Abstract

A method for securely obtaining data records over a coordinated computer network having a number of network members, each of which has an internal records database and a node, and a network process computer with an activity database. In a typical transaction, a target node requests an activity record of a subject. If the requested activity record resides on an internal records database belonging to another network member, an activity database is consulted. This is a central store of subject activity indicators that include the location of the activity records. An originator node is the one found to have access to the required activity record. A temporary, secure, transport link established between the target node and the originator node, managed by the network process computer, serves to transfer a copy of the subject'"'"'s activity record to the target node.

Claims

1. A method for securely obtaining data records over a coordinated computer network 1, comprising:

providing a plurality of network members, each network member comprising an internal records database and a node;

providing a network process computer comprising an activity database;

configuring said nodes such that each node has access to said activity database via said network process computer, and only a node associated with a given network member has access to the records database associated with said given network member;

populating said activity database with a plurality of subject activity indicators by at least two of said network members via their associated nodes and a network process operative on said network process computer;

requesting by a target node, via said network process computer, a digital copy of an activity record associated with a subject;

receiving by said target node, one or more digital data-grams from an originator node, said originator node being identified, using one of said subject activity indicators on said activity indicator database, as having access to an internal records database having said activity record;

establishing a temporary secure transport link between said target node to said originator node, under the management of said network process computer; and

,

receiving a digital copy of said activity record of said subject by said target node from said originator node via said secure link.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising terminating said temporary secure transport link once said target node has received said activity record.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising a super network, said super network comprising a network process module 15 operative on said network process computer 11 and wherein said network process manages a layer on top of a global computer network and said network members.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said node serves as a gateway for said network member, and said node controls a member activity.

5. The method of claim 3 wherein said network process is capable of initiating assembly of a complete digital copy of an activity record for said subject using a plurality of said subject activity indicators.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein said activity database is located on said network process computer.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein said activity database is located in part on at least on of said nodes.

8. The method of claim 1 said subject activity indicator references a medical record of a subject.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein said subject activity indicator refers to insurance information of a subject.

10. The method of claim 4 wherein said member activity is selected from a group comprising a user access, an access privilege, a record request, a record upload, a record download, a notification, a secure transport or any combination thereof.

11. A computer system comprising;

a node;

a server process enabled on said node capable of managing a member activity; and

a communication process capable communicating with a coordinated computer network.

12. The computer system of claim 11, wherein said member activity is selected from a group comprising a user access, a subject event record, a designation of a subject event identifier, a request for subject event identifier from said coordinated computer network, an assembly of a subject event record from a plurality of subject event identifiers, a billing activity, a maintenance activity or any combination thereof.

13. The computer system of claim 11, wherein said coordinated computer network further comprises a network process that utilizes an activity database for storing one or more subject activity identifiers.

14. The computer system of claim 11, wherein said network process is disposed in part on said node.

15. The computer system of claim 11, wherein said node communicates over a global computer network using a secure transient passage protocol.

16. The computer system of claim 11 wherein said coordinated computer network is further comprised of a plurality of said nodes.
