Network method system and apparatus for recording and maintaining records
First Claim
1. A method for keeping a permanent, undeleteable record using a network comprising:
- (a) establishing a client system;
(b) establishing a server system;
(c) establishing a back-up system;
(d) connecting said client system, said server system, and said back-up system;
(e) under the control of said client system, displaying a record form, and in response to data entered on said client system, completing data fields in said record form and sending said completed record form to said server system with a unique client identifier;
(f) under the control of said server system, receiving said record with said data and said unique client identifier, and storing said record in a segregated database keyed to said client identifier whereby once said record is stored using said identifier said record cannot hereafter be deleted;
(g) under the control of said back-up system, receiving said completed record form permanently stored in said server system, and making a permanent back-up so that a back-up of said segregated database is made, whereby said client system, said server system, said back-up system, and said means for connection are used to make and store an undeleteable permanent record in said server system that is accessible to said client system and backed up in said back-up system.

Abstract
A computerized record keeping system and method using a network to keep records that cannot be erased by a user thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of records kept with the system. A client computer system contacts, through a computer network, a server system which stores a client database accessible by a password. The client system can review, search, and add records to the database. The client database on the server system is automatically backed-up to avoid inadvertent loss of records or data. Once a record is entered into the server system through the client system, it is permanently stored in the server system as a part of the client database. While a client system may enter a modified record, the original record is always maintained and displayed with the now modified record.

8. A computerized record keeping system comprising:
-
(a) a client computer having a display, a keyboard for data entry, a network connection, and software enabling said client computer to connect to said network connection;
(b) a server computer with a network connection and record keeping software;
(c) back-up data storage computer having a network connection;
(d) means for making a record on said client computer and sending said record on said network connection to said server computer, said record keyed to a unique client identifier;
(e) means for receiving a client system generated record in said server and storing and organizing said client system generated record with record keeping software in said server computer whereby once a client system generated record is recorded and stored in said server system, it is thereafter undeleteable by said client system;
(f) means for making a back-up copy of said client generated record in said back-up data storage computer. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

14. A computerized record keeping system to insure compliance with Federal Aviation Administration regulations and to assure accuracy of records kept comprising:
-
(a) a client computer having a display, means for data entry, means for connection to a network, and software using said means for network connection to connect a remote server computer;
(b) said remote server computer with means for network connection to said client computer and said client computer software, and with record keeping software for Federal Aviation Administration records to record compliance with regulations;
(c) said record keeping software with means for providing automatic warnings of non-compliance with Federal Aviation Administration regulations to said client computer;
(d) said record keeping software in said remote server computer with means for storing records to record compliance with Federal Aviation Administration regulations so that a record once stored is thereby undeleteable by using said client computer;
(e) said record keeping software accessible to a client computer only through use of a unique client identifier whereby said client computer, said remote server computer, and said record keeping software can be used to make and store undeleteable permanent record in said server computer of records that assure compliance with Federal Aviation Administration records.
