Data collection device and system
First Claim
1. An apparatus for use with at least one specifier apparatus and a network system including an input device and a network device linked to the input device, the input device equipped to receive information including information units and network device target addresses associated with information units, the input device also capable of transferring the received units to associated target addresses, the at least one specifier apparatus including at least one information unit and at least one target address associated with the at least one information unit, the apparatus for remotely collecting the at least one information unit and the at least one target address from the at least one specifier apparatus, correlating the at least one unit with at least one target address and providing the information unit and target address to the input device, the apparatus comprising:
- a collector for remotely collecting the at least one information unit from the at least one specifier apparatus;
a memory;
a processor linked to the collector for receiving the at least one information unit therefrom and also linked to the memory for providing the information unit thereto and accessing information units stored therein, the processor associating the target address with the collected information unit; and
an output device linked to the processor for transmitting the information unit and target address to the input device.
