Intranet platform system
First Claim
1. A method for providing access to an intranet, the method comprising:
- providing intranet access cards to users, wherein the intranet access cards include intranet access information for intranet configurations;
receiving a first request message for access to the intranet from a first requesting communication device employed by a first user who receives a first intranet access card;
processing the first request message to determine if an intranet configuration providing access to intranet services exists, wherein first intranet access information for the intranet configuration is produced, and wherein the intranet configuration defines at least one connection employable by a plurality of the users between a plurality of intranet communication devices within the intranet;
in response to determining the intranet configuration exists, processing the first intranet access information to connect the first requesting communication device of the first user to the intranet configuration to provide the intranet services associated with the first intranet access card to the first user, wherein the intranet services provided depend on the intranet configuration; and
in response to determining the intranet configuration does not exist, processing the first intranet access information to execute a script to create the intranet configuration, to create a first card configuration for the first intranet access card, and to connect the first requesting communication device of the first user to the intranet configuration to provide the intranet services associated with the first intranet access card to the first user, wherein the intranet services provided depend on the intranet configuration;
wherein the first card configuration associates the first intranet access card with the intranet configuration; and
wherein the first card configuration comprises information for configuring the first requesting communication device of the first user for optimal access speed over the connection with the intranet configuration.

Abstract
An intranet platform system that automatically configures and provides access to virtual intranet networks using intranet access cards. The intranet platform system comprises a processing system coupled to an interface system. The processing system is configured to process a request message for intranet access to determine if an intranet configuration exists, and if the intranet configuration exists, process the request message to connect a user who receives an intranet access card to the intranet configuration. If the intranet configuration does not exist, the processing system processes the request message to automatically create the intranet configuration and connect the user to the intranet configuration. The interface system is configured to receive the request message for the processing system.
