Abstract

A system for aggregating services for a telecommunication platform is provided. The system includes a data administration server (10) comprising a requests management module (11) a requests analysis module (12). With the system, targeted data (D4) and requests (R) are received from the requests management module (11) and the whole set of data (D4, R) is transmitted to nonrelevant service data provision servers (S1, S2, S3) for which the requests (R) are not intended, the nonrelevant servers (S1, S2, S3) providing additional data in response (D1, D2, D3) which are aggregated by the requests management module (11), the whole set of data (D1, D2, D3, D4) being transmitted thereafter to the telecommunication platform (100) by the requests management module (11). The invention also relates to a method of ordering a good or a service.

Claims

1. A method of ordering a good or a service of a plurality of goods and services associated with navigation and geo-location data in an operations center, the method comprising:

communicating to the operations center personal navigation and geo-location data to which the good or the service to be ordered corresponds;

receiving from the operations center all goods and services offers associated with said personal navigation and geo-location data and forming part of said plurality of goods and services; and

selecting a good or service offer from said goods and services part transmitted by the operations center before ordering.

2. The method according to claim 1, in which:

at least one personal geographical address is communicated to the operations center.

3. The method according to claim 1, in which:

the operations center filters the plurality of goods and services as a function of the personal navigation and geo-location data communicated.

4. The method according to claim 1, in which:

the order is performed gratis for the one making the order, the operations center being paid by the supplier of the good or the service provider.

5. The method according to claim 1, in which:

said goods and services part transmitted by the operations center comprises a description of the good or of the service proposed as well as its geographical location.

6. The method according to claim 1, in which:

the operations center stores a log of the goods and services already ordered.

7. The method according to claim 6, in which:

the operations center filters the plurality of goods and services as a function of the log of the goods and services already ordered.

8. A system for aggregating services for a telecommunication platform comprising:

a data administration server linked to service data provision servers, the servers forming a configuration comprising a center formed by the administration server and branches formed between the administration server and the service data provision servers;

said administration server comprising a requests management module configured to receive requests arising from the telecommunication platform and transmit them to the relevant service data provision server for which the requests are intended, said relevant service data provision server providing targeted data in response to the requests;

said administration server comprising a requests analysis module, receiving the targeted data and the requests from the requests management module and transmitting the whole set of data to nonrelevant service data provision servers for which the requests are not intended,

said nonrelevant servers providing additional data in response which are aggregated by the requests management module, the whole set of data being transmitted thereafter to the telecommunication platform by the requests management module.

9. The system for aggregating services according to claim 8, in which nonrelevant servers are designed to filter the targeted data received and thus to extract the parameters for which nonrelevant servers can provide additional data in response.

10. The system for aggregating services according to claim 8, in which the requests management module are designed to integrate additional data into targeted data in order to enrich targeted data.

11. The system for aggregating services according to claim 8, in which the administration server comprises a driver customization module designed to filter and enhance the transmission of the requests to the servers and thus to propose preferential services thereto.

12. The system for aggregating services according to claim 11, in which the driver customization module comprises a database of preferential parameters.

13. The system for aggregating services according to claim 12, in which the driver customization module extracts the preferential parameters from the requests so as to store them in the database of preferential parameters.

14. The system for aggregating services according to claim 8, in which the administration server comprises an identification module making it possible to control access to the various service provision servers.

15. The system for aggregating services according to claim 14, in which the identification module comprises a billing module making it possible to control the billing of the various service provision servers.

16. The system for aggregating services according to claim 15, in which the billing module is hooked up with a participation service provision server designed to bear the cost of access to a service provision server.

17. The system for aggregating services according to claim 16, in which the requests management module sends the additional data, returned by the service provision server, to the participation service provision server.

18. The system for aggregating services according to claim 17, in which the participation service provision server returns participative targeted data which are aggregated by the requests management module.

19. The system for aggregating services according to claim 18, in which the participative targeted data are commercial data.

20. The system for aggregating services according to claim 19, in which the participative targeted data comprise at least one communication link to an interface for ordering a good or service.

21. The system for aggregating services according to claim 8, in which the telecommunication platform is a mobile platform.
