Abstract
Abstract A system, method, and article of manufacture are disclosed for providing a stream-based communication system. A shared format is defined on interface code for a sending system and a receiving system. A message to be sent from the sending system to the receiving system is translated based on the shared format. Once translated, the message is then sent from the sending system and received by the receiving system. Once the message is received by the receiving system, the message is then translated based on the shared format.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A method for providing a stream-based communication system comprising the steps of: defining on a central system a shared fixed format on interface code for a sending system and a receiving system; downloading the shared fixed format from the central system to the sending system and the receiving system; translating a message to be sent from the sending system to the receiving system based on the shared fixed format; sending the message from the sending system using a stream-based protocol; receiving the message by the receiving system; and translating the message received by the receiving system based on the shared fixed format; wherein where the shared fixed format maps the fixed location and fixed size of each attribute in the message; and wherein the shared fixed format is stored on both the sending system and receiving system subsequent to being downloaded from the central system.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
145 words
A method for providing a stream-based communication system comprising the steps of: defining on a central system a shared fixed format on interface code for a sending system and a receiving system; downloading the shared fixed format from the central system to the sending system and the receiving system; translating a message to be sent from the sending system to the receiving system based on the shared fixed format; sending the message from the sending system using a stream-based protocol; receiving the message by the receiving system; and translating the message received by the receiving system based on the shared fixed format; wherein where the shared fixed format maps the fixed location and fixed size of each attribute in the message; and wherein the shared fixed format is stored on both the sending system and receiving system subsequent to being downloaded from the central system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein one of the systems is an object-based system and one of the systems is a non-object-based system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein both of the systems are object-based systems.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein both of the systems are non-object-based systems.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method as recited in claim 1 , and further comprising the step of storing information in the translated message received by the receiving system in a relational database.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
176 words
A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for providing a stream-based communication system comprising the steps of: a code segment that defines on a central system a shared fixed format on interface code for a sending system and a receiving system; a code segment that downloads the shared fixed format from the central system to the sending system and the receiving system; a code segment that translates a message to be sent from the sending system to the receiving system based on the shared fixed format; a code segment that sends the message from the sending system using a stream-based protocol; a code segment that receives the message by the receiving system; and a code segment that translates the message received by the receiving system based on the shared fixed format; wherein where the shared fixed format maps the fixed location and fixed size of each attribute in the message; and wherein the shared fixed format is stored on both the sending system and receiving system subsequent to being downloaded from the central system.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
176 words
