Abstract

A distribution and acquisiton system is disclosed for providing incentive information via a medium. The system includes a receiver for accessing the incentive information on the medium and a processor for selecting and releasing portions of the incentive information upon the occurrence of the event that determinants, present in the processor, are addressed. The processor selects portions of the incentive information in response to the addressing of determinant. An input device, connected to the processor, is used for inputting response information necessary to address the determinants. The input device is also used for inputting selection information into the processor. An output device is connected to the processor for generating an output corresponding to the portions of the incentive information selected by the processor. In one embodiment a transmitter, such as a radio transmitter, is connected to a network and is used to receive the incentive information. In another embodiment, a second processor is located remote from the first processor but connected in some fashion. In such an embodiment, the second processor receives the response information and generates a structured output reflective of the response information. It is especially preferred for the present invention to provide an output, such as a coupon, which is redeemable for some benefit.
