Claims20
A method for managing network-based access to computer data preferences comprising:
- associating a first data preference with a user, the first data preference comprising at least one electronic data file executing in a first communications network;
- associating a second data preference with the user, the second data preference comprising at least one electronic data file executing in a second communications network;
- determining a first access address of the first data preference;
- determining a second access address of the second data preference;
- and
- providing access to the first access address via a first link on a portal accessible through a business communications gateway;
- providing access to the second access address via a second link on the portal accessible through the business communications gateway,
- wherein a Business Application Programming Interface in communication with the business communications gateway associates the user with the first data preference and with the second data preference.
A storage medium on which is encoded instructions for managing network-based access to personalized data preferences, including instructions for performing the steps of:
- associating a first data preference with a user, the first data preference comprising at least one electronic data file executing in a first communications network;
- associating a second data preference with the user, the second data preference comprising at least one electronic data file executing in a second communications network;
- determining a first access address of the first data preference;
- determining a second access address of the second data preference;
- and
- providing access to the first access address via a first link on a portal accessible through a business communications gateway;
- providing access to the second access address via a second link on the portal,
- wherein a Business Application Programming Interface in communication with the business communications gateway associates the user with the first data preference and with the second data preference.
A system for managing network-based access to computer data preferences comprising:
- a business communications gateway in communication with a first communications network and a second communications network, wherein the first communications network comprises a business communications network of at least one registered communications device and the second communications network comprises a third party communications network;
- a portal communicating with the at least one registered communications device, wherein the portal comprises:
- a first link to a first data preference available on the first communications network, and
- a second link to a second data preference available on the second communications network;
- and
- a Business Application Programming Interface in communication with the business communications gateway, the Business Application Programming Interface managing access to the first data preference and the second data preference.
