Collaborative multi-agent system for dynamic management of electronic services in a mobile global network environment
First Claim
1. A computer implemented electronic services management system for a mobile communications network, said system embodied on at least one memory and executed by at least one processor, said system comprising a distributed network of agents in the form of collaborative autonomous software agents, said agents being configured to represent and act on behalf of a user wherein said agents communicate with each other to manage for said user one or more electronic services comprising one or more of electronic messages, services, and requests, wherein one or more communications devices of said user receives, forwards, or generates said electronic services, said agents comprising multiple types of agents comprising at least one primary personal agent, a primary creation agent configured for creating others of said agents including one or more subordinate agents and a primary destruction agent configured for destroying an agent meeting pre-determined criteria comprising a threshold value in relation to an agent value coefficient, said agents being configured for collaboration together using a private user whiteboard facility whereby collaborating agents post addressed electronic services, including service tasks to be performed for said user, to said whiteboard and extract electronic services from said whiteboard which are addressed to them, to share content and information, to request services from the other agents, to receive services from the other agents, and to deliver services to the other agents or to said user.

Abstract
A computer-readable electronic services management system for a mobile communications network, comprising a distributed network of agents in the form of collaborative autonomous software agents wherein the agents are configured to represent and act on behalf of a user and to communicate with each other to manage, for the user, one or more electronic services (e.g. electronic messages, a purchase etc.) via the user'"'"'s communications devices. Multiple types of agents include a primary personal agent, a primary creation agent for creating other agents and subordinate agents, and a primary destruction agent for destroying agents meeting pre-determined criteria based on a threshold value in relation to an agent value coefficient. Collaboration between agents is by a private user whiteboard facility whereby collaborating agents post to the whiteboard addressed electronic services, including service tasks to be performed for the user, and extract from the whiteboard electronic services addressed to them.
