System and method for modifying criteria used with decision engines
First Claim
1. A system for modifying criteria attributes of a decision engine, the system comprising:
- an acceptable criteria storage unit adapted to store acceptable criteria attribute data;
an active criteria storage unit adapted to store active criteria attribute data and to provide said active criteria attribute data to the decision engine; and
a criteria attribute unit in communication with said acceptable criteria storage unit and said active criteria storage unit, wherein said criteria attribute unit is adapted to receive proposed criteria attribute data, compare said proposed criteria attribute data with said acceptable criteria attribute data to determine whether said proposed criteria attribute data is acceptable criteria attribute data, and to provide said proposed criteria attribute data as active criteria attribute data to the active criteria storage unit for storage if said proposed criteria attribute data is determined to be acceptable criteria attribute data.

Abstract
The present invention comprises a system and method for modifying and testing criteria attributes used with decision engines. The criteria attribute unit (10) receives proposed criteria attribute data from the proposed criteria input source (5). If the proposed criteria attribute data qualifies as acceptable criteria attribute data as reflected in the acceptable criteria storage unit (15), then the proposed criteria attribute data is stored in the active criteria storage unit (20). If the proposed criteria attribute data qualifies as unacceptable criteria attribute data as reflected in the unacceptable criteria storage unit (35), then the proposed criteria attribute data is disregarded. If the proposed criteria attribute data is neither acceptable nor unacceptable criteria attribute data, then the data is stored in the untested criteria storage unit (30). Active criteria attribute data is provided to the decision processor (25) for processing.

14. A system for testing criteria attributes of a decision engine, the system comprising:
-
an acceptable criteria storage unit adapted to store and provide acceptable criteria attribute data; a testing processor adapted to receive testing criteria attribute data, process said testing criteria attribute data in a testing process, and provide the success or failure status of said testing process; and a criteria testing unit in communication with said acceptable criteria storage unit and said testing processor, wherein said criteria testing unit is adapted to provide testing criteria attribute data to said testing processor, and provide said testing criteria attribute data to said acceptable criteria storage unit as acceptable criteria attribute data if said testing process returns a success status. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for modifying criteria attributes used in a decision engine computer process, the method comprising:
-
receiving proposed criteria attribute data; verifying that said proposed criteria attribute data qualifies as acceptable criteria attribute data; storing said proposed criteria attribute data into a memory; and providing said proposed criteria attribute data to the decision engine computer process if said proposed criteria attribute data qualifies as acceptable criteria attribute data, wherein said proposed criteria attribute data is classified as active criteria attribute data. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method for testing criteria attributes used in a decision engine computer process, the method comprising:
-
receiving acceptable criteria attribute data from memory; determining testing criteria attribute data from said acceptable criteria attribute data, wherein said testing criteria attribute data is not acceptable criteria attribute data; testing said testing criteria attribute data in a computer process; and storing said testing criteria attribute data into memory, wherein said testing criteria attribute data is classified as acceptable criteria attribute data if the computer process returns a success status. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31)
