MULTI-STAGE POLLING MECHANISM AND SYSTEM FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND PROCESSING CONTROL OF NETWORK RESOURCE DATA
First Claim
1. A method for coordinating submission of network resource data across a first network to a network resource located on a second network, the second network being coupled to the first network by a firewall such that the second network has a higher level of trust than that of the first network, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving and storing in a storage the network resource data submitted by a network terminal coupled to the first network, the network resource data containing a network resource identifier for associating the network resource data with the network resource;
receiving and storing in the storage control data associated with the network resource data, the control data for coordinating one or more actions on the network resource data;
receiving a first poll message initiated through the firewall by a polling server located on the second network, the first poll message requesting stored network resource data containing the network resource identifier and forwarding the network resource data matching the network resource identifier to the polling server; and
receiving a second poll message initiated through the firewall by the polling server, the second poll message requesting stored data matching the control data associated with the network resource data and forwarding the matched control data to the polling server.

Abstract
A method and corresponding system for coordinating submission of network resource data across a first network to a network resource located on a second network, the second network being coupled to the first network by a firewall such that the second network has a higher level of trust than that of the first network, the method comprising the steps of: receiving and storing in a storage the network resource data submitted by a network terminal coupled to the first network, the network resource data containing a network resource identifier for associating the network resource data with the network resource; receiving and storing in the storage control data associated with the network resource data, the control data for coordinating one or more actions on the network resource data; receiving a first poll message initiated through the firewall by a polling server located on the second network, the first poll message requesting stored network resource data containing the network resource identifier and forwarding the network resource data matching the network resource identifier to the polling server; and receiving a second poll message initiated through the firewall by the polling server, the second poll message requesting stored data matching the control data associated with the network resource data and forwarding the matched control data to the polling server.

12. A method for coordinating submission of network resource data across a first network to a network resource located on a second network, the second network being coupled to the first network by a firewall such that the second network has a higher level of trust than that of the first network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
submitting a first poll message initiated through the firewall by a polling server located on the second network to a proxy server located on the first network, the first poll message requesting any stored network resource data containing a network resource identifier, the network resource identifier for associating the network resource data with the network resource; receiving matching network resource data by the polling server from the proxy server; submitting a second poll message initiated through the firewall by the polling server to the proxy server, the second poll message requesting stored control data associated with the network resource data containing the network resource identifier, the control data for coordinating one or more actions on the network resource data; receiving matching control data by the polling server from the proxy server; and processing the matching network resource data according to the one or more actions contained in the matching control data. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. A system for coordinating submission of network resource data across a first network to a network resource located on a second network, the second network being coupled to the first network by a firewall such that the second network has a higher level of trust than that of the first network, the system comprising:
-
a proxy server located on the first network and configured for receiving and storing in a storage the network resource data submitted by a network terminal, the network resource data containing a network resource identifier for associating the network resource data with the network resource, and configured for receiving and storing in the storage control data associated with the network resource data, the control data for coordinating one or more actions on the network resource data; a polling server located on the second network and coupled to the proxy server via the firewall, the polling server configured for initiating and submitting a first poll message through the firewall to the proxy server requesting any stored network resource data containing the network resource identifier and for receiving matching network resource data from the proxy server, the polling server further configured for initiating and submitting a second poll message through the firewall to the proxy server requesting stored control data associated with the network resource data containing the network resource identifier and for receiving matching control data from the proxy server and processing the matching network resource data according to the one or more actions contained in the matching control data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
