International Classification:

H04L 900
US Classification:

713201, 709223, 709228, 709246, 370466
Abstract:

A system and method which allows the interchange of Cookie information and standard Common Gateway Interface (CGI) variables between a user system and an On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) enterprise server. The present invention also discloses a specialized form of a transaction gateway, known as a security gateway, which runs on a Windows NT or UnixWare Web Server machine, and is built as a client application to interoperate with an enterprise-based OLTP security service. Finally, the present invention discloses an enterprise-based OLTP security service, which is used in conjunction with the security gateway described above, which processes user generated authentication requests, and if successful, calls an end service requested by a user.

US Patent:

6721776, Apr 13, 2004
Filed:

May 12, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/310717
Inventors:

Joey L. Erickson - New Brighton MN
Scott L. Rappa - White Bear Lake MN
Daniel P. Starkovich - Brooklyn Park MN
Assignee:

Unisys Corporation - Blue Bell PA
International Classification:

G06F 944
US Classification:

709101, 709316, 709203, 717102
Abstract:

A generic server and gateway that run within a Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) environment capable of receiving requests from one or more different types of DCOM clients for service by an On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) style application running on an enterprise server. The services on the OLTP system are designed to accomplish a specific task, for example, update a users bank account balance following a debit or credit. In a preferred embodiment, the OLTP system is X/Open compliant. The DCOM Client can be any type of client, including a Visual Basic client, C++ client, or a Web Browser with Active Server Pages (ASP). The generic server and generic gateway are vendor supplied components which tend to insulate the client developer from the details of the communication protocol with the OLTP system.

Joey L. Erickson - New Brighton MN, US
Assignee:

Unisys Corporation - Blue Bell PA
International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 15/173
G06F 15/00
US Classification:

709228, 709223, 709224, 715522, 715523, 715524
Abstract:

An apparatus for and method of processing service requests presented as XML messages an-d having a number of formats within a single generic gateway. The service requests are received by the server and routed to the appropriate one of a number of adapters. Each of the adapters convert service requests to a standardized format for input to the single generic gateway. The output of the single generic gateway is coupled through a corresponding one of a number of connectors to the end service provider for honoring. The response is transferred from the service provider to the appropriate connector to be formatted for the common generic gateway. The response is converted by the original adapter to an XML message for transfer back to the requester via the Internet.

US Patent:

7111077, Sep 19, 2006
Filed:

Dec 22, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/748617
Inventors:

Daniel P. Starkovich - Brooklyn Park MN, US
Scott L. Rappa - White Bear Lake MN, US
Joey L. Erickson - New Brighton MN, US
Assignee:

Unisys Corporation - Blue Bell PA
International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 3/00
G06F 13/00
US Classification:

709246, 709203, 718101, 719316
Abstract:

An apparatus for and method of processing service requests provided by a user at a standard Internet work station. The service requests are received by the server and routed to a gateway. The gateway has the capability to convert the service request to a format acceptable by an enterprise server without the need of a view buffer. Thus, the conversion does not require a priori notification concerning the data formats employed. The output of the gateway is coupled through a corresponding one of a number of connectors to the end service provider for honoring. The response is transferred from the service provider to the appropriate connector to be formatted for the requesting gateway. The response is converted by the original adapter to an HTML or XML message for transfer back to the requester via the Internet.

US Patent:

6212546, Apr 3, 2001
Filed:

Oct 1, 1998
Appl. No.:

9/164933
Inventors:

Daniel P. Starkovich - Brooklyn Park MN
Robert J. Gambrel - Spring Lake Park MN
Assignee:

Unisys Corporation - Blue Bell PA
International Classification:

G06F 1516
US Classification:

709203
Abstract:

Method and apparatus for a new interface architecture which reduces the number of software components required to interface a variety of requester types coupled to a server with a variety of communications programs coupled to an on-line transaction processing system. The new interface architecture isolate attributes of the requesters and the communication programs into individual software components so that all software code associated with each requester type is included within a corresponding requester software module, and all software code associated with each communications program is included within a corresponding communications software module. Each new requester type added requires the addition of only one requester software module, and each new communications program added requires the addition of only one communications software module, thus reducing the overall number of software modules required to interface the variety of requester types to the variety of communications programs.
