Data transmission verification and identification system and method
First Claim
1. A data transmission management system on a computer network having a provider computer and a user computer, the user computer being identifiable by a computer identifier, wherein the provider computer and the user computer are in communication there between, the system comprising:
- a storage member;
a confirmation system, wherein the confirmation system is configured to receive a request for data transmitted from the user computer and to confirm the request for data prior to the transmission of the data to the user computer, by communicating a confirmation request that is unrelated to the price associated with the requested data; and
a redirect system, wherein the confirmation system and the redirect system are coupled to each other and the storage member, and wherein the redirect system identifies the geographic region of the user computer prior to the transmission of data;
wherein the re-direct system is configured to identify an IP address associated with a user computer from which a request for data is received, and to convert the IP address to an IP identifier by the following conversion equation;
(component1*2562)+(component2*256)+(component3),where component1, component2 and component3 are each different component parts of the IP address and where the re-direct system identifies a geographic region based at least in part on the IP identifier.

Abstract
Embodiments of the data transmission management system are directed to a system which confirms transmission requests from users and identifies the user'"'"'s geographical region. Embodiments of the data transmission management system comprise a storage member, a confirmation system and a re-direct system, wherein the confirmation system confirms a user'"'"'s request for data and identifies the user'"'"'s geographical region, and wherein the re-direct system selects and transmits suitable data for that region. The data transmission management system further operates in conjunction with an animated module utilized to ascertain payment data, wherein the animated module visually depicts the desired information from the user.

11. A data management system on a communication network for confirming a user'"'"'s request for transmission of data before providing requested data to the user, the system comprising:
-
a computer processor configured to respond to a data request received on the communication network by (a) communicating a request for confirmation to a user associated with the request, the request for confirmation being unrelated to a price associated with requested data, (b) determining if the user confirms or does not confirm the data request and (c) providing a notice to direct data to the user in the event of a determination that the user confirmed the data request, where such data is not directed to the user in the event of a determination that the user has not confirmed the data request; and the computer processor further configured for selecting data to provide to the user on the communication network in response to receipt of the notice from the anti-fraud unit to direct data to the user; the computer processor further configured to provide; an IP converter that generates an IP identifier from one or more selected portions of an IP address associated with the user from which the data request is received, the IP identifier being different than the IP address from which it was generated; a look-up engine that matches the IP identifier with a particular geographic region; and a re-direct controller that determines whether the requested information is appropriate for that particular geographic region and, if not, to select appropriate data for that particular geographic region. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A data management method on a communication network for confirming a user'"'"'s request for transmission of data before providing requested data to the user, the method comprising:
-
receiving a data request from a user on the communication network; responding to the data request received on the communication network by (a) communicating a request for confirmation to a user associated with the request, the request for confirmation being unrelated to a price associated with requested data, (b) determining if the user confirms or does not confirm the data request and (c) providing a notice to direct data to the user in the event of a determination that the user confirmed the data request, where such data is not directed to the user in the event of a determination that the user has not confirmed the data request; selecting data to provide to the user on the communication network in response to the notice to direct data to the user; generating, via a computer processor, an IP identifier from one or more selected portions of an IP address associated with the user from which the data request is received, the IP identifier being different than the IP address from which it was generated; matching, via the computer processor, the IP identifier with a particular geographic region; and determining whether the requested information is appropriate for that particular geographic region and, if not, selecting appropriate data for that particular geographic region. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
