SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR INITIATING, MAINTAINING, AND DELIVERING PERSONALIZED INFORMATION BY COMMUNICATION SERVER
First Claim
1. A method for delivering information to recipients, the information related to an identified object, the method comprising:
- receiving a coded activation message, the activation message including at least one identifier of said object as detected or defined by at least one authorized entity, said message also including any necessary identifier of an entity submitting the message, and activating the following processes in response to the received coded activation message;
decoding the activation message to identify the activation message source and the identified object;
utilizing decoded data from the activation message to identify each recipient to which the identified object'"'"'s related information should be delivered;
selecting at least one recipient identified device for each recipient defined by the activated information delivery process;
selecting at least one available communication channel for each selected recipient identified device, and, when relevant parameters are available, optimizing the selection using technical and economical considerations;
retrieving and, when relevant parameters are available, personalizing the information related to the identified object per any defined or imposed preferences and limitations;
adapting the information to a format selected to fit each selected recipient identified device; and
delivering the information through the at least one selected channel, monitoring information flow and responding to any information interaction commands from a recipient.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for personalized information retrieval related to identified objects, prompted by a coded activation message (AM), containing Object Identifiers (OIs), and necessary message-source'"'"'s identifiers. Decoded AMs identify the required information recipients and their communication devices (RIDs) and direct a communication server to a site containing identified object-related information, formatted for personalized delivery defined by RID features and preset preferences of relevant entities. The PCWS interactively monitors and directs information flow through selected, preferred communication links, reestablishing flow upon disruptions or per AMs. Alternatively, the system can include sensors for detecting events associated with relevant objects and potential recipients, and submitting AMs on behalf of relevant recipients. Recipients can use keypad or voice commands for online interactive remote-control of PCWS information retrieval, routing and storage.

15. A system for delivering information related to an identified object to recipients in response to a coded activation message submitted by or on behalf of a message source, the system comprising:
-
means for receiving and decoding an activation message submitted from an activation message source, the activation message comprising at least one identifier of the identified object and information necessary for identifying a message source for authorizing and managing information delivery; means for identifying a list of information recipient to which the information should be delivered; means for identifying relevant recipient identified devices for delivering the information to the at least one information recipient; means for selecting at least one recipient identified devices out of the list of identified devices, means for retrieving information related to the identified object; means for selecting at least one communication channel from available communication channels for each selected recipient identified device, including, when necessary parameters are available, considering operational, technological and economical aspects of the delivery; means for adapting the retrieved information to a format selected to fit known preferences of the activation message source and preferences or limitations of information recipients and recipients'"'"' group and each selected recipients'"'"' identified device and associated communication channels; means for delivering the information; means for monitoring information flow through the selected communication channel to each selected recipient identified device; means for controlling the information flow by the information recipients; means for maintaining the information delivery flow; means for managing online interaction between information recipients and information delivery system, during information delivery processes; means for retrievable logging of relevant delivery process parameters, when parameters are available and logging is requested; and means for assigning fees to entities associated with generation, editing, delivery of information items, and interactive response to information delivery, when the relevant fee formulation is known and the process parameters are available. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

21. A method for communicating information relating to an identified object, the method comprising:
-
receiving an activation message, said activation message identifying at least one recipients'"'"' identified device and said identified object; decoding said activation message; selecting a list of at least one recipients'"'"' identified device related to the activation message, said information to be sent to the at least one recipients'"'"' identified device on the list; retrieving said information related to said identified object; personalizing said information to fit any set preferences for communication of said information; interactively communicating said personalized information via at least one selected communication channel to said at least one selected recipient'"'"'s identified device.
