Dynamic client registry apparatus and method

摘要

A registry to organize information from client entities on different networks for selective sharing, having a first computer having a disk for storing a dynamic client registry and resource locators containing function names. A web server causes the first computer to respond to the resource locators by loading the function name indicated. A database management program organizes the dynamic client registry. The system also includes a domain communications server which is used by the web server to respond to resource locators directed to it and to direct the database management program in organizing the dynamic client registry; several secondary computers networked with the first, each having a disk for storing a dynamic group registry and resource locators containing function names, a web server which causes the secondary computer to respond to resource locators by loading the function name indicated, a database management program for organizing the dynamic group registry; a client side communications server in each secondary computer, which responds to resource locators directed to the client side communications server and which directs the database management program in organizing the dynamic group registry; a domain communications resource locator list stored in all computers that causes functions to be selected for execution in the domain communications server; a client side communications resource locator list stored in all computers that causes functions to be selected for execution in each client side communications server so that communications between the first computer and each secondary computer cause the selected functions to selectively direct information to secondary computers.
