Abstract

An information broadcasting system that is fully automated and user-friendly. The system includes an Information Device that transmits a signal to a Device Server. The Device Server process the transmitted signal which includes a unique identification code for the Information Device. The information is processed by the Device Server in accordance with rules provided by the user and stored in a database. The server then transmits messages to entities previously designated by the user in formats designated by the user, such as email, pagers, text messaging, instant messaging, pre-recorded telephone messages or any other form.

Claims

1. An information broadcasting system, wherein said system comprises:

an information device for transmitting a signal;

a device server for receiving a transmitted signal from said information device and processing said transmitted signal; and

a database on said device server for providing instructions to said device server for broadcasting information in accordance with the instructions.

2. The information broadcasting system of claim 1 wherein said information device includes:

a unique identification code that is transmitted in said signal.

3. The information broadcasting system of claim 1 wherein said information device includes:

said transmitted signal includes a unique identification code for said information device; and

additional information regarding said signal.

4. The information broadcasting system of claim 1 wherein said information device includes:

said transmitted signal is transmitted in XML or any other data format.

5. The information broadcasting system of claim 1 wherein said information device includes:

a communications link using a data transmission service/network for transmitting said transmitted signal.

6. The information broadcasting system of claim 1 wherein said system further includes:

a system for allowing a user to provide instructions to said database on processing said transmitted signal; and

said information including entities to be contacted and the form of contact in the event of an signal.

7. The information broadcasting system of claim 1 wherein said device server further comprises:

sending messages to entities identified in said database for said unique identification code.

8. The information broadcasting system of claim 1 wherein said device server further comprises:

a communications unit for sending messages to entities identified in said database for said unique identification code and in a form identified in said database for said unique identification code.

9. An information broadcasting system, wherein said system comprises:

an information device having a unique identification code for transmitting an signal containing said unique identification code;

a device server for receiving a transmitted signal from said information device, processing said transmitted signal and broadcasting information based on said transmitted signal to specified entities; and

a database for providing instructions based on said unique identification code to said device server on processing said transmitted signal.

10. The information broadcasting system of claim 9 wherein said information device includes:

additional information in said transmitted signal regarding said signal.

11. The information broadcasting system of claim 9 wherein said information device includes:

said transmitted signal is in XML or any other data format.

12. The information broadcasting system of claim 9 wherein said information device includes:

said transmitted signal is transmitted through a communications link using a data transmission service/network.

13. The information broadcasting system of claim 9 wherein said system further includes:

a system for allowing a user to provide information to said database on processing said transmitted signal; and

said information including entities to be contacted and form of contact in the event of an signal.

14. The information broadcasting system of claim 9 wherein said device server further comprises:

sending messages to entities identified in said database for said unique identification code; and

sending said messages to said entities in a form identified in said database for said unique identification code.

15. An information broadcasting system, wherein said system comprises:

an information device having a unique identification code for transmitting a signal containing said unique identification code;
