A user is authenticated as being a registered physician before being allowed access to the system. The system provides an interactive on-line detail or marketing presentation of a drug. The interactive detail provides information about a drug in addition to requesting and receiving responses or input from the user participating in the interactive detail. Questions and challenges are presented to the user to reinforce concepts, such as a drug's mechanism of action, that are presented to the user during the detail. Users' responses to interactive details are accumulated and provided to the respective drug companies that sponsor the details. As an incentive, the system provides an honorarium or gift to targeted users upon completion of interactive presentations.

Abstract:

A security system includes an electronic lock and an electronic key. The electronic key holds identification data that notifies the lock of the key's functional type and the locks that the key is authorized to open. In one embodiment, circuitry in the lock checks whether an inserted key holds an access code that is more recent than a corresponding access code stored in the lock, indicating that the data on the inserted key is more current than the data stored in the lock. The lock is then automatically reprogrammed with the data stored in the inserted key.
