Adaptive fuzzy network system and method
First Claim
1. An adaptive fuzzy network system, comprising:
- a computer-implemented fuzzy network comprising a plurality of objects, wherein two objects of the plurality of objects have one or more relationships types, and one or more relationships associated with each relationship type, each relationship being uni-directional or bi-directional, and each direction of each relationship has an associated relationship indicator, wherein the relationship indicators associated with each direction are not necessarily the same magnitude;
a usage aspect comprising usage behaviors of one or more users associated with the fuzzy network;
a first function to generate a recommendation for delivery to a user based, at least in part, on inferred interests of the user derived from the said usage behaviors;
a second function to specify security for a subset of the fuzzy network; and
a third function to modify a subset of the fuzzy network in accordance with the specified security.

Abstract
A system and method of adaptive fuzzy networks is disclosed. Fuzzy networks comprise a network of computer-based objects and relationships among the objects, where the relationships may be by degree. The adaptive fuzzy network system provides functions for user interactions with the fuzzy network, including functions to modify the fuzzy network and to provide security and privacy controls. The adaptive fuzzy network system also provides functions to generate recommendations based, at least in part, on usage behaviors associated with the fuzzy network. Usage metrics associated the fuzzy network and its subsets are generated by the adaptive fuzzy network system, including metrics associated with people derivatively based on objects with which they are associated.

14. A computer-based adaptive fuzzy network method, comprising:
-
interacting with a computer-implemented fuzzy network comprising a plurality of objects, wherein two objects of the plurality of objects have one or more relationships types, and one or more relationships associated with each relationship type, each relationship being uni-directional or bi-directional, and each direction of each relationship has an associated relationship indicator, wherein the relationship indicators associated with each direction are not necessarily the same magnitude; contributing a behavior to a usage aspect comprising usage behaviors of one or more users associated with the fuzzy network; applying a fuzzy network navigation-assisting recommendation based, at least in part, on inferred interests derived from the said usage behaviors; specifying security for a subset of the fuzzy network; and modifying a subset of the fuzzy network in accordance with the specified security. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
