Rule-based, run-time-alterable, client-agnostic client-server system
First Claim
1. A machine in data communication with at least one remote computing device configured at least as a user interface, the machine comprising:
- Storage containing non-compiled, non-linked rules each relating at least one of a plurality of events to at least one associated action;
First logic configured for monitoring the non-compiled, non-linked rules, where monitoring the non-compiled and non-linked rules includes checking for an event, taking an action associated with the event, and auditing the event and action, where the monitoring provides desired functionality on the at least one remote computing device upon an event; and
Second logic configured to selectively implement an authorized rule change changing a non-compiled, non-linked rule and storing the changed rule in storage, where changing the non-compiled, non-linked rule is done in run-time and provides changed functionality on the at least one remote computing device upon an event, where the changed functionality corresponds to the authorized rule change when processed by the first logic.

Abstract
A machine is disclosed in data communication with at least one remote computing device configured as a user interface, for example. The machine may include first logic to process non-compiled, non-linked rules providing desired functionality on a remote computing device upon the occurrence of an event. The machine may also include second logic to selectively implement an authorized rule change changing a non-compiled, non-linked rule and storing the changed rule in storage. Changing the non-compiled, non-linked rule may be accomplished in run-time and provide changed functionality on the remote computing device upon an event.

16. A server in data communication with at least one client configured at least as a user interface, the server comprising:
-
Storage containing non-compiled, non-linked rules each relating one of a plurality of events to an associated action; First logic configured for processing rules without compiling the rules, where processing the rules includes;
monitoring the rules by checking for an event, taking an action associated with the event, and auditing the event and action, providing desired system functionality;Second logic configured to selectively implement an authorized rule change and store the authorized rule change in storage, where processing the authorized rule change is done in run-time and provides changed system functionality based on the authorized rule change; and Input logic configured for receiving data communication from the client initiating an event. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A client-server system comprising:
-
A client computing device configured at least as a user interface; and A server comprising; storage containing non-compiled, non-linked rules each relating at least one of a plurality of events to at least one associated action; first logic configured for monitoring the non-compiled, non-linked rules, where monitoring the rules includes checking for an event, taking an action associated with the event by a rule, and auditing the event and action, where the event, action and audit provide desired system functionality; second logic configured to selectively implement an authorized rule change and store the authorized rule change in storage, where processing the authorized rule change is done in run-time and provides changed system functionality based on the authorized rule change; input logic configured for receiving data communication from the client; and output logic configured for data communication to the client. - View Dependent Claims (20)
