  • MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As shown in Fig. 1 , one particular application of the present invention relates to a school seeking casual or relief teachers by sending messages to remote addressees, and receiving direct response thereto.
  • a school uses a conventional web browser 10 to author a request or requests for selected casual teachers (addressees).
  • the web page is one provided by intermediary, as will be explained.
  • the school's request may be unicast, multicast, or broadcast over the Internet by the intermediary and through a gateway into a telephonic or wireless communications system 20.
  • the result is a message which is delivered to the addressee identified by the school push (or first) message 21.
  • the push or first message 21 is delivered over the telephone network to the individual addressees.
  • the message might read "you have urgent advice from school XXX seeking casual science teacher" or something similar.
  • the addressee receives the message 22 on the appropriate telecommunications equipment as will be further explained.
  • the message is akin to an alert sent by the provider (school) to the addressee (casual teacher). If the addressee decides to abide by the alert, he is directed to a login screen 23 for entry of user ID and password. In the alternative, the addressee may choose to either ignore or postpone the invitation to login, thereby exiting the system 24, at least temporarily.
  • the addressee suitably enabled telephone provides a login screen 23. Entry of the user ID and a password results in either entry into the school's teacher relief system 25 or refusal of entry 26. If the system determines that the user ID and password are acceptable, the user is provided with the casual teacher position advice 27 initially provided through the school's web browser. In preferred embodiments, the casual teacher position (ie content) 27 then appears on the addressee's communications device and may consist of particular advice, for example, a casual grade 6 science teacher is required 10am to 3pm on Wednesday 26 November 2003. If the addressee chooses to seek the appointment (ie follow the content or advice), he is guided through one or more screens which enable him to directly accept the position (content) 28. In the alternative, the user can reject the content and exit the system 29.
  • the casual teacher position advice 27 initially provided through the school's web browser.

  • a provider's information management system 40 may comprise either a PC or server 41 which incorporates a web module 42 and an optional security module 43. Where the provider's information management system 40 is used to record and store addressee's contact details these may be stored, for example, in the provider's backend system 44.
  • the provider's web module 42 is connected to, for example, the Internet 45, and is thereby adapted to receive information from any number of public or proprietary sources 46, 47.
  • the computer system 50 which interfaces with the provider's system 40 comprises a central PC or server 51 having a web module 52 and a security module 53.
  • the web module 52 communicates with the provider's web module 42 via the Internet 45.
  • the information management system 50 may incorporate an optional storage module 54 which is adapted to record, store and maintain addressee information required by the provider.
  • the storage module 54 is capable of providing all the provider's information needs with respect to its addressees but is not capable of actually performing a trading function.
  • the provider's web module 42 presents the provider with a web page through which the provider may access a list of addressees, whether this list is provided by the storage module 54 or by the provider's backend 44.
  • the provider uses this list to generate a request for a unicast, multicast or broadcast of messages to individual addressees. Whether stored remotely or locally, the list is protected by security features which prevent tampering or abuse.
  • the web page presented to the provider is preformatted to suit his individual needs. The provider completes the empty fields in the web page form and sends the unicast, multicast or broadcast request through the Internet 45 to the web module 52.
  • the information management system 51 converts the provider's HTML request to, for example, WML (WAP markup language) or XML language for transfer to the individual addressees.
  • WML or XML message is transferred to a suitable telecommunications gateway 60.
  • a JAVA ( ⁇ M) servlet will serve wireless mark-up language (WML) pages to the WAP addressee, and the WML pages will be dynamically constructed from database content to provide casual vacancy advice, enable the acceptance of work offers, and provide information relating thereto.
  • the gateway could be, for example, an SMS gateway, a CSIM gateway or a GPRS gateway.
  • CSIM refers to a particularised use of the WAP protocol which enables the transmission of live links to a WAP device and consequently the transmission from the remote WAP device of a request associated with the link.
  • CSIM involves a Service Indicator (SI) designed to send a text message that contains an embedded link. This uses a function built into the Push specification from the WAP June 2000 specification.
  • the SI is generated from an XML form using an SI template.
  • the SI is written using XML DTD rules and is parsed into binary format for broadcast by the gateway.
  • the message originally sent by the provider is then transmitted from the telecommunications gateway 60 as suitable telecommunications network 61 such as a GPRS, WAP or SMS network.
  • the message is then transmitted to any number of individual addressees 62.
  • the wireless telephone user will receive the provider's alert message accompanied by an invitation to provide his services.
  • the alert notifies each addressee that he has advice from the school, or other trusted provider.
  • the message arrives to the client 62 in an SMS format, he will have to escape from the SMS message and activate an Internet connection through a WAP service manually. In the alternative, and as previously mentioned, they may postpone or cancel the message.
  • the individual client 62 may activate a WAP session by activating a "hot" key on their mobile device or by postponing receiving their individualised message through a different "hot” key.
  • the client may either read the message or ignore it so long as the GPRS Internet connection is in "idle" mode.
  • the addressee may either accept the alert and proceed to receive the provider's message or advice or may decline it. If the alert is accepted and the provision of the user name and ID results in a successful login, a second message is transmitted in response to the provider's input.
  • the second message comprises specific advice about particular positions (content) and a positive response by the addressee 62 will result in a new screen being displayed on their communications device which allows the addressee to enter an acceptance for a particular position.
  • Offers sent by the addressee through his remote device can re-enter the telecommunications network and passes through the gateway 60 back through to the WAP, SMS or GPRS module 59 associated with the information management system 50.
  • the information management system 50 then utilises the client's ID and password to verify the addressee.
  • Verification information 55 may be provided directly to the provider through the web page etc.
  • the ID and password information 55 may be provided to the provider's backend 44 so that the authentication process can be managed by the provider's system 40. It will be understood that if verification is not successful, the addressee 62 may be prompted to resubmit their ID and password or their order, for example, should the addressee exceed their authorised limit of working hours.
  • the addressee has the option of sending the offer via the gateway 60 as described above or via his computer 64 direct to the web page using the same ID and password.
  • the messages which are sent and received as between provider and addressee are date and time stamped and are stored in a secure fashion such that they cannot be altered, edited or amended. This provides an auditable record of the transactions between the provider and the addressee.
  • a provider may forward more complete messages in the form of, for example, charts or graphs or text messages to be forwarded to a client's e-mail address or post office box if required. It will be appreciated that the system of the present invention operates independent of any particular carrier or brand of telecommunications device.
  • each screen presented to, say, a client of a stockbroker with regard to a client's placement of an order is accompanied by a link or option for the client to cancel the transaction.
  • the broker or vendor is able to elect a time window which accompanies their advice.
  • the broker may use their web browser to specify an interval of time, eg, one hour within which a client's order for product or services may be accepted. Outside of that window, the order will be rejected by the information management system 50.
  • all orders for products or services must be proved or authorised by the provider, vendor or broker on an individual basis and are not passed through to any automated trading systems without appraisal of the situation.
  • messages which are sent and received, even when they are stored in the information management system storage module 54 are not able to be reviewed or read by the operators of the information management system 50.
  • the owners or operators of the information management system 50 may be able to review, for statistical or billing purposes, the number of messages sent and percentage of responses received but are actually able to review the contents of individual messages.
  • the broker or vendor is billed according to the number of orders placed through the system.
  • the embodiment of the invention shown in Fig 3 covers a blood donor system where a blood bank (the provider) sends out request to registered blood donors (the addressees) for the supply of a particular type of blood within a pre-determined time frame.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de gérer des informations, dans lequel un prestataire a accès à une page web à travers l'ordinateur de ce prestataire (50) pour générer une demande qui identifie un ou plusieurs destinataires et qui spécifie un contenu. L'ordinateur (50) comprend un système de gestion d'informations (40) pour recevoir la demande et pour générer un premier message contenant un avertissement et une invitation à entrer dans le système de gestion d'information (40), pour chaque destinataire à travers une passerelle vers un système de télécommunication (40). Une identité (ID) d'utilisateur et un mot de passe sont reçu d'un destinataire en réponse à l'avertissement et à l'invitation. Si le destinataire est authentifié en fonction de l'ID et du mot de passe, un deuxième message possédant la partie de contenu est transmise au destinataire. Ce système de gestion d'informations reçoit une instruction envoyé par un destinataire et en réponse au deuxième message, par l'intermédiaire de la passerelle ou, au gré de chaque destinataire, directement sur la page web au moyen des mêmes ID et mot de passe, puis transmet l'instruction à l'ordinateur du prestataire pour traitement par ce dernier.
