Claims
- 1. An information aggregation and synthesization process to retrieve information in a network in which a user operates a network addressable device, which process comprises:
- communicating between said network addressable device and at least one network accessible datastore through network addressing means;
- analyzing of a returned text stream from said network datastore; and
- retrieval from an advertising datastore and insertion of advertising or product discount information in the text stream based upon a threshold matching of a predetermined criteria and said text stream analysis.
- 2. An information aggregation and synthesization process as set forth in claim 1 wherein said network specific addressing means includes Uniform Resource Locators (URLs).
- 3. An information aggregation and synthesization process as set forth in claim 1 wherein said analyzing is performed through an intermediary gateway system.
- 4. An information and aggregation and synthesization process as set forth in claim 1 including the additional step of identifying graphic material in data returned from said datastores and replacing said graphic material with a text anchor.
- 5. An information aggregation and synthesization process to retrieve information in a network in which a user operates a network addressable interface device, which process comprises:
- communicating between said network addressable interface device and at least one network datastore through network addressing means;
- accessing a text stream passing between said network addressable interface device and said network datastore by an intermediary gateway system;
- retrieval of advertising or product discount information from an advertising datastore based upon a threshold matching of predetermined criteria and the text stream analysis and insertion of the advertising or product discount information in said text stream;
- gathering of explicit information from said user and gathering of implicit information to develop a user profile;
- providing information about said user to a lead purchaser; and
- providing information to a third party to meet needs identified.
- 6. An information aggregation and synthesization process as set forth in claim 5 wherein said network specific addressing means includes Uniform Resource Locators (URLs).
- 7. An information aggregation and synthesization process as set forth in claim 5 wherein said analyzing is performed through an intermediary gateway system.
