Filtered peer-to-peer business communication in a distributed computer environment
First Claim
1. A system of matching an offer and a request, the system comprising:
- a computer system accessing offers associated with one or more offerors and requests associated with one or more requestors, the computer system configured to;
select one or more offers comprising meta-data;
select one or more requests comprising meta-data;
match without additional user input, the one or more offers with the one or more requests by using one or more filter components comprising a detail component, the detail component comprising total minimum size of the request, bandwidth requirements of the request, and platform specific tags;
replicate a portion of the matching offer and the matching request; and
communicate the replicated portion of the matching offer and the matching request to at least one of the one or more offerors associated with the matching offer and at least one of the one or more requestors associated with the matching request.

Abstract
A method for filtered peer-to-peer business communication in a distributed computer environment includes accessing offers associated with one or more offerors and requests associated with one or more requestors, each offer and each request including a set of filter components. Filter components of offers are compared with corresponding filter components of requests to determine whether one or more offers match one or more requests. A match is determined between an offer and a request if the filter components of the offer match the corresponding filter components of the request. In response, at least a matching portion of the offer and request is replicated and communicated to both the offeror associated with the offer and the requestor associated with the request to provide filtered peer-to-peer communication between the offeror and requestor.

6. A system of communication using a communication protocol, the system comprising:
-
a computer system accessing offers associated with one or more offerors and requests associated with one or more requestors, the computer system configured to; provide one or more filter components coupled with the computer system; provide access to the computer system to a plurality of user computers; receive information comprising meta-data comprising one or more filter components from a first user computer of the plurality of user computers; receive information comprising meta-data comprising one or more filter components from a second user computer of the plurality of user computers; and communicate between the first user computer and the second user computer using the computer system by; matching, without additional user input, the first user computer with the second user computer using at least one of the plurality of filter components comprising a detail component, the detail component comprising total minimum size of the request, bandwidth requirements of the request, and platform specific tags; replicating a portion of the matching detail components; and communicating the replicated portion of the matching detail component to the first user computer and the second user computer. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A system for filtered peer-to-peer business communication in a distributed computer environment, comprising:
-
a computer system accessing offers associated with one or more offerors and requests associated with one or more requestors, each offer and each request comprising two or more filter components; and a bandwidth gate coupled with the computer system for comparing detail components of the one or more offers with a detail component of a request to determine whether the detail components of the offers match the detail component of the request, wherein the computer system is configured to determine a match between an offer and the request based on whether the filter components of the offer match the corresponding filter components of the request, replicate a portion of the matching offer and the matching request, and communicate the replicated portion of the matching offer and the matching request to at least one of the one or more offerors associated with the matching offer and at least one of the one or more requestors associated with the matching request; and a user interface associated with an offeror or requestor, the user interface when associated with an offeror displaying content determined according to settings in offers from the offeror and filtering component data of matching requests received by the offeror, the user interface when associated with a requestor displaying content determined according to settings in requests from the requestor and filtering component data of matching offers received by the requestor. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
