Abstract
An information distribution system distributes data sets according to a hierarchical association among classes and recipients so that each recipient receives a recipient data set of data sets associated only with that recipient.
Claims13
A computer-implemented method of distributing data to a plurality of recipient accounts, comprising the steps of:
- associating a plurality of classes arranged in a class hierarchy with the plurality of recipient accounts;
- associating a plurality of data sets with the plurality of classes and the plurality of recipient accounts;
- creating a plurality of recipient data sets by associating each data set associated with a class to each recipient account associated with the class so that each recipient data set includes only data sets associated with each corresponding recipient account;
- and
- distributing the plurality of recipient data sets to the corresponding plurality of recipient accounts by sending to each corresponding recipient account a corresponding single data communication that includes the recipient data set that includes only the data sets associated with the corresponding recipient account.

An apparatus for distributing data to a plurality of recipient accounts, the apparatus comprising:
- a computer storage medium storing a data structure and a program;
- a computer system having access to the computer storage medium and configured to execute the program;
- wherein the data structure includes a plurality of classes arranged in a class hierarchy, and further includes the plurality of recipient accounts associated with the plurality of classes;
- and
- wherein the program associates data sets to selected classes and selected recipient accounts, creates a plurality of recipient data sets by associating data sets associated with a selected class to the recipient accounts associated with the selected class so that each recipient data set includes only data sets associated with each corresponding recipient account, and distributes the plurality of recipient data sets to the corresponding plurality of recipients by sending to each corresponding recipient account a corresponding single data communication that includes the recipient data set that includes only the data sets associated with the corresponding recipient account.
