The Automated Data Delivery Systems (ADDS) are two delivery systems
designed to either deliver specific data to customer computers over a
network such as the Internet or from one application program to another
application program. In both cases the user computer requesting data
delivery can either have an automatic data reception capability or
receive the data without screening the incoming data. In particular, ADDS
are systems that allow data delivery services to be offered on the
Internet or an Intranet between two Internet/Intranet sites (I2I) or a
data delivery service to be offered between an Internet site and a User
Computer (I2U). In addition the ADDS invention includes a modification to
existing or future application programs that allow the program to deliver
1) specified data 2) in the format specified by the user 3) to the
location specified by the user, and 4) at a schedule specified by the
user.
