Abstract

The invention relates to a remote services communication module which includes: a communication protocol and a communication encryption module. The communication protocol module provides support for an application level protocol used in a remote services system. The communication encryption module supports plug-in encryption modules.

Claims (55)

1. A remote services system comprising:

a remote services proxy, the remote services proxy providing communications flow management;

an applications server coupled to the remote services proxy module, the application server providing persistent storage of remote services infrastructure information; and,

a communication module located within an intermediate mid level manager, the communication module including

a communication protocol module, the communication protocol module providing support for an application level protocol used in a remote services system;

a communication authentication module, the communication authentication module validating incoming connections with customers of the remote services system; and

a communication encryption module, the communication encryption module supporting plug-in encryption modules.

2. The remote services system of claim 1 wherein:

the communications authentication module validates the incoming connections via certificates.

3. The remote services system of claim 1 wherein the remote services communication module is located within the remote services proxy.

4. The remote services system of claim 1 wherein

the communication protocol module and the communication encryption module are unique to a particular remote services system.

5. The remote services system of claim 1 wherein

the communication protocol module supports email and HTTP communications protocols.

6. The remote services system of claim 1 wherein

the encryption module interfaces with remote services communications engineering personnel.

7. A remote services system comprising:

a remote services proxy, the remote services proxy providing communications flow management;

an applications server coupled to the remote services proxy module, the application server providing persistent storage of remote services infrastructure information; and,

a communication module located within an applications mid level manager

the communication module including

a communication protocol module, the communication protocol module providing support for an application level protocol used in a remote services system;

a communication authentication module, the communication authentication module validating incoming connections with customers of the remote services system; and

a communication encryption module, the communication encryption module supporting plug-in encryption modules.

8. The remote services system of claim 7 wherein the communication module further comprises a communication authentication module, the communication authentication module validating incoming connections with customers of the remote services system, and wherein the communications authentication module validates the incoming connections via certificates.

9. A remote services system comprising:

a remote services proxy, the remote services proxy module providing communications flow management;

an intermediate mid level manager, the intermediate mid level manager providing data queue management, transaction integrity and redundancy;

an applications mid level manager, the applications mid level manager providing data normalization, integration with a mail server data flow;

an application server coupled to the remote services proxy, the application server providing persistent storage of remote services infrastructure information; and,

a communication module, the communication module including

a communication protocol module, the communication protocol module providing support for an application level protocol used in a remote services system; and,

a communication encryption module, the communication encryption module supporting plug-in encryption modules.

10. The remote services system of claim 9 wherein the communication module further includes:

a communication authentication module, the communication authentication module validating incoming connections with customers of the remote services system.

11. The remote services system of claim 10 wherein

the remote services communication module is located within the remote services proxy.

12. The remote services system of claim 10 wherein

the remote services communication module is located within the intermediate applications mid level manager.

13. The remote services system of claim 9 wherein:

the communications authentication module validates the incoming connections via certificates.

14. The remote services system of claim 9 wherein

the remote services communication module is located within the remote services proxy.

15. The remote services system of claim 9 wherein

the remote services communication module is located within the intermediate mid level manager.

16. The remote services system of claim 9 wherein

the remote services communication module is located within the applications mid level manager.

17. The remote services system of claim 9 wherein

the communication protocol module and the communication encryption module are unique to a particular remote services system.

18. The remote services system of claim 9 wherein

the communication protocol module supports email and HTTP communications protocols.

19. The remote services system of claim 9 wherein

the encryption module interfaces with remote services communications engineering personnel.

20. The remote services system of claim 9 wherein

the remote services communication module is located within the applications mid level manager.
