Abstract: The innovation includes systems and methods of facilitating electronic commerce (e-commerce) via a proxy service. Such a method can include the acts of receiving a hypertext transfer protocol with secure socket layer (HTTPS) request from a client application and translating the HTTPS request to a format appropriate for an e-commerce web application. Additionally, such a method can include the steps of sending the translated request to the e-commerce web application via HTTPS and receiving a response based at least in part on the translated HTTPS request. The method can also include the acts of translating the HTTPS response to a format appropriate for the client application and sending the translated response to the client application via HTTPS. Secure information can be encrypted and stored at the client application separately from the encryption key, which can be stored by the proxy service.

Abstract: A computer system bridges information between first and second websites. The first website is a central e-commerce website. The second website can be a social, commercial, or public service website. Product information is created on the first website. The product information may be a product catalog. Bridging code is created which relates to the product information. The bridging code is installed on the second website. The bridging code is embedded in computer executable code controlling the second website. The bridging code is utilized to establish a communication link between the first and second websites. The product information is updated on the first website. The product information from the first website is updated onto the second website. The product information is displayed on the second website. The system processes a purchase transaction based on the product information as displayed on the second website.

Abstract: A computer system exchanges information between a central website and a plurality of electronic communication devices. Information is created on the central website. The information can be business reports, product information, or public service announcement. Bridging code is created which relates to the information. The bridging code is installed on the electronic communication devices. The central website maintains a list of the electronic communication devices, which include a commercial website, professional website, personal computer, and person communication device. The bridging code is embedded in computer executable code controlling each of the electronic communication devices. The bridging code is utilized to establish a communication link between the central website and each of the electronic communication devices. The information from the central website is automatically published asynchronously onto the electronic communication devices.
