Filed:

Oct 25, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/697024

Inventors:

Bob Lamoureux - Wellesley Hills MA, US
Paul Jaminet - Arlington MA, US
Edward Shea - Canton MA, US
Alexis Kopikis - Brighton MA, US
Matthew Kuntz - Wellesley MA, US

Assignee:

Thomson Financial Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709238, 709204, 705 26

Abstract:

A networked commercial interaction management method assembles information into bundles that include a data element reference and meta data describing the data element. The method distributes the meta data and the data element reference from the bundles through the network, and distributes copies of the data elements in the bundles from the network node of their respective data owners to the network nodes of accessors using the meta data and the data element reference distributed through the network. In at least one embodiment, the method periodically issues bundle version identifying signals to different nodes of the network. The bundle version identifying signals indicate changes to the data elements to the network nodes of accessors.

H04M 15/00

US Classification:

705 34, 705 30

Abstract:

A computer-implemented networked commercial interaction management method distributes information bundles that include values for a plurality of content attribute descriptors and information fields characterizing commercial interactions. The content attribute descriptors include business language definition descriptors that specify the descriptive metadata of each of the information bundles, having at least one keyword having at least one value. The method monitors the distribution, response and manages the commercial interactions between networked users. Based on the keyword and the business language definition descriptors, the method derives traffic statistics based on the distribution and the response from the networked users via a statistics engine.
