Mobile decision support system
First Claim
1. A method of mobile decision making, the method comprising:
- configuring hotspot information in a database, the hotspot information representative of an issue, problem or event and comprising identification of a specific user the hotspot information is for, a response template tailored for use by the identified specific user to formulate a response to the hotspot information, and data;
checking the database for hotspot information as a function of a request generated by a mobile communication device, the request comprising identification of the user the hotspot information is specified for;
transmitting the hotspot information over a network to the mobile communication device that generated the request as a function of the user identified in the request; and
receiving a response to the hotspot information from the mobile communication device, wherein the response includes indication of a recipient, other than the user, that the response is to be transmitted to, and indication of a reply channel to transmit the response to the recipient, both of which were provided in the response template and were selectable by the user.

Abstract
A mobile decision support system for proactive decision support of an enterprise includes at least one server computer, at least one mobile communication device and at least one client system in operable communication over a network. The server computer includes a database. The client system may interface with the server computer and direct the configuration of hotspot information in the database. The hotspot information includes identification of a user, a response template and/or data. The mobile communication device may periodically request hotspot information from the server computer as a function of the user operating the mobile communication device. Based on the request, the hotspot information may be transmitted over the network to the mobile communication device. The user may generate a response to the hotspot information with the mobile communication device by selections within the response template. The response may be transmitted to recipients selected with the response template through reply channels also selected with the response template.
