Device, use, system, and storage medium concerning decision support for, or the control of, the behavior of an entity
First Claim
1. A device for generating decision support for decisions which determine and/or control the behavior of an entity comprising:
- a supervising unit arranged to handle a rule system for the behavior, wherein the supervising unit comprises at least one storage member in which a set of rules for the behavior is stored, a user interface including first means for presenting information to a user of the device and second means for inputting instructions to said supervising unit, the device being operable with a first automatic rule handler which automatically executes said rules according to a predetermined program for the rule handling, the device being operable with a second rule handler which enables a user, by instructions via said second means, to indicate an alternative to the automatic execution by the first rule handler, such that the second rule handler is activated and executes the rules in accordance with said instructions from the user at the same time that the first rule handler continues the automatic execution, the device being further operable such that said first means at the same time is able to present information concerning the rule handling which is carried out by the first rule handler and the rule handling which is carried out by the second rule handler.

Abstract
The invention concerns a device with a supervising unit (10) arranged to handle a rule system for the behavior of an entity (44). The supervising unit (10) comprises at least one storage member (12) in which a set of rules (14) for the behavior is stored. The device also has a user interface (16) comprising first means (18) for presenting information, preferably concerning decisions which are made and/or recommended, to a user. The device is arranged with a first (41) and a second (42) rule handler which can work in parallel with each other. Said first means (18) can simultaneously present information concerning the rule handling which is carried out by the first rule handler (41) and the rule handling which is carried out by the second rule handler (42). The invention also concerns a use, a system comprising a device according to the invention as well as storage media with computer programs for implementing the invention.

22. A storage medium for storing a computer program, wherein the storage medium carries a computer program which is such that when it is implemented in a supervising unit is connected to a user interface, the computer program providing
a first automatic rule handler which automatically executes rules according to a predetermined program for rule handling, and a second rule handler which enables a user, by instructions via said second means, to indicate an alternative to the automatic execution by the first rule handler such that the second rule handler is activated and executes the rules in accordance with said instructions from the user at the same time that the first rule handler continues the automatic execution, wherein the first means at the same time is able to present information concerning the rule handling which is carried out by the first rule handler and the rule handling which is carried out by the second rule handler.

27. A system comprising:
-
an entity, a device for controlling the behavior of the entity, the device including a first automatic rule handler which automatically executes rules according to a predetermined program for the rule handling;
a second rule handler which enables a user, by instructions via said second means, to indicate an alternative to the automatic execution by the first rule handler, such that the second rule handler is activated and executes the rules in accordance with said instructions from the user at the same time that the first rule handler continues the automatic execution, said first means at the same time is able to present information concerning the rule handling which is carried out by the first rule handler and the rule handling which is carried out by the second rule handler. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30)
