Abstract

Internet-based software and associated database provide group analysis overlay to monitor client-server web traffic and provide direct marketing to client group. Client car, patient, office or school sensor and interface provides overlay attribute for database comparison to classify usage pattern, location, timing, or family for targeted messaging for enhanced service from server source. Database group registry tracks client classification and provides adaptive context mapping according to set attribute relative to targeted on-line transaction.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein:

the controller comprises an embedded processor comprising logic that is reconfigurable using an extensible markup language for providing access to a multi-media stream comprising at least part of the expert knowledge library.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein:

the first or second micro-machined probe controls a fluid mechanically for detecting DNA sequence therein.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein:

the controller compares the first and second DNA sequences to a sequence database for diagnosing a patient vital condition automatically according to an authorized medical insurance coverage of such patient.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein:

6. The system of claim 1 wherein:

the controller provides the access according to a search query that is subject to a filter for blocking expert knowledge.

7. Bio-sensor process for interactive digital television comprising steps of:

detecting by a first client interface coupled to a first micro-machined probe a first unique personal DNA sequence, such first client belonging in a network client group;

detecting by a second client interface coupled to a second micro-machined probe a second unique personal DNA sequence, such second client belonging in the network client group; and

providing by a controller coupled to the first and second client interfaces to a network appliance comprising an interactive digital television belonging to the network client group access to an electronic expert knowledge library that is contextually mapped to the first and second DNA sequences;

the controller adaptively causing the expert knowledge library to be accessed electronically via network-ready communications interface for multiple interactive digital televisions associated with one or more client interface by enabling local or remote network transmission of one or more telemedicine video stream including clinical, biometric, ambulatory, medical, consultation, and monitoring diagnosis provided to one or more such interactive digital televisions from a database pool of expert videos modified automatically by the controller to diagnose the first client or the second client according to the first unique personal DNA sequence or the second unique DNA sequence, such that said first or second client accesses his or her telemedicine video stream comprising expert clinical, biometric, ambulatory, medical, consultation, and monitoring diagnosis of said respective unique personal DNA sequence and thereby enable automated medical or patient remote or local contextually-mapped telemedicine services including genetically personalized health care video streams that are automated to adapt particularly to the first or second client unique personal DNA sequence by customizing his or her diagnostic telemedicine video stream services comprising personalized client record-forwarding, patient-communication and observation, patient vital measurements, and radiograph and diagnostic image-transmission, such adaptively modified telemedicine video stream being automatically customized for radiology, dental, cardiorespiratory, constitutional, dermatology, ear-nose-throat, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, gynecological, musculoskeletal and neuropsychiatric diagnosis via interactive digital television telemedicine video streaming adaptively modified according to said first or second unique personal DNA sequence.

8. The process of claim 7 wherein:
