Abstract

Automatic transmission of information is generated when the content of a posted electronic form matches a predefined criteria. An interface allows the user to create a criterion template to specify the match criterion without requiring the user to have the skills of a professional programmer. The person to be notified and the form and content of the notification can also be defined by the user and can be dependent on the content of the posted form. In one application, individuals associated with an institution of higher learning are automatically notified when a student submits an electronic profile form showing that the student meets a pre-specified criteria.

Claims1

Dependent claims

A method of assisting college recruiters to identify students meeting criteria specified by the college, comprising:

providing on a ongoing basis to multiple students forms for creating personal profiles over a computer network;
creating personal profiles, each personal profile associated with one of the multiple students;
providing to recruiters from multiple institutions a template to specify a student criterion;
automatically comparing personal profiles with the student criterion to find personal profiles that meet the criterion;
and
as personal profiles are submitted, automatically generating an electronic notification to one or more individuals at the college notifying the one or more individuals of the student whose profile meets the criterion or responding to the student who meets the profile.
