  • Web site registration proxy system
    Patent number: 6496855
    Abstract: The present invention provides a registration agent site (4) which presents a simple intermediary between sites (3) and internet users (1) that acts a single source of data entry, user name and password for users. This allows users to register with new sites automatically and move between registered sites via a single interface, while allowing changes in profile information via the same interface. The registration agent site (4) acts as the agent for the internet user (1) rather than the site owner, allowing registration by proxy in a manner which is transparent to other sites. The agent negotiates connectivity and connects the user.
