ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for distributing in a retail environment one or more packets of information selected from the group consisting of redeemable coupons, forms, messages, tickets, warnings and written packets to potential recipients of said packets from a receiver-printer-dispenser at a remote location. The steps included in such a system are: (1) developing a receiver directory containing unique identification information for each of said potential receiver-printer-dispenser within a store or retail environment; (2) creating a packet to be dispatched to at least one of said RPD; (3) identifying the potential RPD's for a particular packet; (4) transmitting said packet through a pager network to all of said potential RPD's; (5) receiving, storing and selectively processing and printing only those packets intended to be processed and printed by said appliance; and (6) detecting whether said printed packet has been removed, and printing another copy of said packet in the event the printed packet has been removed. A variety of audio and visual display components and motion sensors are also provided to enhance the appeal of the RPD's and encourage consumers to accept the printed packet.
