Abstract
The invention is a computing system that intermediates between an individual and an array of external services and resources and enables computing devices to be selectively delegated responsibility for managing these services based upon owners'"'"' interests and preferences. Rules are applied to determine which service offerings on the web or from nearby communications enabled devices are of interest and service access is initiated based upon the recipient'"'"'s prevailing needs and priorities. The software filters unsolicited messages and advertisements and responds to requests of interest from service providers. It also coordinates transactions with multiple service providers as well as local resources on the device to facilitate electronic commerce transactions and deliver value added services. This software paradigm allows computing devices greater latitude in taking decisions within specified ground rules and user preferences. This invention can be used in mobile wireless computing devices as well as on desktop, technical, professional and enterprise computing environments.
