Embodiment Construction

[0028] refer to figure 1 , the medical communication system includes a medical server 10 having a storage device, and includes an audio / video recording and playback device 12 . The medical server 10 is operatively connected to the Internet 14 to send and receive data in an addressable manner. For example, at the Internet Protocol / Transmission Control Protocol (IP / TCP) level, using the figure 1 The medical server is addressed by its Internet Protocol (IP) address represented graphically as "IP#S" in . At the Hypertext Transfer Protocol level (http, i.e., the World Wide Web level), the server can be suitably identified by means of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) such as "http: / / www.medserver.com / ", using the Domain Name System or domain name service or Domain Name Server (DNS) lookup to translate Uniform Resource Locators into IP addresses. In some embodiments, IP addresses change dynamically, and URLs and appropriately updated DNS provide translation to IP addresses. Altho...
