Abstract
Abstract A system and method for automatically generating content for distribution via a network channel includes and involves a channel service provider that has a first automatic data processing system that includes a data storage sub-system for storing a network document and a first processor that is operative to specify a section of the network document to be broadcast via the network channel and to automatically scan the network document to extract and store the section of the network document in a network addressable resource within the data storage sub-system. The system and method also includes and involves a second automatic data processing system which is coupled to the channel service provider and which includes a content manifestation device and a second processor that is operative to access the network addressable resource to retrieve the section of the network document and to cause the content manifestation device to manifest the section of the network document.
