Abstract

A method for compiling information indicating that an identified user has been in communication with at least one of a plurality of differently located and identified information sources includes using a receiver to receive first information that an identified user has been in communication with at least one of the plurality of differently located and identified information sources, using a receiver to receive second information that the identified user has interacted with the first information, and using a processor to compile the first and second information to determine the relative effectiveness of the identified information source.

Claims

1. A method for compiling information indicating that an identified user has been in communication with at least one of a plurality of differently located and identified information sources, comprising:

using a receiver to receive first information that an identified user has been in communication with at least one of the plurality of differently located and identified information sources;

using a receiver to receive second information that the identified user has interacted with the first information; and

using a processor to compile the first and second information to determine the relative effectiveness of the identified information source.

2. The method of claim 1, further including using the receiver to receive the first information from one or more first sources and receiving the second information from one or more second sources different from the one or more first sources.

3. The method of claim 1, further including using the receiver to receive the first information or the second information through a computer network.

4. The method of claim 1, further including using the receiver to receive the first information or the second information through a wireless communication.

5. The method of claim 1, further including using a transmitter to transmit the determined relative effectiveness to one or more of the differently located and identified information sources or to a processor controlling or communicating with one or more of the plurality of differently located and identified information sources.

6. The method of claim 1, further including using a processor to compile identified user information.

7. The method of claim 6, further including using a transmitter to transmit the compiled identified user information to a processor controlling or communicating the second information.

8. The method of claim 1, further including using a receiver to receive identified user information from the identified user.

9. The method of claim 1, further including using the receiver to receive identified user information and using the processor to compile the identified user information with the first or second information.

14. The system of claim 1, further including a transmitter to transmit the determined relative effectiveness to one or more of the differently located and identified information sources or to a processor controlling or communicating with one or more of the plurality of differently located and identified information sources.

10. A system for compiling information indicating that an identified user has been in communication with at least one of a plurality of differently located and identified information sources, comprising:

a receiver for receiving first information that an identified user has been in communication with at least one of the plurality of differently located and identified information sources and for receiving second information that the identified user has interacted with the first information; and

a processor for compiling the first and second information to determine the relative effectiveness of the identified information source.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the first information is received from one or more first sources and the second information is received from one or more second sources different from the one or more first sources.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the receiver is connected to a computer network and wherein the first information or the second information is received through the computer network.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein the receiver includes a wireless receiver and wherein the first information or the second information is received wirelessly.

15. The system of claim 10, wherein the processor is adapted to compile identified user information.

16. The system of claim 15, further including a transmitter to transmit the compiled identified user information to a processor controlling or communicating the second information.

17. The system of claim 10, wherein the receiver is adapted to receive identified user information from the identified user.

18. The system of claim 10, wherein the receiver is adapted to receive identified user information and wherein the processor is adapted to compile the identified user information with the first or second information.
