<p>An industry wide system for collecting and distributing real-time data that includes a central network (150) having a database for receiving real-time data and one or more local networks (110, 120) connected to the central network via an internet network (160). Each local network collects real-time data and transmits the real-time data to the central network database via a secure transmission mode. Access to the central and local network databases is controlled according to prearranged rules that are implemented by an access control program. A user can access the central network database and the real-time data remotely via the internet network. The data stored at any of the network locations may be proprietary. An owner of such proprietary data can share some or all of such proprietary data with the owner of the other local networks according to rules specified by the owner of the proprietary data.</p> |
