Abstract

The present invention is an on-request service precluding unwanted solicitation of electronic messages. More specifically, an environment is created whereby a user may request information in desired categories, customize each request with respect to the amount of information wanted, the active duration of such request, the device or IP address(es) to which to deliver such information and other user-specified preferences. Further, an advertiser may respond to the request by providing the sought after information by way of the service, and may, in turn, define requirements and specifications related to budget, time period, response goals, etc. The system operates on the basis of subscriber and supplier having active requests and historical record of requests and fulfillment managed as Information Accounts.

64. A communication system, comprising:

a dynamic request data system is communicatively connected to an Internet;

an information control panel is communicatively connected to the dynamic request data system;

an email account is communicatively connected to the dynamic request data system;

an information supplier system is communicatively connected to the dynamic request data system;

wherein the dynamic request data system, as one of a trusted intermediary and a third party, upon receiving a request via the information control panel, initiates a search in one of the internet and the information supplier system and delivers information fulfilling the request to the email account.

65. The method of claim 64, wherein a feature of one of the trusted intermediary and the third party is achieved by having an information memory system to hold a lookup table.

66. The method of claim 64, wherein a feature of one of the trusted intermediary and the third party is achieved by a channelized address.

67. The method of claim 64, wherein a feature of the trusted intermediary and the third party is achieved by a limited used cryptographic system.

68. The method of claim 64, wherein a feature of one of the trusted intermediary and the third party is achieved by a traditional email alias account wherein the aliases are deleted from the account once a predetermined time has expired.

69. The method of claim 64, wherein a feature of one of the trusted intermediary and the third party is achieved by storing a computer table in a relational database.

70. The method of claim 65, wherein the lookup table is held by a bonded party to insulate the information control panel and the information supplier system from knowing each other.

71. The method of claim 64, wherein a feature of one of the trusted intermediary and the third party is achieved by insulating a purchasing party and a selling party from knowing each other after consummation of a sales transaction.
