Abstract

A system (200 in fig. 2) and method for providing user-selected information to paging device (100 in fig.1). An enhanced paging system (200) responsive to information sources (210) and a selection device (220) transmits information to the paging device (100). The enhanced paging system (200) including a storage device (240), a selecting device (250), a storing device (260) and a transmitter (270). Such a system (200) providing user-selected information to the paging device (100) allowing the user (not shown) to control what information will be sent and when the information will be sent. Intelligent-agent software can automatically search for and store information that would be of interest to the user and can alert the user that more detailed information is available. The intelligent-agent software can also send critical information to the user without user request.

7. The invention of claim 1, wherein the selection device comprises a computer.
8. The invention of claim 1, wherein the selection device comprises a paging-capable device not selected to receive information.
9. The invention of claim 1, wherein the information source comprises a computer network.
10. The invention of claim 9, wherein the computer network comprises an Internet network.
11. The invention of claim 1, wherein the information source comprises a telephone network.
12. The invention of claim 1, wherein said information from an information source comprises information selectable by only one user.
13. The invention of claim 1, wherein said information from an information source comprises paging codes.
14. The invention of claim 1, wherein said information from an information source comprises e-mail.
15. The invention of claim 1, wherein said information from an information source comprises voice mail.
16. The invention of claim 1, wherein the means for automatically storing stores information from an information source without altering its content.
17. A method for providing user-selected information to a paging-capable device comprising the steps of:
(a) automatically storing information in a storage device;
(b) selecting at least a portion of the information automatically stored in the storage device to be sent to a paging-capable device, the selecting being made from a selection device different from the paging-capable device; and (c) transmitting the information selected in step (b) to the paging-capable device.
18. The method of claim 17 further comprising the step of using intelligent-agent software to retrieve information from an information source.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein the intelligent-agent software uses an instruction from a user to retrieve information from an information source.
20. The method of claim 18, wherein the intelligent-agent software infers from a user's past conduct to retrieve information from an information source.
21. The method of claim 17 further comprising the steps of:
(d) receiving information from an information source;
(e) using intelligent-agent software to determine whether the information received in step (d) is critical; and (f) transmitting the information received in step (d) to the paging-capable device without user request, in response to the information being critical.
22. The method of claim 21, wherein the intelligent-agent software uses an instruction from a user to determine whether the information received in step (d) is critical.
