System and method for controlling transmission of data packets over an information network
First Claim
1. A system for controlling transmission of data packets through an information network, comprising:
- a Regional Transaction Processor (RTP); and
a data Enabling Device (DED) operable to;
receive one or more data packets from the information network, detect when the one or more data packets include content match information, and issue a message to a workstation and invoke the RTP to process a transaction when the content match information is detected in the one or more data packets.

Abstract
An apparatus for controlling transmission of data packets in an information network comprises a Regional Transaction Processor (RTP) operable to communicate with a Data Enabling Device (DED) and at least one workstation. The DED searches data packets for content match information. The RTP includes instructions to generate information to include in a prompt to be presented at the workstation when the content match information is detected in at least one of the data packets. The prompt is based on information in the data packet. Transmission of the data packets through the information network is suspended by the DED until a response to the prompt is received that authorizes downloading the data packets to the workstation. If transmission of the data packets to the workstation is not authorized, the data packets are discarded by the DED.

18. A method for controlling transmission of identifiable content over an information network, comprising:
-
providing content match information for the content to a DED, wherein the DED is located in the information network along a transmission path of a plurality of data packets, wherein at least one data packet includes the content match information;
receiving the at least one data packet in the DED;
detecting the content match information in the at least one data packet in the DED; and
issuing a prompt to a workstation based on the content match information when the content match information is detected in the at least one data packet. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. An apparatus for controlling transmission of identifiable content over an information network, comprising:
-
means for providing content match information for the content to a DED, wherein the DED is located in the information network along a transmission path of a plurality of data packets, wherein at least one data packet includes the content match information;
means for receiving the at least one data packet in the DED;
means for detecting the content match information in the at least one data packet in the DED, and means for issuing a prompt to a workstation based on the content match information when the content match information is detected in the at least one data packet. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
