ABSTRACT

An automatic method and system for retrieving information
based on a user-defined profile (e.g. a personalized
newspaper). A user-controlled client establishes communication with a stateless server, the server presenting a list of
options to the client between the server and the client. The
client provides an identification of the user-defined profile,
The server engages a first application program, the first
application program retrieving the user-defined profile
wherein the user-defined profile identifies information which
is of interest to the user. The first application program
examines a database of information and automatically
retrieves a subset of the information from the database based
upon which information is of interest to the user as identified
in the user-defined profile. The server presents the subset of
the information from the database as generated by the first
application program to the client. The first application
program can store a file containing the user-defined profile
in order to retain a state of the user-profile, and cause the
stateless server to emulate a server which retains its state
from session to session.
