Abstract: A secure network resource access system facilitates network access by network terminals to network resources located behind an enterprise firewall, and comprises a proxy server and a polling server. The proxy server is located logically outside the enterprise firewall for receiving application data from the network terminals. The polling server is located logically behind the enterprise firewall, and is configured to poll the proxy server to initiate transmission of the received application data from the proxy server to the polling server, to receive application data and associated network resource data from the proxy server in response to the poll, and to direct the application data to one of the network resources in accordance with the associated network resource data.

Abstract: A method and corresponding system for coordinating submission of network resource data across a first network to a network resource located on a second network, the second network being coupled to the first network by a firewall such that the second network has a higher level of trust than that of the first network, the method comprising the steps of: receiving and storing in a storage the network resource data submitted by a network terminal coupled to the first network, the network resource data containing a network resource identifier for associating the network resource data with the network resource; receiving and storing in the storage control data associated with the network resource data, the control data for coordinating one or more actions on the network resource data; receiving a first poll message initiated through the firewall by a polling server located on the second network, the first poll message requesting stored network resource data containing the network resource identifier and forwarding

Abstract: A method and corresponding system for providing access to network resources, the system comprising: a resource registry including resource records associated with each of the network resources, at least one of the resource records identifies a physical location of the associated network resource; and an administration server for responding to a query containing criteria wherein at least one of the criteria is geographical coordinates, the administration server is configured to access the resource registry to obtain a list of one or more nearest network resources to the geographical coordinates based on the respective physical location of the network resources, and to transmit the list of nearest network resources in response to the query.

Abstract: A network resource control system allows network terminals to communicate with network resources, and includes a resource registry, an authorization server and an administration server. The resource registry includes resource records which are associated with the network resources and define at least a user access level for each network resource. The authorization server is in communication with the resource registry and controls network access to the network resources in accordance with the resource records. The administration server is in communication with the resource registry and provides controlled access to the resource records. The administration server receives user access control data from administrators of the network resources for incorporation into the resource records. Depending upon the user access control data received, the authorization server configures the network terminals for communication with the network resources.

Abstract: A network resource communication system facilitates communication over a network between network terminals and network resources, and comprises a network resource driver, a driver administrator, and a data transmitter. The network resource driver facilitates communication of source data between the network terminals and one of the network resources, and includes a driver input for receiving the source data and a driver output for providing a translation of the source data in accordance with the network resource. The driver administrator is in communication with a resource registry, and includes resource records associated with the network resources. The resource records define at least a resource type for each network resource, and the driver administrator is configured to configure the network resource driver in accordance with the resource record associated with the network resource. The data transmitter is in communication with the driver output for transmitting the translated data to the network resource.
