Abstract
A communication protocol and system is disclosed for network communications between a data service residing on a client that provides network communications between one or more mobile applications on a source and a network based on a process number. The shared data service communicates with a data service plug-in on the server side associated with the process number, in order to handle requests from the mobile applications that access the network through the data service. Predetermined network connection, priority, and additional rules can be used to control what plug-in can be reached through what type of network connection.
Claims30
A system comprising:
- a server connected to a computing device via a specific connection path on a network;
- a plug-in residing on the server, the plug-in associated with a process number;
- data files on the server associated with a business process being requested from the server, the data files configured for synchronizing the plug-in on the specific connection path to an application on the computing device;
- wherein the process number identifies the requested business process;
- and
- wherein the process number is identified in a request for the server to perform the business process, the request initiating data communication and the network assigning the request to the server having the plug-in that is associated with the process number.

A system, comprising:
- a server on a network;
- a plug-in residing on the server, wherein the plug-in is associated with a process number, wherein the plug-in manages data communication over the network between a plurality of applications and the plug-in, wherein the process number identifies a business process requested by a client, wherein the process number is identified in a request received from any application from amongst the plurality of applications, wherein the request is for initiating the data communication and the network assigns the request to a server comprising the plug-in associated with the process number;
- and
- a database of predetermined rules for establishing network communications between the applications and the plug-in, the predetermined rules comprising at least one of (i) a set of data on the properties corresponding to computing devices processing the plurality of applications that are permitted to use the plug-in within the network and (ii) a set of data on the priorities corresponding to the computing devices and associated permissions to use the plug-in is to follow when establishing network communication.
