  • Patent number: 6374299
    Abstract: A data processing architecture provides a common grouping of code that supports a diverse set of services and allows substantially seamless access to these services by subscribers. The architecture is supported by several interrelated components. A framework mechanism provides conforming dynamically linked libraries specific to a given service. System operation is enhanced by a routing mechanism that allocates service loading in accordance with demand and availability. Because a common code framework characterizes much of the complex communication coding, developers seeking to implement new services can concentrate on creating service functionality and rely on the framework mechanism for communication and navigation support.

  • Patent number: 6047324
    Abstract: A data processing architecture provides a common grouping of code that supports a diverse set of services and allows seamless access to these services by clients. The architecture is supported by several interrelated components. A Framework executable provides conforming DLLs specific to that service. System operation is enhanced by a Router that allocates service loading in accordance with demand and availability. Because a common code framework characterizes much of the complex communication coding, developers seeking to implement new services can concentrate on creating service functionality and rely on the Framework for this communication and navigation support.
