Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed which allow a computer system or group of systems to improve their programming, knowledge, and usability with continued use. By providing ever-increasing capabilities to users, both on-line and off-line, this method may improve customer service, give users capabilities never before available to them, and help companies automate many of their data processing and research needs.

Claims

1. A method by which one or a plurality of networked processors learn from the experiences of itself and/or of its peers comprising:

a. receiving, at a local processor, a request for a datum or data, and/or a program or plurality of programs, and/or a feature or a plurality of features, and/or a procedure or plurality of procedures and/or a resource or plurality of resources;

b. determining, at said local processor, if said request is immediately serviceable locally;

c. servicing the request using and/or responding with, at said local processor, said datum or data, and/or said program or plurality of programs, and/or said feature or a plurality of features, and/or said procedure or plurality of procedures and/or said resource or plurality of resources.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said request is transmitted to a master processor or a plurality of processors via a channel of best available speed and/or other qualities, of a communication network further comprising the steps of:

a. determining at said master processor or said plurality of processors, if said request is immediately serviceable by said master processor or said plurality of processors;

b. a response is determined to said request;

c. transmitting said response to said request via said channel of best available speed and/or other qualities, of said communication network to said local processor.

d. updating, at said local processor, said datum or data, and/or said program or plurality of programs, and/or said feature or a plurality of features, and/or said procedure or plurality of procedures and/or said resource or plurality of resources according to said response.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the request is transmitted to a master processor or a plurality of processors via a channel of best available speed and/or other qualities, of a communication network further comprising the steps of:

a. determining at said master processor or said plurality of processors that said request must be placed in a queue of requests;

b. informing an authority, either human, processor, or other designated device or object, of said request in said queue;

c. a response to said request is determined by said authority;

d. said response to said request is transmitted via said channel of best available speed and/or other qualities, of said communication network to said local processor;

e. updating, at said local processor, said datum or data, and/or said program or plurality of programs, and/or said feature or a plurality of features, and/or said procedure or plurality of procedures and/or said resource or plurality of resources according to said response.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising the step of:

a. a notice is sent by said master processor or said plurality of processors to a subscriber or plurality of subscribers and/or client processor or plurality of client processors of the availability of said response to said request, comprised of a new datum or data, and/or a program or plurality of programs, and/or a feature or a plurality of features, and/or a procedure or plurality of procedures and/or a resource or plurality of resources.

5. The method of claim 4 further comprising the step of:

a. downloading by said subscriber or said plurality of subscribers and/or said client processor or said plurality of processors, individually and severally, of a new datum or data, and/or a program or plurality of programs, and/or a feature or a plurality of features, and/or a procedure or plurality of procedures and/or a resource or plurality of resources by any available means.
