Abstract

A computer-implemented system for progressively transmitting of knowledge between system nodes of a network structure comprises a plurality of system nodes and intelligent interfaces by which respective system nodes are coupled with each other for performing a communication. The intelligent interfaces transmit object features of cognition structure objects comprising knowledge, information and data depending on a respective question of a respective one system nodes progressively more faithful to detail from another of the respective system nodes to the one of the respective system nodes. Furthermore, there are disclosed a corresponding method and a computer program product relating to the system and method.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented system for progressively transmitting knowledge between system nodes of a network structure, comprising:

a plurality of system nodes; and

intelligent interfaces that couple system nodes to each other and that establish communication between the system nodes, wherein the intelligent interfaces transmit object features of cognition structure objects, wherein the object features comprise knowledge, information and data depending on a question of one of the system nodes transmitted progressively more faithful to detail from another of the respective system nodes to the one of the respective system nodes.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein relations are present between cognition structure objects.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the cognition structure objects are hierarchically structured, and wherein data objects are located on a lower level of the hierarchical structure.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the progressively more faithful to detail transmitting is performed from a higher level to the lower level within the hierarchical structure.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein each system node comprises a client, a server and a sensor.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the server comprises a database.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein different kinds of cognition structure objects are arbitrarily processed leading to a multi-modal processing.

8. A computer-implemented method for progressively transmitting knowledge between system nodes of a network structure, the method comprising:

transmitting object features of cognition structure objects progressively more faithful to detail, wherein the object features comprise knowledge, information and data depending on a question of one of the system nodes from another of the respective system nodes to the one of the respective system nodes.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein relations are present between cognition structure objects.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the cognition structure objects are hierarchically structured, and wherein data objects are located on a lower level of the hierarchical structure.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the progressively more faithful to detail transmitting is performed from a higher level to the lower level within the hierarchical structure.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein each system node comprises a client, a server and a sensor.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the server comprises a database.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein different kinds of cognition structure objects are arbitrarily processed leading to a multi-modal processing.

15. A computer-readable medium comprising program instructions for performing the steps of:

transmitting object features of cognition structure objects progressively more faithful to detail between system nodes of a network structure, wherein the object features comprise knowledge, information and data depending on a question of one of the system nodes from another of the respective system nodes to the one of the respective system nodes.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the cognition structure objects are hierarchically structured, and wherein data objects are located on a lower level of the hierarchical structure.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the progressively more faithful to detail transmitting is performed from a higher level to the lower level within the hierarchical structure.

18. A system comprising:

a plurality of system nodes coupled to each other; and

means for progressively transmitting knowledge between the system nodes, wherein a question of one of the system nodes is transmitted progressively more faithful to detail from another of the system nodes to the one of the system nodes.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the means performs the progressively more faithful to detail transmitting from a higher level to the lower level within a hierarchical structure.

20. The system of claim 18, wherein the means transmits object features of cognition structure objects progressively more faithful to detail between the system nodes.
