Appeal 2006-3269
Application 10/734,811
Information Processing and Telecommunications 202 (2nd ed. 1987) (copy
attached).
Gal discloses a system in which a user wishing to send a message visits a
Web page run by a Web server, creates the message, and provides profile
information about the intended recipients of the message (Gal 3: 6-9).
Gal discloses the system uses the profile information to search a database to
obtain a list of recipients and sends the message to the recipients’ computers via
email or via a dynamically-created Web page (Gal 3: 12-15).
Gal discloses using a relational database 90 to store hobby information,
occupation information, and name information about potential recipients in tables,
and using profile information provided by a user to search the database for keys
corresponding to the profile information. The matching keys are then used in the
name table to create a list of email addresses to send the message (Gal 5: 5-14,
Figure 4).
Instead of sending individual invitations in email messages, Gal discloses
that the relational database 90 can be used, along with the profile information
provided by a user, to create invitation tables such as Tables 98 and 100. Each
invitation message is associated with a pointer to the message block. The
recipients of a message are associated with an invitation number. When a recipient
visits the Web page to retrieve the recipient’s invitations, a personal Web page is
dynamically constructed by searching the database 90 for invitations corresponding
to the recipient’s key number (Gal 5: 15-20).
