Abstract

A system for determining an instruction in a first time limit that can be executed by an executing system is disclosed. The system is configured to request proposed action regarding an event from each of a plurality of operator systems. In some embodiments, the system can calculate a score for each of the proposed actions received from the plurality of operator systems. The system can then automatically determine an instruction in a first time limit based on the calculated scored and command the executing system to execute the instruction.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented system for determining an instruction in a first time limit that can be executed by an executing system, the system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

a non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing instructions configured for execution by one or more computer processors in order to cause the system to;

request proposed actions regarding an event from each of a plurality of operator systems;

receive proposed actions from the plurality of operator systems, wherein the proposed actions are based at least on data corresponding to an environment associated with the event;

for each operator system provide a proposed action, determine a weighting associated with the operator system based on one or more parameters of the operator systems, the parameters comprising one or more of a proximity of the operator system to an execution location, experience of an operator associated with the particular operator system in making decisions regarding other events of a similar type to the event,

calculate a score for each of the proposed actions received from the plurality of operator systems based on the respective determined weightings associated with the operator systems;

determine an instruction in a first time limit based on the calculated scores for each of the proposed actions received from the plurality of operator systems, said instruction configured to be executed by an executing system; and

command the executing system to execute the instruction within the first time limit that is based at least on one of the proposed actions received from the operator systems.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the instruction to calculate a score for each of the proposed actions received from the plurality of operator systems comprises:

simulate results for each of the proposed actions; and

calculate a score based on the simulated results.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the system to select plurality of operator systems based on one or more parameters of the operator systems, the parameters comprising one or more of a proximity of the operator system to an execution location, experience of an operator associated with the particular operator system in making decisions regarding other events of a similar type to the event.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the first time limit comprises real time.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the first time limit comprises less than or equal to one minute.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the environment associated with the event includes an operating room environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including patient data.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the environment associated with the event includes a securities transaction environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including stock market data.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the environment associated with the event includes a military environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including field data.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the environment associated with the event includes a military environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including field data from a system on the field.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the environment associated with the event includes a factory environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including machine data.

11. A method of determining an instruction in a first time limit that can be executed by an executing system, the method comprising:

requesting proposed actions regarding an event from each of a plurality of operator systems;

receiving proposed actions from the plurality of operator systems, wherein the proposed actions are based at least on data corresponding to an environment associated with the event;

for each operator system providing a proposed action, determining a weighting associated with the operator system based on one or more parameters of the operator systems, the parameters comprising one or more of a proximity of the operator system to an execution location, experience of an operator associated with the particular operator system in making decisions regarding other events of a similar type to the event,

calculating, using one or more hardware processors, a score for each of the proposed actions received from the plurality of operator systems based on the respective determined weightings associated with the operator systems;

determining an instruction in a first time limit based on the calculated scores for each of the proposed actions received from the plurality of operator systems, said instruction configured to be executed by an executing system; and

commanding the executing system to execute the instruction within the first time limit that is based at least on one of the proposed actions received from the operator systems.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein calculating, using one or more hardware processors, a score for each of the proposed actions received from the plurality of operator systems comprises:

simulating results, using one or more hardware processors, for each of the proposed actions; and

calculating, using one or more hardware processors, a score based on the simulated results.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising selecting plurality of operator systems based on one or more parameters of the operator systems, the parameters comprising one or more of a proximity of the operator system to an execution location, experience of an operator associated with the particular operator system in making decisions regarding other events of a similar type to the event.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the first time limit comprises real time.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the first time limit comprises less than or equal to one minute.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the environment associated with the event includes an operating room environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including patient data.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein the environment associated with the event includes a securities transaction environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including stock market data.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein the environment associated with the event includes a military environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including field data.

19. The method of claim 11, wherein the environment associated with the event includes a military environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including field data from a system on the field.

20. The method of claim 11, wherein the environment associated with the event includes a factory environment, said data corresponding to the environment associated with the event including machine data.
