SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USING MULTIPLE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS TO TRANSMIT DATA IN NETWORKS OF SEPARATE COMPUTING SYSTEMS IN PREPARATION FOR THE PROCESSING OF A SUBSEQUENT COMPUTING TASK IN ONE OF THE NETWORKS

摘要

A computing apparatus having: a processing system connected in a first network of computers having a predetermined communication protocol for communication among at least the processing systems, terminals, and resource controllers in the first network; a portal connected to a second network and providing an application programming interface for communication with the terminals independent from the predetermined communication protocol; and a data store coupled with the processing system and the portal. The portal receives, via the application programming interface, context data via the second network; and the processing system receives, transaction data transmitted in the first network according to the predetermined communication protocol. Via the data store, the computing apparatus correlates the context data with the transaction data to process an add-on task, in addition to the tasks associated with the transaction data in the first network.

1. A computing apparatus, comprising:
a processing system connected in a first network of computers having a predetermined communication protocol for communication among at least the processing systems, terminals, and resource controllers in the first network; a portal connected to a second network and providing an application programming interface for communication with the terminals independent from the predetermined communication protocol; and a data store coupled with the processing system and the portal; wherein the portal is configured to receive, from a terminal via the application programming interface, context data via the second network; wherein the processing system is configured to receive, from the terminal, transaction data transmitted in the first network according to the predetermined communication protocol, the transaction data identifying a resource for processing a first predetermined operation in the first network, the resource controlled by a resource controller connected in the first network; wherein the computing apparatus is configured to identify a second predetermined operation based at least in part on the resource identified in the transaction data and correlate, via the data store, the context data with the transaction data; and wherein the transaction handler is configured to process the second predetermined operation, based on a combination of the context data and the transaction data, in addition to the first predetermined operation in the first network.
