Filed:

Sep 13, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/661222

Inventors:

John K. Overton - Chicago IL, US
Stephen W. Bailey - Chicago IL, US

Assignee:

Econnectix, LLC - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709217, 709219, 707 10

Abstract:

A network distributed tracking wire transfer protocol for storing and retrieving data across a distributed data collection. The protocol includes a location string for specifying the network location of data associated with an entity in the distributed data collection, and an identification string for specifying the identity of an entity in the distributed data collection. According to the protocol, the length of the location string and the length of the identification string are variable, and an association between an identification string and a location string can be spontaneously and dynamically changed. The network distributed tracking wire transfer protocol is application independent, organizationally independent, and geographically independent. A method for using the protocol in a distributed data collection environment and a system for implementing the protocol are also provided.

Appl. No.:

09/872736

Inventors:

John K. Overton - Chicago IL, US
Stephen W. Bailey - Andover MA, US

Assignee:

Econnectix, LLC - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709217, 709226, 709232

Abstract:

A system and method for storing and retrieving location information across a network is disclosed. The system and method utilize a transfer protocol configured to transport an identifier/location relationship to allow one or more locations to be associated with an identifier in the location store of a location server, where the identifier represents a unique entity and the location represents a location of data pertaining to the identifier. The location server contains programming logic operative to provide responses to location queries and capable of scaling a plurality of location servers according to system performance and logistical requirements.
