US Patent:

58572015, Jan 5, 1999

Filed:

Jun 18, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/665422

Inventors:

Gerald V. Wright - Solana Beach CA
James O'Grady - Del Mar CA

Assignee:

Wright Strategies, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707104

Abstract:

A FormLogic (FL) client/server system and method to access existing enterprise data sources on an occasional basis. The system includes a FL builder program to generate a communications agent that encapsulates a communication session. The session includes one or more related tasks. The system also includes a FL server which is connected to one or more enterprise data sources. The FL server provides the ability to link hardware devices running a FL engine as a client to access existing enterprise data sources on an occasional basis. It is optimized to communicate by exchanging a minimum amount of data, since the wireless transports do not move large amounts of data quickly and data is expensive to move. Each session encompasses connecting the remote host, performing a specific task or set of tasks, then disconnecting from the host. Because the connection times must be short, the client and server need to be able to perform the required tasks without user intervention.
