Filed:

Jan 25, 2001
Appl. No.:

09/768272

Assignee:

Juno Online Services, Inc. - Westlake Village CA
International Classification:

G06F 15173
US Classification:

709225, 709229, 709203, 709217
Abstract:

A method and apparatus to control a client in a communication network accessed by the client through a service provider independent of a client controller. A hardware capable Internet Service Provider (ISP) functions as the communications network service provider. A virtual ISP operates the client controller, leases Internet access time from the hardware capable ISP, and resells Internet services to users. A client accesses the network through a two stage authentication process. First, the hardware capable ISP authenticates the client using a user-provided ID and password. After successfully logging on to the hardware capable ISP, the client automatically sends a start session message containing user identity information to the client controller. In response, the client controller sends a control message to the client authorizing use of the network for a predetermined time period. When the client stops accessing the network, the client informs the client controller using an end session message.

International Classification:

G06F017/60
US Classification:

705/008000
Abstract:

A healthcare solution system includes electronic appointment scheduling, medical inquiry session customization, patient response message customization, and broadcast messaging. The appointment scheduling allows patients to use a single front end user interface to communicate with plural medical providers who have disparate backend appointment systems, or no appointment system. The medical inquiry session customization allows medical providers to individually tailor queries and response options related to electronically solicited medical inquiries, such as an electronically requested patient history. The patient response message customization allows the provider to individually tailor responses to patient e-mail inquiries generated within the healthcare solution system. Broadcast messaging allows medical providers to target medical-related information to specific patients who may benefit from the message without compromising the confidentiality of the patients.

International Classification:

G06F 1130
H04L 900
US Classification:

713201
Abstract:

A method and apparatus to determine user identity and limit access to a communications network. A first message containing user identity information is received from a client computer in accordance with a first protocol. A first network address is determined from the first message. A second message containing an information request is also received from the client in accordance with a second protocol, and a second network address is determined from the second message. The requesting user identity is then determined based on the first network address, the user identity information and the second network address. Based on the requesting user identity, it can be decided whether to grant the information request. If access is granted, the requested information is retrieved using the communications network.
