SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVISIONING UNIVERSAL STATELESS DIGITAL AND COMPUTING SERVICES
First Claim
1. A network operating center (NOC) for assisting in connecting a client device and one of a plurality of servers over a network, each of the plurality of servers providing at least one digital service over the network, the NOC comprising:
- a client database for storing client profile information of client devices and/or users that have an account with the NOC, the client profile information having at least a client identification (ID) identifying respective client devices and/or users and subscriber information indicative of services available in association with the client ID;
an authentication service adapted to receive client IDs from the client devices connected to the NOC over the network, the authentication service capable of accessing the client database to obtain stored client IDs to assist in authenticating the client;
a service selection service configured to present, on an authenticated client device, a display of available services based, at least in part, on the subscriber information, and to receive indication of a selected service from the user; and
a connection service configured to contact one of the plurality of servers over the network that provides the selected service to facilitate access to the selected service over the network.

Abstract
A service provisioning system and method for providing remote access to digital services over a communications network, comprising a plurality of client devices connected to the communications network for requesting digital services from a plurality of service centers and presenting output from the digital services. The network operation center connected to the communications network authenticates client devices and users, manages sessions, and processes requests for digital services. A connector associated with each service center establishes a session with a client device specified by the network operation center and encapsulates the native protocols of the digital services within a remote interactive protocol. The remote interactive protocol includes information for generating a human-perceptible presentation on the client device, to provide a remote access to the digital services without modifying the hardware and software infrastructure of the service centers.

9. A system for securely providing access to digital services from one of a plurality of servers to one of a plurality of client devices over a network, wherein each of the digital services is provided, at least in part, by generating data in a native format to be articulated to a user via a respective client device, the system comprising:
-
a network operating center (NOC) for authenticating the plurality of client devices, and for brokering a bi-directional connection between authenticated client devices requesting a digital service and a server providing the service; at least one first connector coupled to each of the plurality of servers, each of the at least one connector adapted to transform the data in the native format to a set of rendering commands capable of instructing the client device connected to the server how do render data on the client device such that the data in the native format is not transferred over the bi-directional connection or stored by the client device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
