Abstract

A message broadcast system and method are provided. In one aspect of the present invention a central controller is provided for receiving message data containing personal identification data (e.g., email address, postal address, phone number, etc.) and for automatically controlling preselected marketing warehouse database systems to remove data matching the personal identification data from the database systems. In another aspect of the present invention, the central controller receives message data containing information request data and automatically broadcasts the message data to preselected database systems based on the specialized nature of the information request so that these database systems disperse information requested in the information request. In both aspects, the system of the present invention can be appropriately adapted to communicate over a network server, and also, to permit financial transactions between the central controller and a user to take place over the network server.

Claims

1. A message broadcast system comprising:

at least one message data generator adapted to generate message data that contains preference data;

at least one preselected database system; and

a central controller adapted to communicate with said message data generator and said database systems to receive and store said message data from said message data generator, and to broadcast said message data to said preselected database systems to reflect said preference data contained in said message data.
