Communications system

摘要

A communications system including a server and a plurality of user apparatus, and methods of operating each of the same. The server stores user profiles corresponding to users' characteristics. Messages are allocated by matching target profiles with the user profiles. The user provides recipients of a message with an indication of the relative location of the recipient of the message to the sender of the message. Only one copy of the message need be stored by the server. Users can specify folder allocation rules. Data related to the sender of a message is attached with a message and can be varied on a message-by-message basis. A storage medium and a signal with processor-implementable instructions for the methods are also included.
