The present system provides for broadcast of up to the minute notification centric information thereby providing an instant call to action for users who are provided with the ability to instantaneously retrieve further detailed information. The notification centric portions of information is wirelessly broadcast to wireless receiving devices which are attached to computing devices. Upon receipt of the information at the personal computer, the user is notified through different multimedia alerts that there is an incoming message. Wirelessly broadcasted URL's, associated with the data, are embedded in data packets and provide an automated wired or wireless connection back to the information source for obtaining detailed data. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for transmitting data from an information provider to selected remote computing devices, wherein the information provider provides one or more categories or subcategories of information to remote computing devices for viewing on the selected remote computing devices, the method comprising: the information provider communicating with a central broadcast server; the information provider providing data to the central broadcast server for the central broadcast server to parse by one or more parsers, build data blocks, assign addresses, and transmit data to be viewed by a viewer specific to the information provider in each of the selected remote computing devices. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method for transmitting data to selected remote computing devices of claim 1 further comprising: the information provider receiving requests from at least one of the viewers for more detailed information responsive to receipt of the data by the viewers and the information provider transmitting the requested detailed information to the requesting viewers. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method for transmitting data to selected remote computing devices of claim 1 wherein the viewer specific to the information provider is adapted to receive only data based upon data from the information provider. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method for transmitting data to selected remote computing devices of claim 1 wherein the data includes information to cause an automated connection back to the information provider for obtaining additional information. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method for transmitting data to selected remote computing devices of claim 4 wherein the data includes information to cause a connection back to the information provider for obtaining additional information. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The method for transmitting data to selected remote computing devices of claim 4 wherein the data includes information to cause a connection back to the information provider for obtaining additional information in response to a single user action. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method for transmitting data to selected remote computing devices of claim 6 wherein the single user action consists of a click on an icon. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method for transmitting data to selected remote computing devices of claim 1 wherein the viewer specific to the information provider is adapted to receive data based upon data from plural information providers. ### Claim 9 A method for transmitting data from an information provider comprising: the information provider providing one or more related categories or subcategories of information as to selected remote computing devices for viewing on the selected remote computing devices; the information provider communicating with a central broadcast server; the information provider providing data of the one or more categories or subcategories of information to the central broadcast server for the central broadcast server to parse by one or more parsers, build data blocks, assign addresses, and transmit data to a viewer specific to the information provider in each of the selected remote computing devices, whether the selected remote computing devices are online or offline to the information provider. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 comprising the information provider providing the viewers to the selected remote computing devices. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 further comprising: the information provider receiving requests from at least one of the viewers for more detailed information responsive to receipt of the messages by the viewers; and the information provider transmitting the requested detailed information to the requesting viewers. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the viewers can be configured to play at least one of sound, video and animations, and the information provider transmitting the requested detailed information including at least one of sound, video and animations in accordance with the configuration. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the viewers can be configured to play at least one of sound, video and animation stored on the selected remote computing devices. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the information provider causes the viewers to play at least one of a predefined sound, a predefined video and a predefined animation upon a predefined action on the selected remote computing devices. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the information provider causes the viewers to play at least one of a user-defined sound, a user-defined video and a user-defined animation upon a predefined action on the selected remote computing devices. ### Claim 16 A server system for causing data to be transmitted to selected remote computing devices comprising: a first software subsystem configured to receive data from one or more information providers, wherein each information provider comprises a provider of one or more related categories or subcategories of information; one or more parsers configured to break or divide data into components whose content or format can be analyzed, processed, or acted upon; a second software subsystem configured to build data blocks from data, and to assign addresses to the data blocks, wherein the data blocks include sufficient information to be effectively communicated to a third software subsystem configured to prepare the data blocks for transmission as messages to the selected remote computing devices to be viewed by viewers respectively specific to the information providers in each of the selected remote computing devices. ### Claim 17 A system for transmitting data to selected remote computing devices comprising: a server system including: a first software subsystem configured to receive data from one or more information providers, wherein the information providers comprise providers of data for the selected remote computing devices for one or more related categories or subcategories of information; one or more parsers configured to break or divide data into components whose content or format can be analyzed, processed, or acted upon; a second software subsystem configured to build data blocks from data, and to assign addresses to the data blocks; a third software subsystem configured to prepare the data blocks for transmission as messages to the selected remote computing devices; a transmission gateway for transmitting the messages to the selected remote computing devices for instantaneously notifying the selected remote computing devices of receipt of data whether the selected remote computing devices are online or offline to the information providers of the data, wherein the messages corresponding to the data received by the first software subsystem are transmitted to the selected remote computing devices identified by the content of the received data. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The system of claim 17 wherein the data comprises at least one of notifications regarding E-mail arrival, stock prices reaching specified values, Internet telephone calls, chats and meeting notices. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The system of claim 17 wherein the information providers consist of online information sources.
