Platform System

Abstract

In the case of a web-based platform apparatus for collecting and editing information, which platform apparatus can be networked to a plurality of subscribers that can be identified by means of a tag, new editing options and information assessments are rendered possible in that the information on the platform is formed by a plurality of dual units, wherein a dual unit respectively comprises a memory location, associated with a prescribeable topic and provided with an identifier, and also a prescribeable criterion, associated with the memory location and in the form of an information filter, for input of a piece of information into the memory location.

1 . A web-based platform apparatus for collecting and editing information, which platform apparatus can be networked to a plurality of subscribers that can be identified by means of an identifier, wherein the information on the platform is formed by a plurality of dual units (DuUs), wherein a dual unit (DuU) respectively comprises a memory location, associated with a prescribeable topic and provided with an identifier, and also a prescribeable criterion, associated with the memory location and in the form of an information filter, for input of a piece of information into the memory location, characterized in that an information filter is designed to register information introduced by identified subscribers pertaining to a first topic in the memory location and to store the identifiers associated with the identified subscribers in a memory unit in order to send a transmission (DuU-feed) to the identifiers of the identified subscribers when a further piece of information pertaining to the first topic in the memory location is input by a further identified subscriber having a different identifier than the identified subscribers, wherein the identifiers of the identified subscribers are suitable for forming predetermined subgroups of subscribers in order to provide subscriber filters that use the identifiers, in order to send merely specified transmissions (DuU-feeds) to subscribers in one or more predetermined subgroups, wherein the criteria provided for the formation of subgroups of subscribers are age, sex, web activities, regional origin, etc., of the individual subscribers, and wherein a transmission (DuU-feed) is sent to the identifier of an identified subscriber by means of a transmission device activated by the input of the further information pertaining to the first topic for the purpose of providing an information link. 
     
     
         2 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that an information filter is implemented in the form of an electronic filter, which identifies editing topics and editing criteria on the basis of headwords and headword clusters. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that a transmission contains the content of the further information introduced by a further subscriber. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that an information filter is designed to send a transmission (DuU-feed) to the identifier of the identified subscriber when a piece of information pertaining to a second topic, which is different than the first topic in a predefined manner, in the memory location is input by a further subscriber having a different identifier than the identified subscribers. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 4 , characterized in that the transmission contains the content of the information introduced by the further subscriber pertaining to the second topic. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 5 , characterized in that a transmission (DuU-feed) is sent to the identifier of the identified subscribers by means of a transmission device activated by the input of the information pertaining to the second topic for the purpose of providing an information link. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that for each subscriber it is possible to set up access to the dual units in order to allow any subscriber to edit any topic in light of the information filter associated with the topic. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 7 , characterized in that a dual unit can be split to form two or more dual units by one of the subscribers by allocating at least one further information filter to a first topic. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 8 , characterized in that a dual unit can be split by one of the subscribers to form two or more dual units by allocating at least one further topic to a first information filter. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus as claimed in  claim 9  characterized in that any of the subscribers is capable of initial placement of a dual unit.
