Data processing system intended to facilitate confronting an offer and a demand
First Claim
1. A data processing system adapted to confront offers and demands for matching an offer to a demand, said data processing system being configured to:
- receive and store new requests corresponding to one of new offers and new demands, wherein the new requests are formulated by users of the data processing system;
receive and store data corresponding to one of pending offers and pending demands from a plurality of secondary data processing servers, wherein the secondary data processing servers are each adapted to confront offers and demands to match an offer to a demand; and
after receiving a new request corresponding to one of a new offer and a new demand formulated by a user of the data processing system, determine whether the new request matches one of the pending offers and the pending demands that originated from one of the secondary data processing servers or one of the users of the data processing system,wherein if no match is determined, the data processing system is further configured to perform at least one of;
storing the new request in the data processing system; and
sending data corresponding to the new request to at least one of the secondary data processing servers to enable confrontation of the new request with one of a subsequent offer and a subsequent demand subsequently received by the secondary data processing server to match the new request with one of the subsequent offer and the subsequent demand.

Abstract
A data processing system (X) is adapted to confront an offer (O) and a demand (D), in particular in the field of transportation of travelers or goods. The system (X) receives requests corresponding to new offers/demands, formulated by users (CX) of the data processing system and data corresponding to offers/demands not yet satisfied from a plurality of secondary data processing servers (A, B, C, E) themselves adapted to confront an offer and a demand. After receiving a request corresponding to a new offer/demand formulated by a user (CX) of the data processing system (X), the system (X) verifies if there is an offer/demand (OA, DA, OB, DB, OC, OB, DB) not yet satisfied, received from a secondary data processing server (A, B, C, E) or transmitted previously by a user of the data processing system, that can respond to the request. If not, the system (X) stores the request in the data processing system and/or sends data corresponding to the new request to at least one of the secondary data processing servers (A, B, C, E) to enable confrontation with an offer/demand responding to the new request received subsequently by the secondary data processing server (A, B, C, E).

17. A method of facilitating confronting offers and demands for matching an offer to a demand, comprising:
-
receiving and storing requests corresponding to one of new offers and new demands, wherein the requests are formulated by users of the data processing system; receiving and storing data corresponding to one of pending offers and pending demands from a plurality of secondary data processing servers, wherein the secondary data processing servers are each adapted to confront an offer and a demand; and after receiving a new request corresponding to one of a new offer and demand formulated by a user of the data processing system, determining whether the new request matches one of a pending offer and a pending demand stored in the data processing server and received from a secondary data processing server or transmitted previously by the user of the data processing system, wherein if no match is determined, the method of further comprises at least one of; storing the new request in the data processing system; and sending data corresponding to the new request to at least one of the secondary data processing servers to enable confrontation of the new request with one of a subsequent offer and a subsequent demand subsequently received by the secondary data processing server to match the new request with one of the subsequent offer and the subsequent demand. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
