Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention In one form of the invention, an interactive information storage unit containing client data is in the form of a Portfolio CD-Rom. After inserting the CD-Rom into a CD-Rom drive of a computer, a window 10 appears on the screen of the monitor, as shown in Fig. 1.
The menu 11 in the right hand portion of the screen contains buttons 12, 13. 14. 15. 16 and 17. The left hand portion of the screen consists of an embedded window 18 which displays the name of the client using graphics and/or text. The graphics and/or text may consist of static information or animation.
When any one of buttons 12. 13. 14 or 15 are activated, a successive window opens containing information relating to the button title. Button 12 represents video information which when depressed will open a subsequent window displaying a video representative of the client. Similarly, depressing button 13 will open a window where audio tracks can be heard and images or photos of the client viewed by the user called a reader. Activating button 15 of Figure 1 will link the reader to a navigable computer site which is in the form of an Internet web site whose home page is http://www.portfoliocd.com.au. Specifically, the button will link the reader to the 'gigs' page http://www.portfoliocd.com.au/gigs.htm. whose window 20 is shown in Figure 2. Window 20 displays information about where a reader can go to see a client perform. Within this window, the client 24 is listed and a chronological list 26 of events displayed underneath. Details include the venue, date and time of each event and may include information about the nature of the performance, booking information and a hyperlink to a booking agent. Additionally, the window 20 may include a link 25 such that the reader can request to join the on-line mailing list of the client. The left hand portion of the web-page contains an index 22 of information buttons for the reader.
Figure 3 displays window 30 containing bibliographic information about the client when button 14 (Figure 1) is activated. This window. contains a text box 32 and an image box 34. Two menu buttons 36 and 38 allow the reader to step back 36 to the previous window or forward 38 to the next successive window within the bibliographic sequence. Note that having activated button 36. the reader returns to window 40 shown in Figure 4. identical to window 10 shown in Figure 1. yet with the inclusion of a 'feedback' button 41. The reader having completed the task of reviewing at least part of the client data, and having mentally made an assessment of the client is able to activate the feedback button 41 in order to provide feedback to the client about the information contained on the Portfolio CD-Rom..
Button 41 is hyperlinked to a web-page shown in Figure 5 within the website, whose address is specified as http ://www. portf oliocd . com. au/f eedback. htm. It is here that online comments and feedback relating to the quality of the clients information displayed on the Portfolio CD-Rom. are made by the reader, and access of this feedback information by clients occurs. The right hand column consists of various input boxes 51. 52. 53. . . 57. This feedback page has provision for the company or business name 52 the name of the reader 51 giving feedback. Box 53 relates to the client to which the reader is reviewing and a ranking system 54 is provided where the reader can choose what they think is the appropriate rating of the client. Furthermore, there are fields provided for inputting feedback on subjects such as 'Good Points' 55. 'Points for
Improvement' 56 and 'Other Comments and Further Interest' 57. Input into these boxes 55. 56 and 57 may be optional or compulsory prior to forwarding the information via the 'Send feedback' button 58. The left hand column 22 contains an index of information buttons for the reader. On activating button 58. window 60 of Figure 6 appears to confirm that the feedback information has been forwarded.
The feedback information is forwarded to a client review area which can be accessed via the Client Log in Page 70. shown in Figure 7. for the client to view reader feedback information in relation to their CD Portfolio on a separate secure password-protected page. Figure 7 includes a list of clients with whom are registered with the service. On selecting any one of the client names within the list a window appears and prompts the reader to input a password. Successful login will link the client to the client feedback page. Alternatively, the client can access the client log in page via the web-site home page 80 (Figure 8). which can be accessed directly without the aid of the CD-Rom.
Additionally, activating the send feedback button 58 (Figure 5) triggers a prearranged automatic payment system which determines the amount to be paid. The system recognises the first reader to look at the Portfolio CD-Rom from a number of readers, and pays that first reader more than the rest. This is designed to make all readers enthusiastic to look at the information, thinking they could possibly invoice for more money and additionally to encourage the turn around time of feedback information to occur quickly.
An agreement is negotiated on pricing for a first viewing and subsequent viewing of information. With permission from the reader the automatic invoices are set up. personalised from the reader but generated by the payment system. Payment to the readers occurs monthly and the feedback information is accessed immediately by the clients.
Any number of buttons may be incorporated in the menu 11 (Figure 1). further examples include an interview button to provide access to a video interview representative of the client. This video interview may be prerecorded or may occur real-time provided video conference facilities are available.
A second CD-Rom may be used to create a contact list of potential clients who will subscribe client data to the CD-Rom. Portfolio CD. Alternatively, the contact list of potential clients who will subscribe client data can be delivered electronically. The second CD-Rom is used by the readers to activate a window in the reader's computer desk top. The window 90 is shown in Figure 9. Information associated with the reader's name, a contact name and a contact email address can be entered into field boxes 91, 92 and 93. These reader details are stored in the web browser so that the next time the second CD-Rom is used, the data contained in field boxes 91. 92 and 93 automatically appears. Contact information of potential clients who may subscribe client data to the Portfolio CD-Rom can then be listed into additional field boxes 95. 96 and 97. The client or artist name is entered into field box 95. a contact name into field box 96 and a contact number into field box 97. The window 90 can be minimised rather than closed so that it can be easily opened when required in order to continue adding data to the field boxes 95. 96 and 97 prior to sending 100 the information. For convenience, potential client details may be saved 98 for submitting at a later date, and details maybe deleted 99. At any time the information may be forwarded 100 to the CD provider who. from the information contained, generates a contact list of clients from whom client data for further Portfolio CD-Roms may be obtained. Clients whom agree to submit client data, forward their data to the CD provider who then customises a Portfolio CD-Rom for that client. The CD provider then informs the reader of successful Portfolio CD-Rom sign ups and distributes the new Portfolio CD through its reader network. lt will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the invention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described.
