Method for managing electronic information, the related user terminal and the related information source

Terminal of a first user (U1) for use in a communications network (CN), said communications network (CN) comprising a plurality of electronic information sources (IS . . . ISx) and a plurality of terminals of users (U1 . . . Ux), at least one electronic information source of said plurality of electronic information sources (IS . . . ISx) being adapted to send electronic information towards said terminal of said first user (U1), said terminal comprising:

• a. an information reception part (IRP), adapted to receive electronic information forwarded by at said least one electronic information source of said plurality of electronic information sources (IS . . . ISx), CHARACTERISED IN THAT said communications network (CN) further comprises a community interest management module (CIMM) for determining community information preferences and in that said terminal (U1) further comprises,
• b. an electronic information preference processing part (IPP), adapted to determine an information preference and to forward said information preference towards said community interest management module (CIMM).

Community interest management module (CIMM), for use in a communications network (CN) said communications network (CN) comprising a plurality of electronic information sources (IS . . . Sx) and a plurality ofterminals of users (U1 . . . Ux), at least one electronic information source of said plurality of electronic information sources (IS . . . Sx) being adapted to forward electronic information towards a terminal of a first user (U1), said Community interest management module (CIMM) comprising:

• a. an information preferences reception part (IPRP), adapted to receive information preferences from said terminal of said first user and information preferences of users related to said first user (U2,UX);
• b. community information preferences determination part (CIPDP), adapted to determine community information preferences based on information preferences of said first user and information preferences of said users related to said first user (U1).

Electronic information source (IS . . . ISx), for use in a communications network (CN), said communications network comprising a plurality of said electronic information sources (IS . . . ISx) and a plurality of terminals of users (U1 . . . Ux), said Electronic information source (IS) comprising:

• a. an electronic information sending part (ISP), adapted to send electronic information towards a terminal of a first user (at least one terminal of said plurality of terminals), CHARACTERISED IN THAT said Electronic information source (IS . . . ISx) further comprises:
• b. a preferences exchanging part (PEP), adapted to exchange community information preferences for said first user with a Community interest management module (CIMM);
• and in that said electronic information sending part (ISP) is further adapted to send said electronic information towards said user based on said community information preferences for said user.
