Communications system for supporting inter-dependent data messages
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of managing communications of a data message, the method comprising the steps of:
- assigning a dependency characteristic to a corresponding message type for at least one earlier transmitted data message of a group;
determining if a communication disruption has occurred for the at least one earlier transmitted data message in the group; and
executing a handling command for the group if the disruption occurred, the handling command consistent with the dependency characteristic assigned to the at least one earlier transmitted data message; and
transmitting a later data message of the group based on the handling command associated with the corresponding message type.

Abstract
A communication system and method for supporting the communication of inter-dependent data messages includes determining if a later data message represents an inter-dependent message affiliated with an earlier data message. The communication system and method determines whether a condition associated with the earlier inter-dependent data message is fulfilled. If the condition is fulfilled, communication system executes a command associated with the fulfilled condition and the later inter-dependent data message.

1. A method of managing communications of a data message, the method comprising the steps of:
-
assigning a dependency characteristic to a corresponding message type for at least one earlier transmitted data message of a group;
determining if a communication disruption has occurred for the at least one earlier transmitted data message in the group; and
executing a handling command for the group if the disruption occurred, the handling command consistent with the dependency characteristic assigned to the at least one earlier transmitted data message; and
transmitting a later data message of the group based on the handling command associated with the corresponding message type. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A system of managing communications of a data message, the system comprising the steps of:
-
a message-dependency manager for assigning a dependency characteristic to a corresponding message type for the at least one earlier transmitted data message of a group;
a disruption detector for determining if a communication disruption has occurred for the at least one earlier transmitted data message in the group;
a transaction manager for executing a handling command for the group if the disruption occurred, the handling command consistent with the dependency characteristic assigned to the at least one earlier transmitted data message; and
wherein the transaction manager is operable to transmit the later data message of the group based on the handling command associated with the corresponding message type in a message-dependency database. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
a transmitter coupled to the transaction manager, the transmitter including an encryption module for encrypting a data message; and
a receiver for receiving an encrypt data message from the transmitter, the receiver including a decryption module for decrypting the encrypted data message.

12. The system according to claim 8 further comprising:
-
a security database associated with the transaction manager;
a security manager for retrieving a submittal log-in identifier and a corresponding submittal password from the security database; and
a transmitter for transmitting the submittal log-in identifier and the submittal password.
-
-
13. The system according to claim 12 further including:
-
a receiver for receiving the submittal log-in identifier and the submittal password from the transmitter;
an authentication module associated with the receiver for accessing a reference password and a reference log-in identifier for comparison to the tendered submittal log-in identifier and the corresponding submittal password to establish a communications chamel between the transmitter and the receiver.

14. A system of managing communications of a data message, the system comprising the steps of;
-
a message-dependency manager for assigning a dependency characteristic to a corresponding message type for the at least one earlier transmitted data message of a group;
a disruption detector for determining if a communication disruption has occurred for the at least one earlier transmitted data message in the group;
a transaction manager for executing a handling command for the group if the disruption occurred, the handling command consistent with the dependency characteristic assigned to the at least one earlier transmitted data message; and
wherein the transaction manager is operable to transmit a later data message of the group and to delete the at least one earlier data message in the group based on the handling command associated with a corresponding message type of a message-dependency database.

-
a message-dependency manager for assigning a dependency characteristic to a corresponding message type for the at least one earlier transmitted data message of a group;
a disruption detector for determining if a communication disruption has occurred for the at least one earlier transmitted data message in the group;
a transaction manager for executing a handling command for the group if the disruption occurred, the handling command consistent with the dependency characteristic assigned to the at least one earlier transmitted data message; and
wherein the transaction manager is operable to transmit a later data message of the group and to transmit the at least one earlier data message in the group based on the handling command associated with a corresponding message type of the in a message-dependency database.

16. A system of managing communications of a data message, the system comprising the steps of:
-
a message-dependency manager for assigning a dependency characteristic to a corresponding message type for the at least one earlier transmitted data message of a group;
a disruption detector for determining if a communication disruption has occurred for the at least one earlier transmitted data message in the group;
a transaction manager for executing a handling command for the group if the disruption occurred, the handling command consistent with the dependency characteristic assigned to the at least one earlier transmitted data message; and
wherein the transaction manager is operable to transmit the at least one earlier data message prior to a later data message of the group in sequential order based on the handling command associated with a corresponding message type in message-dependency database.

17. A method for supporting the communication of inter-dependent data messages via a communications network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining if at least two data messages are inter-dependent;
organizing the at least two data messages into a group if they are determined to be interdependent; and
deleting at least one earlier message in the group if a sequence of the data messages in the group does not support contextual understanding of a latest data message in the group. - View Dependent Claims (18)
sending the latest data message remaining in the group to a destination communication system.

19. A method for supporting the communication of inter-dependent data messages via a communications network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining if at least two data messages are inter-dependent;
organizing the at least two data messages into a group if they are determined to be inter-dependent; and
sending the group of data messages to a destination communication system in a sequence from an earliest data message to a latest data message in the group wherein the sending step is executed if a sequence of the data messages provide a context for comprehension of the latest data message.
