RECIPIENT-SPECIFIED AUTOMATED PROCESSING IN A SECURE DATA FILE DELIVERY SYSTEM

摘要

A server interacts with a sender to form a package which can include one or more attached data files to be sent to one or more recipients, and the server processes the package in a manner previously specified by the recipient and represented in a profile. The server delivers the package to the one or more intended recipients by sending notification to each recipient and including in such notification package identification data, e.g., a URL by which the package can be retrieved. The profile of the recipient can be specified as a list of associations between one or more conditions and one or more actions to be carried out upon satisfaction of the associated conditions.
