Supervisory control by non-humans
First Claim
1. A method for execution of functions by a non-human being, said functions consistent with the abilities of the non-human being, the method comprising:
- providing a sensor in a remote environment that is remote from the non-human being in a local environment;
generating a signal with the sensor that represents a characteristic of the remote environment;
transmitting the signal to the local environment;
transforming the signal into a secondary signal with a computer, wherein the nature of the secondary signal is such that the natural abilities of the non-human being are better suited to detecting and/or processing the secondary signal than the natural abilities of a human being;
exposing the non-human being to the secondary signal; and
monitoring a reaction of the non-human being to the secondary signal.

Abstract
Execution of functions by a non-human being is achieved by providing the non-human being with an I/O interface for receiving information, and permitting the non-human being to execute functions consistent with the abilities of the non-human being. An input/output interface is used to provide the non-human being with sensory information and to accept control information from the non-human being. An input/output processing system converts signals communicated through the input/output interface. An operation control interface is used for controlling the functions executed by the non-human being.
