摘要

A method for a computer system includes receiving a facsimile from a user, wherein the facsimile includes a digitized representation of a document transmitted using a facsimile format, processing the digitized representation of the document to determine a destination e-mail address, reformatting at least a portion of the digitized representation of the document into an e-mail attachment format, processing at least a portion of the digitized representation of the document with an optical character recognition engine to determine one or more key words, providing the one or more key words to an advertisement server, receiving the advertisement data from the advertisement server, and forming an e-mail message addressed to the destination e-mail address including a body portion and an attachment portion, wherein the body portion includes the advertisement data, and wherein the attachment portion includes the portion of the digitized representation of the document in the e-mail attachment format.
