Abstract
The invention relates to a method and system for transmitting information over a communication network comprising a user device and a server wherein the user device receives the information from or via this server. The method comprises the step triggering an interactive session between the server and the user device depending on at least one property of the requested information and evaluating the result of the interactive session. On the basis of the result of the interactive session it is determined whether and/or in what form the requested information is transmitted to the user device.
Claims38
Method for transmitting information over a communication network comprising at least a first server and a user device the method comprising the steps of
- receiving a request for the information from the user device at the first server;
- triggering an interactive session between the first server and the user device depending on at least one property of the requested information;
- evaluating the result of the interactive session on the basis of which it is determined whether and/or in what form the requested information is transmitted to the user device.
Method according to one of the preceding claims wherein a user profile and/or user device profile is stored at or retrievable by the first server from a profile database.
Method according to one of the preceding claims wherein the interactive session involves sending at least one query from the first server to the user device which query is presented to the user and at least one user response which is received at the first server.
Method according to any of the preceding claims wherein the information comprises information parts and the at least one property relates to one or more of these information parts.
System for transmitting information over a communication network comprising at least:
- a user device suited for requesting information;
- a first server comprising:
- means for receiving a request for the information;
- means for setting up an interactive session with the user device depending on at least one property of the requested information;
- evaluation means for evaluating the result of the interactive session as to whether and in what form the requested information is transmitted to the user device, and
- means for transmitting information.
A computer program for running on a computer system, at least including software code portions for transmitting information over a communication network comprising a user device and a first server comprising the steps of:
- receiving a request for the information from the user device at the first server;
- triggering an interactive session between the first server and the user device depending on at least one property of the requested information;
- evaluating the result of the interactive session on the basis of which it is determined whether and in what form the requested information is transmitted to the user device.
A data carrier, stored with data loadable in a computer memory said data representing a computerprogram for running on a computer system, at least including software code portions for transmitting information over a communication network comprising a user device and a first server comprising the steps of:
- receiving a request for the information from the user device to the first server;
- triggering an interactive session between the first server and the user device depending on at least one property of the requested information;
- evaluating the result of the interactive session on the basis of which it is determined whether and in what form the requested information is transmitted to the user device.
A communication network for carrying information comprising at least a user device and a first server, the communication network being suited for:
- carrying a request for information from the user device to the first server;
- setting up and maintaining an interactive session between the first server and the user device depending on at least one property of the requested information;
- carrying information from the first server to the user device corresponding to the result of the interactive session.
