Module for the interconnectivity of independent software applications
First Claim
1. A machine-readable medium having embodied thereon a software interconnectivity program, said program being executable by an electronic device to perform method steps for interfacing and interconnecting data between one or more independent software applications, comprising the steps of:
- entering data into a data entry panel of an electronic device;
sending said data to an interconnectivity program module; and
interfacing said data to one or more independent software applications for processing of said data by said applications.
