system. The system 10 has one or more ADSI telephones 12, a telephone network 14, a network application server 16, a download request database file 9, and one or more remote sites 18 located on the WWW or on a proprietary network, such as America On Line or Prodigy. The computer network site location 18 contains an ADSI mergable file 19 that includes information such as local weather, stock quotes, news, announcements or advertisements. In response to a caller initiated or a server initiated download, the server 14 accesses the site 18 and transfers the file 19 to the server 16, where it is merged with an ADSI download template, then the resulting file is transferred to a storage location 22 in the telephone 12.
