Patent number: 9674269Abstract: A system makes it possible to use services offered by a plurality of servers different from one another is realized with the use of a common API. The system includes a plurality of service-offering servers, a client that uses services offered by the plurality of service-offering servers, and an interchange server that performs intermediary processing when the client uses a service. The client performs communication with the interchange server while using a common API when using any service among a plurality of services offered by the plurality of service-offering servers. The interchange server uses a unique API, which is unique to the service-offering server that offers the service selected by the client, to execute a processing sequence that is unique to the service-offering server.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiroki Takakura, Anna Gershnik, Brian Beaver, Charles McCoy

Patent number: 9112868Abstract: A system provides access to services from different servers via a common API. The system includes service-offering servers, a client that uses services offered by the service-offering servers, and an interchange server that acts as an intermediary when the client uses a service. The client communicates with the interchange server using a common API when the client uses service from the service-offering servers. The interchange server uses a unique API, which is unique to the service-offering server that offers the service being used by the client, to execute a processing sequence that is unique to the service-offering server. Thus client is able to use services offered by the service-offering servers with the use of a common API and without any need to use a different unique API for each service-offering server.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2014Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignees: SONY CORPORATION, SONY ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Hiroki Takakura, Anna Gershnik, Brian Beaver, Charles McCoy

Patent number: 8682963Abstract: A system uses services offered by a plurality of servers different from one another via a common API. The system includes a plurality of service-offering servers, a client that uses services offered by the service-offering servers, and an interchange server that intermediates when the client uses a service. The client communicates with the interchange server using a common API when using a service. The interchange server uses a unique API, unique to the service-offering server offering the service, to execute a process that is unique to the service-offering server. The client may use any service with the use of a common API without any need to use a unique API.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2009Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignees: Sony Corporation, Sony Electronics Inc.Inventors: Hiroki Takakura, Anna Gershnik, Brian Beaver, Charles Mccoy
