FIELD: physics; communications.
SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to data transfer networks, and particularly to methods and a device for presenting information gifts on data transfer networks. This outcome can be achieved using the proposed method of operation of the server which allows the first terminal to send the second terminal an information gift. The first and second terminals selectively interact with the server. The method involves a stage, on which a request is received from the first terminal for a catalogue, which identifies the information content compatible with the second terminal. The method also involves formation of the catalogue and transfer of the catalogue to the first terminal. The method also involves stages, on which a request is received from the first terminal on a gift, and in which an information gift is requested from the second terminal, chosen from the identified information content in the catalogue. Later, it can be automatically determined if the second terminal does not already have the chosen gift, and the gift is then sent to the second terminal.
EFFECT: solving the problem of incompatibility of devices and the transferred information, as well as the problem of repeated reception of information.
