Abstract

The present invention provides a system for providing printed information to a user that is obtained from a data base of a first party, the system includin g: a user printer module for interfacing the user with the data base, the modul e being responsive to the user requesting first information from the data base for obtaining the first information and generating a first printed media tha t displays to the user the first information together with second information; identifier means for applying an identifier to the first printed media such that designation of the second information by the user corresponds to a designation of the identifier and results in the generation of a second printed media that displays to the user third information; and account means for applying a financial debit from the first party against a second party from whom the third information is derived.

Claims (23)

1. A system for providing printed information to a user that is obtained from a data base of a first party, the system including:

a user printer module for interfacing the user with the data base, the module being responsive to the user requesting first information from the data base for obtaining the first information and generating a first printed media that displays to the user the first information together with second information;

identifier means for applying an identifier to the first printed media such that designation of the second information by the user corresponds to a designation of the identifier and results in the generation of a second printed media that displays to the user third information; and account means for applying a financial debit from the first party against a second party from whom the third information is derived.
2. A system according to claim 1 wherein the debit is a predetermined periodic fee.
3. A system according to claim 1 including calculation means that are responsive to the module for the determining the quantum of the debit.
4. A system according to claim 3 wherein the calculation means is responsive to the number of times the second information is designated by the user.
5. A system according to claim 4 wherein the module is provided to the user by a third party and the calculation means determines a debit that is applied by the third party against one or both of the first party and the second party.

12. A system for providing printed information to a user that is obtained from a data base of a first party, the system including:
a user printer module for interfacing the user with the data base, the module being responsive to the user requesting first information from the data base for obtaining the first information and generating a first printed media that displays to the user the first information together with second information;
an applicator for applying an identifier to the first printed media such that designation of the second information by the user corresponds to a designation of the identifier and results in the generation of a second printed media that displays to the user third information; and an account server for applying a financial debit from the first party against a second party from whom the third information is derived.
13. A method for providing printed information to a user that is obtained from a data base of a first party, the method including the steps of:
interfacing the user with the data base via a user printer module, the module being responsive to the user requesting first information from the data base for obtaining the first information and generating a first printed media that displays to the user the first information together with second information;
applying an identifier to the first printed media such that designation of the second information by the user corresponds to a designation of the identifier and results in the generation of a second printed media that displays to the user third information; and applying a financial debit from the first party against a second party from whom the third information is derived.
14. A method according to claim 13 wherein the debit is applied periodically.
15. A method according to claim 13 including the step of being responsive to the module for determining the quantum of the debit.
16. A method according to claim 15 including the step of being responsive to the number of times the second information is designated by the user for determining the quantum of the debit.
17. A method according to claim 15 including the steps of a third party providing the module to the user and determining a debit that is applied by the third party against one or both of the first party and the second party.
