Abstract
The invention is based on a method for finding an Internet or E-mail address. Internet or E-mail addresses are noted in the content of many teletext pages regardless of whether they contain advertising or information. The addresses are currently transmitted within the visible area of a teletext page so that the user must normally copy them and enter them into an Internet browser. The invention is based on the object of creating a simplified method for finding an Internet or E-mail address. The method according to the invention for finding an Internet or E-mail address which is reproduced in a teletext system, comprising visible areas and non-visible areas of the teletext system, a selection unit, a control unit and a link unit, is distinguished by the fact that the address in the visible area is selected by the selection unit, the control unit recognizes the selected address, the control unit accepts and/or modifies the address format and the address is selected via the link unit.
