Abstract:

A remote client manager that facilitates an extendible, modular application server system distributed via an electronic data network, that includes: a network client, a remote client facility and a lease manager. The network client is configured to access the application server system via the electronic data network and to download and execute an interface facility (JAVA applet, etc.). The interface facility is configured to facilitate the delivery of an application facility from the application server system. The remote client facility is configured to register the network client, the interface facility, and the application facility, to receive an application request from the interface facility via the electronic data network related to the application facility, and to reference the network client to the application facility to facilitate the delivery of the application facility to the network client. And, the lease manager is configured to create a lease (e.g., a network object, database entry, etc.) corresponding to the reference and to terminate the lease when a time interval related to the lease expires.

Abstract:

An extendible, modular application server distributed via an electronic data network (e.g., the Internet and World Wide Web, a local area network, etc.) that includes a remote client facility, at least one business function facility, at least one remote network facility, and at least one facility manager. The remote client facility is configured to receive a request via the electronic data network from a network client, to register the network client, to locate a first network facility residing on the electronic data network based on the request and reference the client to the first network facility in order to initiate a distributed application. Said at least one business function facility resides on the electronic data network and is configured to access and control a second network facility corresponding to the first network facility in order to perform a business function. Said at least one remote network facility resides on the electronic data network and is configured to be accessed and controlled by at least one business function facility in order to facilitate the aforementioned business function. Said at least one remote network facility includes the second network facility corresponding to the first network facility. The facility manager is configured to track, manage and maintain the remote client facility, said at least one business function facility and at least one remote network facility, to locate, load and execute in memory the first network facility and the second network facility to complete delivery of the application to the network client via the electronic data network.

Abstract:

System and method for validating a call within a telecommunications network that is vendor-independent. The system and method include a messaging facility, a validation database, and a validation facility. The messaging facility is connected to the telecommunications network, and configured to message to and receive messages from a telecommunication device (e.g., router, IRVU, etc.) related to the call being placed within the telecommunications network and to receive a validation request related to the call from said telecommunications device, the validation request being in a first format. The validation database is configured to maintain data relating to validating authorities (e.g., CYBERCASH, CYBERSOURCE, etc.) and the validating authorities' messaging format requirements (e.g., request content, protocol, format, etc.). The validation facility is coupled to the messaging facility and to the validation database, and is configured to receive a validation request from the messaging facility, to identify a validating authority related to the request, to access the validation database to convert the request from the first format to the related validating authority's messaging format as a second format based on data stored in the validation database corresponding to the related validating authority, to contact the related validating authority to request validation from the related validating authority in the second format, to receive a response from said related validating authority in the second format, to convert the response from the second format to the first format, and to send the response in the first format to the messaging device to be messaged to the telecommunications device in order to validate said call.
