Intelligent end user gateway device
First Claim
1. A method of providing network intelligence between an intelligent end-user gateway (IEUG) device and a plurality of intelligent network layers, comprising:
- a) generating an end-user diary including goals, goal-related plans, and tasks to fulfill the plans;
b) forwarding said end-user diary to at least one of said plurality of intelligent network layers;
c) updating a user profile from said end-user diary at said at least one of said plurality of intelligent network layers;
d) sending goal related information to said IEUG device; and
e) performing said tasks and plans to fulfill said goals based on said network related information.

Abstract
A method of providing network intelligence between an intelligent end-user gateway (IEUG) device and a plurality of intelligent network layers. The method includes generating an end-user diary including goals, goal-related plans, and tasks to fulfill the plans. The end-user diary is sent to at least one of the plurality of intelligent network layers, where the at least one of the plurality of intelligent network layers update a user profile from the end-user diary and send goal related information to the IEUG device. The IEUG performs the tasks and plans to fulfill the goals based on the goal related information.

10. An intelligent end-user gateway (IEUG) device for providing end-user device intelligence to an intelligent network, comprising:
a plurality of functional layers for providing respective functions within a hierarchy of functions, each of said functional layers including a respective agent for vertically propagating information between hierarchically adjacent layers, each of said functional layers including at least one element for implementing at least one respective layer function;
whereineach functional layer agent, in response to a respective task-indicative subset of said vertically propagated information, horizontally propagating to respective functional layer elements at least that information necessary to perform an indicated task; and
each functional layer agent vertically propagating information pertaining to said indicated task. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method of providing intelligence to end-user devices communicating with a network having a plurality of network layers, at each layer said method comprising:
-
a) establishing goals to be performed by an intelligent end-user gateway (IEUG) device coupled to said end-user devices at a first network layer;
b) providing input to a database storing information regarding the network and network environment;
c) hypothesizing plans to accomplish said goals at said IEUG device;
d) predicting results of said hypothesized plans;
e) evaluating said predicted results;
f) selecting plans with the highest evaluations for execution;
g) updating said database;
h) sending an output response to at least one of a superior and subordinate layer to said first layer;
i) repeating steps a through h for all of the network layers; and
j) executing said selected plans. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)
