Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automatically producing actual distributed data sequences, integrating, as distributed data sequences, central address tables which are stored in data bases and transmitted by electronic data transfer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method by which an end-user can collect and store information form the Internet, in particular from website addresses and can transmit the information to other Internet end-users. The method also allows attribute-based modifications and the addition of information. The invention consists of selecting and packaging stored information that is to be distributed to other end-users. The second end-user can then unpack the received information and process it in the same manner as the first end-user. The desired information that is of interest is stored in a hierarchy determined by the end-user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for electronic franking wherein the customer is provided with an authenticable code which may be written or otherwise printed on a mail piece or mail piece. Given the authentic nature of the code, the code may be provided remotely. The code may be linked to a delivery address, the relationship later verified. Alternatively, the code may be the result of applying a precode and date of purchase to an algorithm thereby producing a resulting code. The resulting code can be easily verified. The algorithm is complex and difficult to reverse engineer, including an encryption algorithm.
