Information collection system equipped with transfer mechanism
First Claim
1. An information collection system equipped with transfer mechanism, comprising:
- a terminal connection unit includinga terminal agent transmitting/receiving module for reading a specific area in an electronic message sent from a radio terminal via radio line or a wired terminal, and for transmitting the electronic message to one of specific servers specified in the electronic message as a circulating server; and
a server includinga server agent transmitting/receiving module for receiving the-electronic message from a terminal connection unit, transferring the electronic message to a processing module when a server is one of the circulating servers, for writing a processing result in the electronic message, and for transmitting the electronic message to a next one of circulating servers written in the electronic message, andthe processing module for converting the transferred electronic message from the server agent transmitting/receiving module into a language used in the specified server and for processing a converted electronic message.

Abstract
The prime object of the present invention is to achieve an easy-to-use information collection system equipped with transfer mechanism, that can lower the amount of traffic on network and minimizes the operation at terminal. Main features of the present invention are the terminal connection unit provided with a terminal agent transmitting/receiving module, and the server provided with a server agent transmitting/receiving module. When an electronic message is sent from a radio or wired terminal via radio or wired line, the terminal agent transmitting/receiving module reads the specific area in the electronic message and transfers it to a predetermined server. The server agent transmitting/receiving module then receives and reads the message, and transfers it to a corresponding processing module if the message is addressed to it'"'"'s own server, writes the processing result in the message and then forwards the message to the next address indicated in the message. In addition, the specific area in the electronic message is created upon request at the time of database retrieval, and the server also includes a database and a procedure language interpreting module unique to each database.
