Abstract

An information system network and method for use thereof for remotely gathering network addresses and sending a message to a network address, the system including at least a remote information collecting device and a network including an input device and a network device, the collecting device in remotely gathering network address and transferring the network address to the input device to be sent to a corresponding network device.

Claims

1. An apparatus for use with a plurality of specifier apparatuses and a network system including an input device and a plurality of network devices linked to the input device,

the input device equipped to receive network device target addresses, each identifying one of the plurality of network devices,

the plurality of specifier apparatuses each representing at least one target address,

the apparatus for remotely collecting at least one target address from at least one specifier apparatus and providing the at least one target address to the input device,

the apparatus comprising:

a data collector comprised of

a. a collector for collecting a target address from at least one specifier apparatus;

b. a processor linked to the collector for receiving the target address therefrom;

c. an output device linked to the processor for transmitting the target address to the input device; and

the input device using the target address to send a message to the network device corresponding to the target address.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the specifier apparatus is a machine readable device.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the output device also sends to the input device identification information for the data collector and the input device also sends the identification information to the respective network device as part of the message.
