  Data processing system intended to facilitate confronting an offer and a demandThe Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20080183491. Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
This is a Continuation of application Ser. No. 10/415,703 filed Jul. 22, 2003, which is the U.S. National Stage of PCT/IB01/02102 filed Nov. 7, 2001. The disclosure of each prior applications are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. The present invention relates to a data processing system intended to facilitate confronting an offer and a demand, more particularly, although not exclusively, in the field of transporting goods or travelers. A data processing system intended to facilitate confronting an offer and a demand, also referred to as a freight exchange in the case of transporting goods, receives offers from hauliers and demands from customers requiring to transport a given volume of goods from a departure point to an arrival point on a given date. Users, whether hauliers or customers, must usually be subscribers to the freight exchange and their offers or demands receive a response only once they have been identified. An object of the present invention is to provide a new data processing system which is capable of increasing the number of offers/demands consulted with the aim of responding to a demand/offer, to facilitate satisfying the user originating the demand/offer. The new data processing system, adapted to confront an offer and a demand, in the field of freight or other fields, is characterized in that it is adapted to: receive requests corresponding to new offers/demands, the requests being formulated by users of the data processing system, receive data corresponding to offers/demands not yet satisfied from a plurality of secondary data processing servers, the secondary data processing servers being themselves adapted to confront an offer and a demand, after receiving a new request corresponding to a new offer/demand formulated by a user of the data processing system, verify if there is an offer/demand not yet satisfied, received from a secondary data processing server or transmitted previously by a user of the data processing system, that can respond to the new request, and if not, store the new request in the data processing system and/or send data corresponding to the new request to at least one of the secondary data processing servers to enable confrontation with an offer/demand responding to the new request received subsequently by the secondary data processing server. The data processing system of the invention provides virtual centralization of offers and demands, so to speak, and, with the invention, a user originating an offer or a demand need only consult one data processing system to obtain a response, because the data processing system searches secondary data processing servers to find a demand responding to the offer or vice-versa. Thus, in a freight context, the data processing system of the invention can automatically interrogate a plurality of freight exchanges, and the user, whether a haulier or a customer, no longer has to consult the freight exchanges successively to obtain a response to their offer or demand. The data processing system is preferably adapted to exchange data with a plurality of secondary data processing servers, at least two of which secondary data processing servers use different communication protocols. At least one of the secondary data processing servers can be adapted not to respond to a request corresponding to an offer or to a demand until it has received identification information for identifying the user originating the request.
