BACKGROUND
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to a service provided by internet service providers or database management providers for private or public use. Specifically, the service is designed to facilitate the connection or communication between different end-users of different internet services companies yet with the end-users that wish to contact or communicate with each other have at least one internet service company in common that incorporates the benefits of this invention in it ' s internet system.
2. Background of the Invention and prior art
In order to understand why this invention is o novelty and different from the current systems or methods, and how the technology related to it is at the moment, we are going to mention some examples and the related solutions mostly used in the market place.
In particular blue chip companies or companies that have a broad customer base spread over a large geographical area, where the company or multiple companies providing a service to its customers through the internet of a whole variaty, i.e. information services such media (radio, tv, news-paper etc.), telecommunbications services (voice, data, video, etc.), sales & distribution services (i.e. beverages, fat-food , etc.), social media and so forth.
Let us take the following example:
Two (2) different sales persons (user X and user Y) that know each other but operate in different regions. Both users X and Y provision the products they sell form a variaty of suppliers by placing their orders through the internet by user X to Internet system A (supplier A) and Internet system B (supplier B) and by user Y placing his orders to Internet system A (supplier A) and Internet system B (supplier B) and Internet system C (supplier C) . Say for example sake, user X is a sales represenatives of beverage products of Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola (Internet system A and B) and user Y is a sales represenatives of of beverage products of Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola and Schweppes (Internet system A, B and C).
In the past and still today, those users X and Y have their own credentials (username and password or other such unique user identification) which corrsponds to each user X account in Internet system A (Coca Cola), user X account in Internet system B (Pepsi Cola) and user Y account in Internet system A (Coca Cola), user Y account in Internet system B (Pepsi Cola), user Y account in Internet system C (Schweppes).
Both users X and Y have in common that they both have an authorised user account with Internet system A and B, and any interaction between both usershas to be in the form of user X having the phone number of user Y to make a dratitional phone call to coomunicate with user Y or has to use an internet communications system such as Skype (internet system D) or a social media system such as Tuenti (internet system E) to communicate between user X and Y provided both users X and Y are authorised registered users of common internet system D or E.
The issue remains that most users are authorised registered users of a multiple of Internet systems but do not have all its contacts details duplicated in any and all of the Internet systems that it uses or when one user wishes to contact another user through a specific Internet system, often the user he wishes to contact is not available on that Internet system as he is using or logged into another Internet System.
The present invention resolves those issue mentioned herein above as follows: If previous mentioned user X connected on Internet system A wishes to connect to user Y connected on Internet system B to Exchange purchase orders or available stocks information then curently it ' s not posible to connect users from different Internet systems A and B as they are likely competotirs and would not facilitate that thier own users (i.e. sales representatives) would be contacting the users (i.e. other sales representatives) of their competitor. Therefore today these different users X and Y although authorised registered users of common Internet systems A and B can not communicate with each other a simple straightforward manner.
By ncorporating the present invention into the above eaxample as follows; user X and Y are now also authorised registered users of our "PAIS system" (proprietary automatic interconnect system) . .
3
Since user X shared his contacts list of Internet system A and B into user X account in this invention ' s Internet system PAIS and user Y shared his contacts list of Internet system A, B and C into user Y account in this same invention ' s Internet system PAIS, then user X can communicate with user Y by means of any user Y contact identification that user X has at the momento, be it user Y contact identification of Internet system A or a different user Y contact identification of Internet system B, provided to this same invention ' s Internet system PAIS. Provided Internet system PAIS can connect to user Y then the communication request of user X wishing to communicate with user Y will be performed through the Internet system PAIS.
One of the manin benefits of this invention is that users of different systems will not need to remember the contact information of their contacts of all the Internet systems to which they are an authorised user to when they wish to communicate with other user of which they have the contact details spread over different Internet systems. Also users do not need necesarely need to remember the phone number or a unique user idea identification of all his contacts but rather the method and system of thie present invention handles that automatically in the "Proprietary automatic internet system" (PAIS) or "Proprietary automatic internet method" (PAIM) .
To illustrate the previous, say user X has 10 business only contacts in Internet sytem A and 20 contacts in Internet sytem B. User Y is only one of the ten contacts of user X in Internet system A and does not appear in user X contacts of Internet system B. Both user X and Y are registered authorised users of Internet system PAIS of this present invention. Thus in the user X account contacts in Internet system PAIS will be user X 10 contacts Internet system A and 20 contacts Internet system B (30 contacts in total). So when user X asks Internet system PAIS to coomunicate with user Y it doe not matter if user X is connected also to Internet system A or B ori f user Y is connected to Internet system A, B or C so long user Y is reachable by Internet system PAIS it will interconnect the requesting party user X with the other part user Y inside the Internet system PAIS.
It ' s understood that the previous applies by replacing any user and Internet system corresponding instead of from beverages & distribution sector to be in example from media services, telecommunbications services, social media and so forth.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is designed to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to provide an automated way of identifying and reporting those alpha-numeric sequences (end-users identification, be it username, phone number, unique user ID, IMSI, etc.) from a user database that match against such alpha-numeric sequence.
The present invention is preferably a service offered through the internet by information services firms such media (radio, tv, news-paper etc.), telecommunbications services (voice, data, video, etc.), sales & distribution services (i.e. beverages, fat-food , etc.), social media and so forth or any such company that wishes to allow their users to synchronize their own personal database corresponding to one internet services company with that same users ' personal databases from other internet services companies with the aim of allowing two different users to connect or communicate with each other through the common internet services company that incorporate the benefits of this invention.
This is achieved by doing the reverse then is commonly used in the prior art namely; this invention relies on the user who wishes to synchronize his personal or business database to provide the data he wishes to synchronize or to allow the 3 rd party company he wishes to synchronize his own database with, access to his own database by the 3 rd party company. The 3 rd party company will use the system or method of the present invention by receiving from the user all contact details from his database or by express permission of the user the 3 rd party accesses and retrieves all his contacts list details from the user database AND it's the 3 rd party that performs the automated process of database synchronization in the form of detecting, reporting and if express permission is given by the user process the information associated with any match between any "connect request" from the user database and the 3 rd party database. This ensures thus full confidentiality and data protection, as no information other then "connect request" are provided by user to 3 rd party with the data obfuscated or scrambled at user request and its actually the 3 rd party who provides information from its database to the requesting user if and only if a match, as described herein in this invention, is found.
This invention makes it also possible to establish a synchronous or asynchronous, real time communication with independency of any additional software in the end-user device, using a method as described in this invention, which is able to retrieve and manage different and unique alpha numerical or numerical sequences from a single device, creating a database where these unique IDs directly relate users with devices. .
3
This invention uses unique alphanumerical or numerical sequences obtained from end-user devices; these identifiers, which are generated by users, devices, internet systems or by the communication networks.
An object of the present invention is to reduce the time and effort, but more importantly the probability of error, to synchronize a database from a private individual or business with the database of 3 rd party, performed in a fully automated manner by the 3 rd party with express consent of such private individual or business.
Another object of the invention is to help private individuals or business users to identify information of those common identities of alpha-numeric sequences related to user ID(s) between the user's own local database(s) and one or more 3 rd party database(s) with the express consent of each individual users.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims as well as the drawings hereto.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Specifically, FIGURE 1 is a top-level block diagram and architecture, which can be used to implement an embodiment of the present invention. For this exemplary embodiment, there is shown a wireless device (106), yet another wireless device (104), a computing device (105), a fixed device (103), all previous with a built-in "Proprietary Automatic interconnect software interface" (107), an Internet system A (101), yet another Internet system B (102) and a "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" (100) server (PAIM server), interconnected between each other through the internet. The present invention is limited to end-user devices having a "PAISWI" (107) downloaded or embedded but it ' s simply a preferred embodiment of the present invention to have the "PAISWI" in such end-user devices, namely:
Fixed devices (103), any such fixed device of any present or future technology, such as a fixed telephone capable of connecting to "Internet systems and the "PAIM server" of this invention, through the internet.
Wireless devices (104, 107), any such wireless device of any present or future technology, such as a mobile phone, wireless PDA, cordless phone, smartphone, wireless tablet, wireless computer or any such other wireless device capable of connecting to "Internet systems" and the "PAIM server" of this invention, through the internet.
Computing device (105), any such computing device of any present or future technology, such as personal computer (PC), portable computer, server or any such other computing device capable of connecting to "Internet systems" and the "PAIM server" of this invention, through the internet.
The entire system can therefore include, but is not limited to, any of the end-user devices listed herein before, an Internet system, a PAIM server, or a multiple configuration of the previous; multiple fixed devices, multiple wireless devices, multiple computing devices, multiple "internet systems, and "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" servers ("PAIM server"). The fixed devices, wireless devices and computing devices are configured and capable to connect through the internet to the corresponding Internet system (101 and/ or 102) to which there are an authorised subscriber to as well as capable of connecting and interacting with the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" server (100) to which there are also an authorised subscriber. The technology and means by which all previous mentioned devices, systems and servers are connected to the internet may be of any current or future technology, be it fixed or wireless interconnection and be it through private or public networks connecting directyl or indirectyl to the internet.
FIGURE 2 and 3 show two different preferred embodiments of the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect system" wherein the first embodiment the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" (100) is embedded within a standalone server (PAIM server) and in a second embodiment the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" (100) is embedded within a thirdparty "internet system A " (101). In the context of the foregoing, the drawings are self explanatory, basically showing two different combinations of the composition of the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect system" when end-users are basicalyl consisting of wireless devices (104 and 106). Although not mandatory for the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect system" to function it is a preferred embodiment for such end-user wireless devices to have downloaded or embedded a "Proprietary Automatic interconnect software interface" in order to fiaality a more user friendly approach for end- users to interact with the proprietary automatic interconnect method and system as set forth in the Claims.
One of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and its advantages are best understood by referring to FIGURE 3. Essentially, we have a method and an architecture for a "Proprietary Automatic Interconnect System" and a "Proprietary Automatic Interconnect Method" (100) embedded in an "Internet system A " (101) and its interfacing and interconnecting with the internet through wireless network(s) or public access network(s) for two way data communications. We have also additional Internet systems such as "internet system B" (102), "internet system C" (108), "internet system D" (109), end-user devices such as but not limited to "Wireless Internet device X" (104) and yet another different "Wireless Internet device Y" (106), both such previous end-user devices with a downloaded or built-in "Proprietary Automatic interconnect software interface (PAISWI)" (107). Such wireless devices 104 and 106 are adapted and capable of connecting through the internet to internet system" to whom they are a authorised registered user to; in the case of device 104 being an authorised registered user to "Internet system A" (101), "Internet system B" (102) and "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" (100) „
o in the case of device 106 being an authorised registered user to "Internet system A" (101), "Internet system B" (102), "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method server" (100), "Internet system C" (108), "Internet system D" (109).
In a first step each end user device (104 and 107) communicates with the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method server" (100) through their respective user interface of the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect software interface (PAISWI) " (107) or any such other means adapted and capable of interacting between 104 and 100. The PAISWI (107) then provides the PAIMS (100) with the contacts information each device user has with any such other Internet systems;
- in the case of device 104 its build-in PAISWI (107) provides the PAIMS (100) all the contacts information of such user device (104) of "Internet system A " (101) and "Internet system B " (102) and is then stored by the PAIMS (100) in the corresponding contacts lists assigned by the PAIM to user 104 inside the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method Database" (see 300 of Figure 1) which forms part of the PAIMS (100).
in the case of device 106 its build-in PAISWI (107) provides the PAIMS (100) all the contacts information of such user device (106) of "Internet system A " (101), "Internet system B " (102), "Internet system C" (108), "Internet system D " (109) and is then stored by the PAIMS (100) in the corresponding contacts lists assigned by the PAIM to user 106 inside the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method Database" (see 300 of Figure 1 ) which forms part of the PAIMS (100).
In a second step each end user device (104 and 107) will at regular time intervals or at any time any of its contacts lists change, inform the PAIMS (100), and update their corresponding contacts lists assigned to each user (104 and 106) in the PAIM database (300) that forms part of the PAIMS (100).
The advantages of the present invention are better understood with an example as follows: say user X of wireless internet device X (104) wants to communicate with an other second user Y of wireless internet device Y (106) then the first user 104 can click on the contact corresponding to user Y on its local 104 device contacts list of "Internet system A" or click on the contact corresponding to user Y on its local 104 device contacts list of "Internet system B" to which the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect software interface" (107) of user X (104) will extract the correponding user Y (107) contact information from the PAIM database (300) embedded inside the PAIMS (100). The PAIMS (100) will then verify if user 107 (user Y) is connected to the PAIMS (100) and; in the event user 107 (user Y) is not connected to the PAIMS (100) at that specific time, then the PAIMS (100) notifies first userX (104) that second user Y (107) Is not connected to the PAIMS (100). in the event user 107 (user Y) is connected to the PAIMS (100) at that spedfic time, then the PAIMS (100) interconnects first user X (104) with second user Y (107) through the PAIMS (100) to which both were connected to at that spedfic time and allow a simultaneous two way data communication between user X (104) and user Y (106) as follows: 104 to 100 to 106 and simultaneousyl 106 to 100 to 104.
A further improvement can be obtained with a variant of the preferred embodiment of Figure 3 wherein the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect software interface" (107) maintains automaticalyl a connection with the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" server (100) at regular intervals.
Also a benefit of the architecture of the present invention is that it allows scalability and may incoporate a multiple of each and any of the parts described in a same physical local or spread over a multiple physical locations around the world, so long the common interconnect is the internet.
The onyl limitation of the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect system" and the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" of the present invention is that it onyl allows user of devices (104 and 106) to connect to each other through the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" server (100) through those local contacts lists of those "Internet systems" which the users have common authorisation and are a subscriber to (101 , 102 and 100).
The present invention is applicable with or without the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect software interface" (PAISWI), although when the PAISWI (107) is used, the benefits can be greater: the PAISWI (107) should be used wherever such inclusion is practical and beneficial commercially.
Finally Figures 4, 5 and 6 respectiveyl show a flow chart diagram of one potential implementation example of the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect method" (100) in Fig. 4 and yet a different implementation example in Fig. 5 whilst Fig. 6 shows a flow chart diagram of one potential implementation example of the "Proprietary Automatic interconnect software interface" (107). Based on the foregoing these flow charts are mere examples and should be understood and viewed as such.
Many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in view of the above disclosures, drawings, block diagrams, flow charts, and explanations. Thus, it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention can be practiced other than as specifically described above. The invention which is intended to be protected should not, however, be construed as limited to the particular forms disclosed, or implementation figures or examples outlined, as these are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. Variations could be made by those skilled in the art without deviating from the Claims of the present invention. Accordingly, the foregoing detailed descriptions and drawings should be considered exemplary in nature and not limited to the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.
