System and method for defining attributes, decision rules, or both, for remote execution, claim set I
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- defining, via a client computing device at a client site, a set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules, wherein the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules are to be applied to a data provider'"'"'s data comprising a plurality of credit records corresponding respectively to a plurality of consumer credit profiles;
associating a unique identifier with the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules;
transmitting the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules associated with the unique identifier to a data provider computer system located at a data provider'"'"'s site;
receiving, via the client computing device at the client site, result data, wherein (a) the result data is generated by the data provider computer system applying the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules to at least a portion of the data provider'"'"'s data to identify a plurality of credit records corresponding respectively to a plurality of consumer credit profiles from the data provider'"'"'s data satisfying the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules, and (b) the result data comprises at least a portion of each credit record of the plurality of credit records from the data provider'"'"'s data satisfying the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules.

Abstract
A system of the invention comprises a design module, execution engine, and performance management module. A first computer hosts the design module which enables a user to define attributes, queries, and decision rules transmitted to the execution engine hosted on a second computer remote to the first computer. The second computer can be located at a credit bureau, credit reporting agency, or other data provider. The second computer runs the execution engine to query a data repository with the user-defined attributes and queries, and applies the user-defined decision rules to produce result data transmitted to a third computer hosting the performance management module for monitoring performance of a benefit or offering made with the result data and the corresponding attributes, queries, and decision rules that generated the result data.

10. A client computing device at a client site, comprising one or more memory storage areas and one or more processors, the client computing device configured to:
-
define a set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules, wherein the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules are to be applied to a data provider'"'"'s data comprising a plurality of credit records corresponding respectively to a plurality of consumer credit profiles; associate a unique identifier with the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules; transmit the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules associated with the unique identifier to a data provider computer system located at a data provider'"'"'s site; receive result data, wherein (a) the result data is generated by the data provider computer system applying the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules to at least a portion of the data provider'"'"'s data to identify a plurality of credit records corresponding respectively to a plurality of consumer credit profiles from the data provider'"'"'s data satisfying the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules, and (b) the result data comprises at least a portion of each credit record of the plurality of credit records from the data provider'"'"'s data satisfying the set of one or more attributes and one or more decision rules.
