Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011009479A1] A method for handling an electronic request between two entities with the aid of an intermediary entity as well as uses of the method are disclosed. A first entity sends a request intended for a second entity via an open, first communication network such as the Internet to an intermediary entity, which then forwards the request as a text message such as an SMS message via a secure, second communication network such as a GSM network to the second entity, which indicates acceptance of the request by sending a text message back to the intermediary entity, or rejects the request by e.g. not responding. The intermediary entity then either confirms that the request has been accepted if the second entity has responded within a maximum response time or otherwise indicates rejection of the request by the second entity by sending a corresponding text message to the first entity.
