First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computationally-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a request to carry out a task of acquiring data requested by a task requestor;
acquiring one or more subtasks related to the task of acquiring data;
determining a set of two or more discrete interface devices that are configured to carry out the one or more subtasks at a particular time and in an absence of information regarding the at least one task and/or the task requestor; and
facilitating a transmission of one or more subtasks to two or more of the set of two or more discrete interface devices.

Abstract
Computationally implemented methods and systems include receiving a request to carry out a task of acquiring data requested by a task requestor, acquiring one or more subtasks related to the task of acquiring data, determining a set of two or more discrete interface devices that are configured to carry out the one or more subtasks at a particular time and in an absence of information regarding the at least one task and/or the task requestor, and facilitating a transmission of one or more subtasks to two or more of the set of two or more discrete interface devices. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.
