Abstract
A method associated with the exchange of information over a network may include receiving a request for information from a first entity, identifying a second entity based on the request and receiving information from the first entity defining data or a type of data to be provided by the second entity. The method may also include modifying the request to a format compatible with the second entity and forwarding the modified request to the second entity. The method may further include receiving data from the second entity in response to the modified request, modifying the data from the second entity and forwarding the modified data to the first entity.
Claims22
A system, comprising:
- a data exchange platform configured to facilitate communications between a first entity and a second entity, the data exchange platform comprising:
- a memory configured to store information regarding the first and second entities, and
- logic configured to:
- receive a communication from the first entity,
- identify, based on the communication and the information stored in the memory, at least the second entity,
- receive first information from the first entity defining parameters associated with a data exchange between the first and second entities,
- forward a request to the second entity, the request being based on the first information,
- receive, from the second entity and in response to the request, data for the data exchange, and
- forward the data to the first entity.
A method comprising:
- storing information in a memory, the information identifying a plurality of entities and data exchange information associated with exchanging information between the plurality of entities;
- receiving a request for information from a first one of the plurality of entities;
- identifying, based on the request and information stored in the memory, at least a second one of the plurality of entities;
- receiving first information from the first entity, the first information defining data or a type of data to be provided by the second entity;
- modifying the request to a format compatible with the second entity based on information stored in the memory;
- forwarding the modified request to the second entity;
- receiving, from the second entity and in response to the modified request, data for the first entity;
- modifying the data received from the second entity based on information stored in the memory;
- and
- forwarding the modified data to the first entity.
A system, comprising:
- means for receiving a communication from a first entity intended for a second entity;
- means for identifying a plurality of entities;
- means for receiving a selection from the first entity corresponding to the second entity;
- means for providing a user interface to the first entity;
- means for receiving first information from the first entity via the user interface, the first information defining data or a type of data to be provided by the second entity;
- means for modifying the request into a format compatible with the second entity;
- means for forwarding the modified request to the second entity;
- means for receiving, from the second entity and in response to the modified request, data intended for the first entity;
- means for modifying the data received from the second entity into a format compatible with the first entity;
- and
- means for forwarding the modified data to the first entity.
