System and method for delivering data in a network
First Claim
1. A method for standardizing data on a plurality of electronic devices, wherein a service provider offers one or more back-end software modules to at least one of said plurality of electronic devices, and wherein one of said back-end software modules has data associated with it, the method comprising:
- storing a plurality of characterizations, wherein said plurality of characterizations includes a separate characterization for each of said electronic devices;
detecting a change in said data associated with one of said back-end software modules;
receiving, in response to an interaction from one of said plurality of electronic devices, said change in said data associated with one of said back-end software modules; and
creating an updated characterization for said one of said plurality of electronic devices.

Abstract
A system and method for standardizing data on a plurality of electronic devices. The system comprises: an intermediate server on which is stored a plurality of characterizations, wherein the plurality of characterizations includes a separate characterization for each of the plurality of electronic devices. The intermediate server comprises: a service provider that forwards a request from one of the plurality of electronic devices to one or more back-end software modules and for receiving data from the one or more back-end software modules; an auxiliary data management module that combines the data with an auxiliary data source in order to form a combined data feed; and a data transformation module for transforming the combined data feed in accordance with one of the characterizations. The method comprises storing a plurality of characterizations, detecting a change in data associated with one of the back-end software modules, receiving the change in data, in response to an interaction with one of the plurality of electronic devices, and creating an updated characterization for one of the plurality of electronic devices.

17. A method for delivering data to an end-user in a networked environment, the method comprising:
-
receiving data in a centralized location requested from said end-user;
transforming said data to form transformed data in accordance with a plurality of characterizations, wherein said plurality of characterizations includes a separate characterization for each of a plurality of electronic devices associated with said end-user; and
storing in said centralized location, for each electronic device in said plurality of electronic devices, the data that has been transformed in accordance with the characterization of the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method for providing data in a networked environment, the method comprising:
-
retrieving referenced data from a back-end software module;
combining said referenced data with data from an auxiliary data source in order to form a combined data feed; and
transforming said combined data feed in accordance with a characterization of a device;
wherein said characterization of said device is from a plurality of characterizations, and wherein said plurality of characterizations includes a separate characterization for each of a plurality of electronic devices. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

40. An apparatus for providing data in a networked environment, the apparatus comprising:
-
a plurality of electronic devices for originating a request;
an intermediate server that is intermittently connected to at least one device in said plurality of devices, the intermediate server including a plurality of characterizations, said plurality of characterizations including a separate characterization for each of said plurality of electronic devices;
said intermediate server including;
a service provider communication module for forwarding said request to a back-end software module and for receiving data from said back-end software module in accordance with said request;
an auxiliary data management module for combining said data with an auxiliary data source in order to form a combined data feed;
a data transformation module for transforming said combined data feed into a transformed data feed in accordance with a characterization selected from said plurality of characterizations. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
