ABSTRACT

An information aggregation and synthesization system and
process. The present invention provides aggregation and
packaging of structured or unstructured information from
disparate sources such as those available on a network such
as the Internet. A network compatible/addressable interface
device is operated by a user. The network interface device
communicates with local datastores or network accessible
datastores via an addressing scheme such as Uniform
Resource Locator addresses (URLs) utilized by the Internet.
Data passing between the network interface device and the
datastores is accessed, polled, and retrieved through an
intermediary gateway system. Such aggregated information
is then synthesized, customized, personalized and localized
to meet the information resource requests specified by the
user via the network interface device.
