Patent ID: 7934012

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for automatically configuring a plurality of translation codes, the method performed by a server which includes a memory for storing client-translation code association information for associating each of the plurality of translation codes with one or more of a plurality of clients, the method comprising: storing, in the memory, the client-translation code association information including first information that indicates an association between a first translation code and one client of the plurality of clients, the first translation code used for data translation to a first data format required by the one client; translating, using the first translation code, data within the server into the first data format; transmitting the translated data to the one client; automatically detecting a change during an exchange of information with the one client, the change indicating that the one client requires a second data format different from the first data format; receiving information related to the second data format from the one client in a data object definition message; automatically generating a second translation code for data translation to the second data format; replacing, in the client-translation code association information stored in the memory, the first information with a second information that indicates an association between the second translation code and the one client; newly translating, using the second translation code, data within the server into the second data format; and transmitting the newly translated data to the one client, wherein the data object definition message is authorized by an authorization management unit on the server used to control and restrict the reaction of the server to the data object definition message.
