<p>A network based method and system for controlling the reception and transmission of event reports (11-17) among numerous users (2-5). A network user (wireless or wired) (2-5) registers with a server (6) to report on a selected event (18), and thus becomes a reporter (56). Multiple network users (2-5) may then subscribe with the server (6) to receive the reports submitted by the reporter (56). Subsequently, the reporter (56) submits a report to the server (6), the server (6) immediately searches to find all subscribers to reports by the reporter, and the report is immediately disseminated to each found subscriber. The subscribers preferably receive the report on cellular/digital phones (5) that allow wireless messaging (7-8). Subscribers may also receive reports at any other location (e.g. PDA (3) or e-mail (4) account) in any format desired.</p> |
