Abstract

A method for providing real-time accounting in an interactive communications environment includes providing one or more electronic devices configured to communicate over a communications network. The method includes providing one or more servers configured to provide interactive data to the electronic devices over the communications network and to control the interactive data and to coordinate participant activities via the electronic devices over the communications network, wherein the interactive data comprises at least one of interest items, relationship and resource items and stuff. The method includes authenticating one or more participants by the electronic devices, modifying the interactive data based on one or more modification criteria, providing real-time accounting data based upon the participant'"'"'s activities and interests, wherein the accounting data is associated with and identifies and distinguishes the relationship and resource items in real-time. The method includes modifying the accounting data based upon alterations to interactions.

Claims

1. A method for providing real-time accounting in an interactive communications environment, the method comprising the steps of:

providing one or more electronic devices configured to communicate over a communications network;

providing one or more servers configured to provide interactive data to the electronic devices over the communications network and to control the interactive data and to coordinate participant activities via the electronic devices over the communications network, wherein the interactive data comprises at least one of interest items, relationship and resource items and stuff;

authenticating one or more participants by the electronic devices; and

modifying the interactive data based on one or more modification criteria;

providing real-time accounting data based upon the participant'"'"'s activities and interests, wherein the accounting data is associated with and identifies and distinguishes the relationship and resource items in real-time;

modifying the accounting data based upon alterations to interactions,

wherein the accounting data tracks the participant'"'"'s interactions in real-time.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising organizing the accounting data on a desktop of the electronic devices.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the interactions are time designated.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the alterations to the interactions are time designated.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the accounting data includes the interactions, and wherein the interactions affect future speculations, agreements, commitments, and values.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the accounting data includes the interactions, and wherein the interactions affect assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, expenses and profits.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing the accounting data from the perspective of the participant.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification criteria includes the participant'"'"'s interactions with other participants.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification criteria includes a change of the participants'"'"' location or activities.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification criteria includes a change of the relationship and resource items.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification criteria includes a change of the terms and conditions.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification criteria includes a change of the accounting data.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification criteria includes alerts regarding changes to the relationship and resource items.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification criteria includes alerts regarding changes to the terms and conditions.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the modification criteria includes alerts regarding changes to the accounting data.

16. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

learning, by the one or more servers, the participant'"'"'s activities and accounting patterns; and

utilizing the learned activities and accounting patterns to suggest new interest items, new relationship and resource items and new stuff.

17. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

learning, by the one or more servers, the participant'"'"'s activities and accounting patterns; and

utilizing the learned activities and accounting patterns to modify the interest items, the relationship and resource items and the stuff.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic devices comprise:

one or more processors;

one or more storage devices connected to the processor; and

one or more displays connected to the processor.

19. A method for providing real-time accounting in an interactive communications environment, the method comprising the steps of:

providing one or more electronic devices configured to communicate over a communications network;

providing one or more servers configured to provide interactive data to the electronic devices over the communications network and to control the interactive data and to coordinate participant activities via the electronic devices over the communications network;

authenticating one or more participants by the electronic devices; and

modifying the interactive data based on one or more modification criteria;

providing real-time accounting data based upon the participant'"'"'s activities, interests, relationships and resource items, wherein the accounting data is organized and associated with entities of relationships and resource items for the participant in real-time, and

wherein the accounting data is associated with and identifies and distinguishes the entity'"'"'s participants'"'"' interactions in real-time;

modifying the accounting data based upon alterations to interactions,

wherein the accounting data tracks the entity'"'"'s participants'"'"' interactions in real-time.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising organizing the accounting data on a desktop of the electronic devices.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein the interactions are time designated.

22. The method of claim 19, wherein the alterations to the interactions are time designated.

23. The method of claim 19, wherein the accounting data includes future speculations, agreements, commitments, and values.

24. The method of claim 19, wherein the accounting data includes assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, expenses and profits.

25. The method of claim 19, wherein visibility and transparency for an entity'"'"'s participant is dependent on relationship and resource items.

26. The method of claim 19, wherein an entity'"'"'s participant is heirarchially determined by the entity'"'"'s relationship and resource items to another entity.

27. The method of claim 19, wherein the modification criteria includes a change of the entity'"'"'s participants'"'"' activities.

28. The method of claim 19, wherein the modification criteria includes an alteration of the interest items.

29. The method of claim 19, wherein the modification criteria includes an alteration of the relationship and resource items.

30. The method of claim 19, wherein the modification criteria includes an alteration of stuff.

31. The method of claim 20, wherein the modification criteria includes the entity'"'"'s participants'"'"' interactions with other participants.
