摘要

An information bridge device, IBD (10, 20), comprising :- an API interface (application programming interface) (300) comprising:- an API input (301), for receipt of user input or request via an application (APP) (30) arranged located on a user device (1100) associated with a user (1000), and, an API output (302), for facilitating transfer of data (300F) relating to at least one Enterprise (2000) to the application (APP) (30), the information bridge device further comprising :- a metadata store (310), for storing metadata specific to the at least one Enterprise (2000), said metadata comprising, access information arranged to facilitate access to the at least one Enterprise (2000) by the information bridge device (IBD) (1020), an Enterprise data collector (330), arranged capable of receiving or collecting (300G 300H) Enterprise data from at least one contact option (2100) arranged in association with the at least one Enterprise (2000), and further arranged in co-operation with the metadata store (310) for identification of the at least one Enterprise (2000) and receipt of metadata comprising access information associated with the at least one contact option (2100) to facilitate collection, and, an Enterprise data store (320), arranged to store said Enterprise data obtained by the Enterprise data collector (330), and further arranged co-operative (300E) with the API output (302) of the API interface (300) for Enterprise data transfer to the application (APP) (30) on the user device (1 100). An information bridge system, a communication system, a method of information bridging and use of a user interface and software product for implementation of the information bridging method.
