Abstract

See full text

A system and method for providing current information to authorized individuals or entities. The present invention contemplates an originating individual providing an initial electronic version of the originating individual's information (e.g., work address, work telephone number, etc.) to a receiving party. This can be done, for example, by data link between respective electronic data devices, such as personal digital assistants. The originating individual's information is also stored at a accessible site, such as a server on a data network. Changes to the originating individual's information are stored at the accessible site. Thereafter, the receiving party periodically accesses the accessible site to obtain a current version of the originating individual's information. A security mechanism may be provided so that the originating individual can control dissemination of his information.
