Abstract

A system that receives information from a user, posts at least part of information received on multiple Internet sites, and verifies the posted information. The system comprises a server with an e-mail agent for receiving information from the user, a document editor for checking the format of the information received, a document parser for checking the content of the information received, a queue manager for placing the information received in a queue, and a plurality of robots for placing and retrieving information from multiple web sites.

Claims

1. A system for receiving information from a user, posting at least part of information received on multiple computer network sites, and verifying the posted information, the system comprising:

an e-mail agent for receiving information from the user;

a document parser for checking the content of the information received;

a queue manager for placing the information received in a queue;

a data entry robot for posting at least part of the information received on a plurality of computer network sites; and

a data verification robot for verifying the posted information on said plurality of computer network sites.

2. The system of claim 1 further comprising a document editor for checking the format of the information received.

3. The system of claim 1 further comprising a manual interface for providing manual posting procedure.

4. The system of claim 1 further comprising a status board for showing status of information posting on computer network sites.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein said data entry robot is capable of requesting information from the plurality of computer network sites, logging onto the plurality of computer network sites, and inputting information onto the plurality of computer network sites.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein said data entry robot is further capable of receiving messages from the plurality of computer network sites, and analyzing the messages received.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein said data verification robot is capable of logging onto the plurality of computer network sites, and requesting information from the plurality of computer network sites.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein said data verification robot is further capable of receiving messages from the plurality of computer network sites, and analyzing the messages received.

9. A computer software program residing in a computer memory inside a server, the computer software program comprising:

program instructions for receiving information from a user;

program instructions for checking the format of the information received;

program instructions for posting at least part of the information received on a plurality of computer network sites; and

program instructions for verifying the posted information on said plurality of computer network sites.

10. The computer software program of claim 9 further comprising:

program instructions for checking the content of the information received; and

program instructions for moving the information received into a waiting queue.

11. The computer software program of claim 9 further comprising program instructions for providing a manual posting procedure.

12. The computer software program of claim 9 further comprising program instructions for showing statuses of the information received.

13. The computer software program of claim 9 further comprising program instructions for

requesting web pages from the plurality of computer network sites, and

sending login information to the plurality of computer network sites.

14. The computer software program of claim 13 wherein programs instructions for

posting further comprising program instructions for inputting at least part of the information received into a message, and

sending the message to the plurality of computer network sites.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising checking the format of the information received.

17. The method of claim 15 further comprising showing status of information posting on computer network sites.

18. The method of claim 15 wherein the posting step further comprises:

requesting information from the plurality of computer network sites,

logging onto the plurality of computer network sites, and

inputting information onto the plurality of computer network sites.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the posting step further comprises:

receiving messages from the plurality of computer network sites, and

analyzing the messages received.

20. The system of claim 15 wherein the verifying step further comprises:

logging onto the plurality of computer network sites, and

requesting information from the plurality of computer network sites.

21. The system of claim 15, wherein the verifying step further comprises:

receiving messages from the plurality of computer network sites, and analyzing the messages received.

15. A method for receiving information from a user, posting at least part of information received on multiple computer network sites, and verifying the posted information, the method comprising:

receiving information from the user;

checking the content of the information received;

placing the information received in a queue;

posting at least part of the information received on a plurality of computer network sites; and

verifying the post information on said plurality of computer network sites.
