System and method for an automated benefit recognition, acquisition, value exchange, and transaction settlement system using multivariable linear and nonlinear modeling
First Claim
1. An incentive-controlled method for use in the acquisition and/or exchange of user-declared preferred benefits, said method employing computer means having data storage means and network communications means and comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving a request to produce an incentive-controlled transaction solution for an identified user having at least one declared and ranked benefit preference;
(b) Conducting a real time scan of benefit resources, said resources comprising at least one **previously unknown** resource proffering **at least one** benefit element to said user, upon receipt of said request to produce an incentive-controlled transaction solution;
(c) dynamically matching said user'"'"'s **said at least one** declared benefit preference to the result of said real time scan; and
(d) Automatically effecting an incentive-controlled transaction solution adapted to maximize the implementation of said user'"'"'s said **at least one** declared benefit preference.

Abstract
A system and process that provides an on-line, interactive, and fully integrated benefit-driven value exchange and settlement program that monitors, evaluates, and manages economic and personal benefits and executes functions to produce and acquire the maximum or preferred benefit items for users by guiding and automating appropriate payment and settlement actions. The present invention finds useful patterns in data; produces conclusions based on rules and experience; responds to environmental changes with or without human intervention; and, may evolve through selecting the best results from random mutations all of which are intended to maximise user value.

25. A system for creating and employing incentive-controlled transaction solutions by dynamically selecting the means for processing a transaction based on user-declared preferred benefits, said system comprising:
-
(a) a processor; (b) an input device connected to said processor; (c) an output device connected to said processor; (d) a clock device connected to said processor; (e) a logic and control device connected to said processor; (f) a memory connected to said processor storing instructions to control the operation of said processor; (g) a communications device connected to said processor; (h) a data storage device connected to said processor; (i) the processor operative with the instructions in memory to; i. record data of users, benefit elements, transaction solutions, and transactions; ii. record the user entry and ranking of at least one declared benefit preference; iii. receive requests to process transactions; iv. enable information to be available to users; v. Perform **a** real time scan of benefit resources, including at least one **previously unknown** benefit resource proferring **at least one** benefit element to a user upon submitting a request to process a transaction, upon system receipt of a request to process a transaction concerning said user; vi. conduct automatic evaluations and rankings of at least one available benefit element based on a said user'"'"'s declared and ranked benefit preferences and on a said scanning of benefit resources; vii. produce at least one incentive-controlled transaction solution; viii. conduct automatic evaluations and rankings of at least one transaction solution based on a user'"'"'s declared and ranked benefit preferences and on a said scanning of benefit resources; ix. process transaction solutions with and without user intervention; x. disclose information to users; xi. consummate transactions; and
,xii. receive, record, evaluate, and store user information and transaction activity.

26. A system for creating and employing incentive-controlled transaction solutions by dynamically selecting the means for processing a transaction based on user-declared preferred benefits, said system comprising:
-
(a) means for recording data of users, benefit elements, transaction solutions, and transactions; (b) means for recording the user entry and ranking of at least one declared benefit preference; (c) means for receiving requests to process transactions; (d) means for enabling user access to information; (e) Means for processing a transaction adapted to dynamically match a user'"'"'s at least one declared benefit preference against a real time scan of benefit resources, including at least one **previously unknown** benefit resource proferring **at least one** benefit element to said user upon submitting a request to process a transaction, upon system receipt of a request to process a transaction concerning said user; (f) means for conducting automatic evaluations and rankings of at least one available benefit element based on a said user'"'"'s declared and ranked benefit preferences and on a said scanning of benefit resources; (g) means for producing at least one incentive-controlled transaction solution; (h) means for conducting automatic evaluations and rankings of at least one transaction solution based on a user'"'"'s declared and ranked benefit preferences and on a said scanning of benefit resources; (i) means for processing transaction solutions with and without user intervention; (j) means for disclosing information to users; (k) means for consummating transactions; and
,(l) means for receiving, recording, evaluating, and storing user information and transaction activity.
