Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a first information agent that is accessed by a first application operating on a first data processing system;
a first system configured for allowing selection of the first information agent and electronic relocation of the first information agent outside of the first application;
a second system configured for electronically determining if sufficient logic exists to allow the first information agent to operate in a new location;
the second system configured for contacting an agent server operating on a second data processing system to request the logic;
the second system configured for downloading and installing the logic; and
the first system and the second system configured for moving the first information agent to the new location.
