A generic approach for identifying, authenticating, and correlating a received massage with a particular event and a particular recipient, regardless of the number of events, number of recipients and types of media used for the originally sent message, is achieved by the inclusion of a unique ID embedded in each originally sent message. Upon receipt of an incoming reply message, a parser extracts the unique ID information provided by the recipient from the message for correlation of the incoming message with the associated sent message.

Message identification, correlation, recipient authentication, and reception confirmation in multi-event and multi-media environments

Input data queries directed at a plurality of target databases and originating from any of a plurality of sources are first converted to validated canonical forms, which are then used to query the target databases. Specifically, upon receiving an input data query, a relatively accurate reference database is selected based on the type of the input data. This reference is then queried for the input data with the intent of finding an exact matching record or a near-matching record that can be considered an exact match and thereby validating the input data. Otherwise, the requesting source is instructed to provide a new query. Once having a validated record, it is converted to a canonical form, which is then used to query the target databases intended to be searched. In a further embodiment, multiple reference databases are queried to determine a canonical form of the data or to determine multiple canonical forms of the data.

Method and apparatus for querying target databases using reference database records by applying a set of reference-based mapping rules for matching input data queries from one of the plurality of sources

Querying target databases using reference database records

The present invention provides a system and method for automatically configuring a mobile host in a Wireless Local Access Network (WLAN) environment. In particular, the present invention employs GPS technology and an Information Gateway to provide preconfigured information about different access points of the WLAN within the vicinity of the current location of the mobile host.
