Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
172 words
A data transmitting method in a system in which data inputted from an information terminal unit is transmitted through a server having a database, the method comprising the steps of: inputting data by the information terminal unit, the inputted data constituting a data record; arbitrarily designating specific data in the data record by a user through the information terminal unit; appending destination address data to the designated specific data in the data record by a user through the information terminal unit, the destination address data being an address to which the server transfers the designated specific data; transmitting the data record including the designated specific data with the destination address appended to the server by the information terminal unit; storing the transmitted data record into the database, by the server; automatically extracting the specific data with the destination address appended in the data record from the database by the server, using the destination address as a key for retrieval; transmitting the extracted specific data to the appended destination address by the server.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
145 words
A data transmitting system in which data inputted from an information terminal unit is transmitted through a server having a database, the system comprising: the information terminal unit comprising; means for inputting data, the inputted data constituting a data record; means for arbitrarily designating specific data in the data record; means for appending destination address information to the designated specific data in the data record, the destination address data being an address to which the server transfers the designated specific data; and means for transmitting the data record including the designated specific data with the destination address appended to the server; and the server comprising: means for storing the transmitted data record in the database; means for automatically extracting the specific data using the destination address as a key for retrieval; and transmitting means for transmitting the extracted specific data to the appended destination address.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
145 words
A data transmitting system in which data inputted from an information terminal unit is transmitted through a server having a database, the system comprising: the information terminal unit comprising; means for inputting data, the inputted data constituting a data record; means for arbitrarily designating specific data in the data record; means for appending destination address information to the designated specific data in the data record, the destination address data being an address to which the server transfers the designated specific data; and means for transmitting the data record including the designated specific data with the destination address appended to the server; and the server comprising: means for storing the transmitted data record in the database; means for automatically extracting the specific data using the destination address as a key for retrieval; and transmitting means for transmitting the extracted specific data to the appended destination address.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
