Autonomous network service configuration

A network system for efficiently providing a service to a client, the network system comprising the following:

• a client that submits a request for service to a service provider;
• a service provider that provides the requested service to the client, the service provider comprising the following:
• a primary logic component that manages access to a current data source that stores current data of the service provider;
• a client interactive logic component that performs the following:
• a) interacts with the client,
• b) stores reference data that is based on the current data as the current data previously existed,
• c) stores single user writable data that include data extracted from interactions with the client,
• d) formulates formal requests using the reference data and the single user writable data, and
• e) transmits the formal request to the primary logic component, wherein the primary logic component validates the accuracy of the information within the formal request, the primary logic component not trusting the accuracy of the information within the formal request.

In a network having a service provider configuration and a plurality of client computer systems, the server provider including a primary logic component that manages access to current data, the service provider also including at least one client interactive logic component that interacts with at least one of the client computer systems, a method of the client interactive logic component interfacing with the client computer system and with the primary logic component in a manner that allows the primary logic component to be autonomous from the client interactive device thereby allowing for more flexible connection options between the client interactive device and the primary logic component, the method comprising the following:

• a specific act of maintaining reference data that is based on the current data as the current data existed at a previous instant in time;
• a step for generating formal request based on interactions with the client computer system and based on the reference data, the formal request being according to the format recognized by the primary logic component;
• and
• a specific act of submitting the formal request to the primary logic component for validation of the accuracy of the information within the formal request, the primary logic component not trusting the accuracy of information provided by the client interactive logic component.
