Abstract

The invention concerns a computer network for services retrieval consisting of one or more computer systems and one or more service providers. The computer system may comprise one or more clients. On the computer system one or more network accessible client tools are running. The client tools may be enriched with services. According to the invention the computer network comprises one or more subscription management components. The subscription management component manages and secures specific client tool related communications between the one or more computer systems and the one or more service providers. The invention also concerns a computer system for application in the computer network, as well as a method for managing the network.

Claims (22)

1. A computer network for services retrieval comprising:

one or more computer systems and one or more service providers, the computer system comprising one or more clients and one or more network accessible client tools running on the computer system, the network accessible client tools are enriched with services,

wherein the computer network comprises one or more subscription management components, the subscription management components, designed to be initiated and to be fully controllable by an owner and thereby maintaining privacy, manage and secure specific client tool related communications between the one or more computer systems and the one or more service providers;

wherein the one or more subscription management components consist of several servers, each server with distinction of function and/or with access to specific information;

wherein the one or more subscription management components are provided with an enrichment server and that the enrichment server manages and secures all or part of the communication between one or more of the several servers of the one or more subscription management components and the one or more service providers;

wherein the enrichment servers match internal with external information;

wherein the subscription management component is adjustable, preferably adjustable to one or more access levels; and

wherein the subscription management component comprises a classification module for classifying service providers and/or computer systems and adjusting itself for communication with a specific service provider and/or a specific computer system, in particular with respect to the access level and/or the extent of specific information to be communicated, and/or comprising a decoupling component wherein information (subscription) request is decoupled from actual user data, and/or comprising a means for making a user anonymous, such as Calendar42.

2. A computer network according to claim 1 , wherein the subscription management component is designed for real-time and/or continuous processing of communications, in particular of changes in communication, and/or of communication conditions, such as for planning.

3. A computer network according to claim 1 , wherein the computer system includes the subscription management component, and/or the client includes the subscription management component.

11. Method for managing the computer network according to claim 1 , comprising:

searching for relevant services and/or service providers in relation to a client tool running on a computer system of a computer network;

determining and setting, initiated and fully controllable by an owner and thereby maintaining privacy, for the specific service and/or the service provider, the access level and/or the accessible information package and/or a push and/or pull configuration;
