In

this

fashion,

producers

can

also

be

of

content

from

others

on

the

system.

The

preferred

system

and

also

includes

local

for

the

locally

and

distribution

of

that

content

to

others

connected

to

the

hub,

or

to

other

hubs

and

their

a?iliated

recipients.

The

system

and

may

also

provide

the

ability

to

fax

selected

textual

or

graphic

information

to

intended

These

and

other

aspects

of

the

Will

become

as

the

speci?cation

proceeds.

In

this

regard,

it

is

to

be

understood

that

the

scope

of

the

is

to

be

determined

by

reference

to

the

claims

and

not

to

this

Brief

Summary.

OBJECTS

AND

ADVANTAGES

OF

THE

INVENTION

It

is

an

object

of

the

present

invention

to

provide

a

reliable

and

automated

system

and

method

for

distribution

of

media

information

or

content.

It

is

yet

another

object

of

the

invention

to

provide

such

a

system

that

can

be

used

to

distribute

audio

or

text

for

national

radio

broadcasters.

It

is

an

advantage

provided

by

the

applicant’

s

invention

that

the

present

system

and

method

can

reliably

distribute

any

type

of

media4data,

images,

audio,

video, or

multimedia.

Yet

another

advantage

is

that

the

present

method

and

sys

tem

can

economically

push

content

to

recipients

through

e?icient

broadcast

mediums

such

as

satellite

broadcasting

systems.

A

further

advantage

is

that

the

present

method

and

system

provides

con?rmation

of

receipt

to

the

party

pushing

or

broadcasting

the

content.

A

still

further

advantage

is

that

the

present

method

and

system can

also

remotely

activate

intended

recipients

to

per

form

a

pull

or

doWnload

of

content

from

the

system,

thus

reducing

or

eliminating

the

need

for

continuous

telecommu

nications

connections

typically

required

to

push

content

to

intended

recipients,

thereby

also

reducing

or

eliminating

associated

communication

expenses.

An

additional

advantage

is

that

the

present

method

and

system

can

alloW

recipients

to

independently

pull

permitted

content

Whenever

desired

by

the

recipients.

Yet

another

advantage

is

that

the

present

system

Works

in

conjunction

With

Well

established

and

Widely

available

aspects

of

the

Internet

While

not

being

dependent

on

the

Internet

to

accomplish

distribution

of

content,

particularly

high

bandWidth

content.

It

is

also

an

advantage

of

the

present

system

and

method

to

provide

a

fall-back

manual

system of

delivery

of

content

When

all

else

fails

or

the

intended

recipient

is

not

a

part

of

the

system.

Another

advantage

is

that

the

present

system

and

method

alloWs

the

distributor

and

recipient

to

utiliZe

or

refrain

from

utiliZing

the

Internet

to

accomplish

distribution

by,

for

example,

accomplishing

an

extraterrestrial

satellite

broadcast

to

permissioned

reception

systems

or

by

direct

terrestrial

connection

independent

of

the

Internet.

A

related

advantage

is

that

the

present

system

and

method

is

very

?exible

and

economical

forboth

the

system

oWner

and

operator

and

those

Who

utiliZe

the

system

to

distribute

con

tent.

Yet

another

advantage

is

that

the

present

system

and

method

is

easy

to

implement and

does

not

require,

or

reduces

the

need

for,

costly

hardWare

deployment

or

upgrades

by

the

system

oWner

or

administrator

over

time.

An

additional

advantage

is

that

the

system

and

method

can

quickly,

e?iciently,

and

reliably

distribute

large,

high

band

Width

?les,

particularly

audio

and

video

?les.

A

related

advantage

is

the

ability

of

the

system

and

method

to

broadcast

?les

through

a

one-Way

broadcast

netWork

and

feed

the

broadcast

?les

into

a

tWo-Way

or

TCP/IP

network.

A

yet

additional

advantage

is

that

the

present

system

and

method

also

alloWs

the

distributor

of

the

information

to

pri

oritize

the

information

to

be

distributed

in

order

to

achieve

the

most

economical

distribution

available

in

vieW

of

the

priori

tiZation,

and

to

customiZe

the

contents

of

the

package

to

re?ect

the

identity

and

preferences

of

the

sending

party.

Another

advantage

of

the

present

system

and

method

is

that

those

Who

use

the

system

and

method

may

readily,

quickly,

and

economically

access

the

central

distribution

management

system

to

determine

the

nature

and

status

of

content

provided

to

the

management

system

for

delivery

to

users.

Yet

an

additional

advantage

is

that

the

producers

and

users

of

content

may

readily

previeW

content

produced

or

delivered

to

the

user

by

the

system

and

method.

There

are

many

other

advantages

of

the

present

invention.

They

Will

become

apparent

as

the

speci?cation

proceeds.

It

is

to

be

understood,

hoWever,

that

the

scope

of

the

invention

is

to

be

determined

by

reference

to

the

claims

and

not

by

Whether

a

claimed

embodiment

necessarily

achieves

all

the

objects

or

advantages

stated

herein

for

the

applicants’

preferred

embodiment.
