First Claim
1. A system for implementing an information distribution network, said system comprising:
- a transport server configured to provide information distribution services through said information distribution network;
user devices that device users utilize to connect with said transport server to automatically receive said information distribution services,wherein said system utilizes a transport structure configured to communicate with said transport server and said user devices in said information distribution network,wherein said transport structure is updated based on metadata from said user devices to transfer said metadata to said transport server, wherein said metadata is used to identify and transmit reminder information from said transport server to a target user device of said user devices, and wherein said reminder information is displayed on a display device of said target user device,wherein said transport server is further configured to;
store a current status of said transport structure in a database; and
analyze said metadata to generate said reminder information, andwherein said transport structure comprises a plurality of fields, andwherein a first user device of said user devices is configured to automatically monitor inventory of consumable products in said first user device, update said plurality of fields of said transport structure with said metadata related to said inventory, and communicate with a second user device of said user devices via said transport structure to communicate a current status of consumption of said inventory in said first user device to said second user device.

Abstract
A system and method for distributing reminder information in an electronic network includes an information service that is configured to provide information distribution services through said information distribution network. User devices are provided for device users to communicate with the information service for receiving the information distribution services. A transport structure communicates with network entities in the information distribution network for collecting appropriate types of metadata. A transport server then performs a metadata analysis procedure upon the various types of metadata to responsively generate the reminder information.
