Claim 24:
25. A computer device comprising:
a computer memory; and
a computer, the computer being programmed by computer executable instructions to execute a method of querying segmented data stored in computer memory, the method comprising:
accessing the segmented data in the form of a plurality of bitmaps associated with respective segments, wherein each bitmap comprises a plurality of bits, each bit having a bit position in a bit sequence corresponding to a sequence of entity identifiers, the state of each bit indicating whether the entity identifier representing that position in the sequence identifies an entity belonging in the segment or not, each entity identifier indicating one of a computer device configured to receive a digital product from a server and a user associated with such a configured computer device;
combining first and second bitmaps selected from the plurality of bitmaps to create a third bitmap, the first and second bitmaps associated with first and second segments, each segment accommodating entities sharing a single binary characteristic;
using the third bitmap to determine the results of a query relating to entities sharing a first single binary characteristic of the first segment and a second single binary characteristic of the second segment; and
responding to the request with a response to the query, the response indicating from the results one or more entity to receive a particular digital product from the server, the digital product being one or computer code and a digital item.
