  • Users will have to acquire (for example, by an Internet download) special software (e.g. an "agent") that will be installed on their computer.
  • the "agent” will intercept outgoing electronic data-communications messages at the user's computer, consult the virtual centralized location in a topology of servers for the validity of the recipient address, and replace the address with the valid address, if such replacement is needed.

  • This may actually be a centralized server.
  • it may be a distributed process or set of data or protocol on any communication topology-equivalent server architecture whereby a functional equivalence is achieved with respect to an interaction with a user computer. Since intrinsically each computer or proxy thereto is interconnected to the virtual centralized location in a topology of servers, the actual location of an agent for the user computer may be "physically located" anywhere on a data-communications linkage between the two (e.g.
  • the user-associated agent may actually be a part of the user computer.
  • the agent may be located anywhere on a path between a user computer (sender) and the target of the sending (receiver).
  • the user-associated agent may actually be a part of the virtual centralized location in a topology of servers, such as on a server associated with that user computer.
  • the agent may imitate the user computer from the perspective of the server, and may imitate the server from the perspective of the user computer.
  • the client software agent passes segments to a server using a simple mail protocol.

  • a user's view of acquired client software agent operation emulates a plug-in electronic data-communications software package's operation.
  • step a) establishing a list of registered addresses includes managing at least one address therein according to time-of-day, day-of-week, date-in-year, or a personal schedule. This feature allows an owner of a target address to specify the address that he wants his email sent to according to his availability. For example a target address substitution may be to one email address during working hours and to another email address during non-working hours (evenings, weekends, and holidays).
  • step b) acquiring a client software agent includes transacting a registering of a current target address and of other predetermined data for a user at a user computer.
  • the client software agent transacting includes, for a user at a user computer, the virtual centralized location in a topology of servers updating of a registered current target address of other predetermined data in the established list of registered addresses. While the most common transaction of an "agent" with the centralized location in a topology of servers is verifying or substituting an address, the agent can also be used by a user for changing the users profile at the centralized location in a topology of servers. For example, a user changing his place of employment may specify a new daytime address. Likewise, a user switching to a new mail server system may designate this new email address as his address for evenings, weekends, or holidays.
  • registering of a current target address includes the agent effecting an interactive querying of a user at the user computer.
  • other data may be collected from a user, when the agent is downloaded, such as the users actual name, his physical domicile address, details of his personal profile or preferences, etc.
  • registering of a current target address includes displaying at the user computer information retrieved from the virtual centralized location in a topology of servers. For example, there may be ambiguities in the target address that is to registered. These ambiguities may be with regard to other address that have already been registered at the virtual centralized location in a topology of servers.
  • step b) acquiring a client software agent is by direct installation on the user computer; for example, from a diskette.
  • (step b) acquiring a client software agent is by remote download over a data-communication media to the user computer; for example, over the Internet.
  • (step b) acquiring a client software agent includes authorizing of an installing of a client software agent on another user computer, and the installing is by transfer of a copy of the client software agent; for example, by a site administrator to a plurality of interconnected computers under his administration.
  • step c) a client software agent executing an address substitution transaction includes: • a taking of control over the processing of the electronic data-communications sending,
  • returning of control over the processing includes a transferring of a message or of an electronic data-communications to an SMTP server of the user computer. This returning of control helps to achieve an additional measure of transparency.
  • step d) executing a response transaction includes transmitting a predetermined response to the user computer who originated the present verification query; for example a message saying that the user is on vacation and will only be "opening" his mail on his return.
  • the response is a text message, a voice message, an audio content message, a visual content message, or any combination thereof.

  • a user knows a number of people who would be interested in a certain news item. He address the news item in a single email to all of these recipients via the agent of the present invention.
  • the agent of the present invention transacts a finding of the mailing list having the largest number of these recipients as members. The user may the designate the entire mailing list in place of the few members of it whom he knows. This substitution probably gets the news item to many more interested people than putting a "pass this message along to friends" note at the header of the news item email.
  • step d-ii the finding a current address in the list of registered address yields ambiguous results THEN the acquired client software agent executing an address substitution transaction including notifying of the user computer sending the electronic data-communications of the ambiguous results AND accepting a substitution preference from the user computer.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant la résolution d'adresses électroniques dans des communications de données dans lesquelles les utilisateurs enregistrent leurs détails relatifs aux adresses auprès d'un site centralisé virtuel d'une topologie de serveurs (10), telle qu'un serveur centralisé (13) ou toute autre architecture de type serveur équivalente à une topologie de communication. Ces utilisateurs se procurent également (grâce à un téléchargement d'Internet, par exemple) un logiciel spécial (p. ex « un agent ») qui est installé sur leur ordinateur. L'agent (12) intercepte, sur l'ordinateur utilisateur, les messages de communication de données électroniques sortants, consulte le site centralisé virtuel d'une topologie de serveurs pour vérifier la validité de l'adresse du destinataire, et, si besoin est, remplace l'adresse avec l'adresse valide.
