A system for automatically using internet information which is contained
within a commercial on an entertainment medium e.g. television. The
system determines information indicative of the web address. This can be
done automatically by optical character recognition or by storing
information indicative of the web address in an interval of the
television signal. Once obtained, the information is sent, either to a
user's computer, or to a central office which sends an e-mail to the
user. In this way, the information can be used to automatically jump to a
web site of the advertiser.
