Abstract
A method and system for selectively communicating information are disclosed herein. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving at a server first information portions regarding one or more preferences, instructions, user profile details, or operational history details. The method also includes receiving an initial version of a message including additional information from a mobile device associated with a user, and determining based upon the first information portions that the additional information should be modified. The method further includes generating a first modified version of the message by modifying the additional information, and sending, for receipt by a further mobile device associated with a further user, the first modified version. Accordingly, in at least some embodiments, the first modified version of the message can include additional relevant content suited for each given recipient, based on (for example) preference, profile, or history information.

15. A method of selectively communicating information by way of a network, the method comprising:
-
storing at a server associated with the network first information portions regarding one or more preferences, instructions, user profile details, or operational history details associated with a plurality of users; receiving an initial version of a first message off of the network from a first electronic device associated with a first additional user, wherein the first message includes additional information; determining based upon one or more of the first information portions that at least one change should be made to the additional information; generating a first modified version of the first message by making the at least one change to the additional information based upon the determining; and sending onto the network, for receipt by a second electronic device associated with a second additional user, the first modified version of the first message, wherein the first modified version of the first message differs from the first message both because the first modified version of the first message includes first supplemental content not included in the first message, and because an image included in the first message is provided in an obscured manner in the first modified version of the first message. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
