Abstract

Enables data mining of monitored information, activities, and agreements associated with a throttling system. An agreement includes one or more conditions to satisfy the agreement, such as one or more tasks or activities to be performed by an agreement performer or events that may be detected, and actions performed to enforce or assert the agreement such as controlling the electronic device and/or enabling or disabling or otherwise limiting, reducing or increasing the amount or type of information allowed with respect to any or all electronic devices associated with the agreement performer.

Claims

1. A data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle comprising:

an agreement database comprising

an agreement comprising an agreement creator and an agreement performer wherein said agreement comprises

a first unique identifier associated with said agreement performer;

a second unique identifier associated with said agreement creator;

a condition to be satisfied by said agreement performer or an event;

an action to be performed based on compliance with said condition by said agreement performer or said event;

an activity database comprising activity status associated with said condition to be satisfied by said agreement performer;

a monitored information database comprising monitored information associated with an electronic device that is associated with said agreement performer;

a computer configured to present an interface to query said agreement database, said activity database and said monitored information database and return a result of said query.

2. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said condition comprises an activity to be performed by said agreement performer.

3. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said condition comprises an activity to be performed by said agreement performer and a time at which said activity is due.

4. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said action comprises one or more of

a time limit that limits an amount of time that said monitored information may be displayed on said electronic device,

a numerical limit that limits a number of data entries associated with said monitored information,

a web limit that limits access to a website associated with said monitored information,

an application limit that limits access to an application associated with said monitored information,

a game limit that limits game parameters associated with said monitored information,

a television limit that limits a television program or channel associated with said monitored information,

a monetary transfer,

a notification,

a setting of a control parameter for said electronic device to control an apparatus coupled with said electronic device.

5. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said activity database comprises activities related to schoolwork, chores, extracurricular activities or compliance with a requirement or any combination thereof.

6. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said activity database comprises a school information system.

7. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said activity status comprises information related to completion of an activity assigned to said agreement performer.

8. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said monitored information comprises any combination of a telephone time usage, a number of telephone calls, a telephone number, a number of text messages, a location of said electronic device, a speed of said electronic device, a website address, a computer application, a game, a television channel, an image captured from said electronic device, an image captured from a camera coupled with said electronic device, a speed, an orientation, a distance, an acceleration, or a location of said electronic device.

9. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said electronic device comprises a telephone, a computer, a music player, a game or a television or a vehicle computer or a remote control or an appliance any combination thereof.

10. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said query result comprises:

a reward optionally comprising a product manufacturer or product identifier associated with said action wherein said reward is a result of compliance with said condition for at least one agreement performer.

11. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said query result comprises:

a suggested reward for said agreement creator to give to said agreement performer based on a location entered in said query.

12. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said query result comprises:

a rating that indicates how strict said agreement creator is with respect to other agreement creators.

13. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said query result comprises:

a tip or suggestion for said agreement creator to increase performance of said agreement performer based on a second action associated with another agreement performer and activity information related to another agreement performer.

14. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said query result comprises:

a tip or suggestion for said agreement creator to increase healthiness of said agreement performer based on a second action associated with another agreement performer and activity information related to another agreement performer.

15. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said query result comprises:

a derivative of a grade point average to determine if said agreement performer is increasing or decreasing in performance with respect to actions associated with said agreement performer.

16. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said query result comprises:

an indication of attention deficit disorder or ADD based on said monitored information or said activity status.

17. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said query result comprises:

an indication of lack of physical activity or increased physical activity based on changes in incentives associated with said action.

18. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said query result comprises:

a derivative of game reaction time as an indication of health of said agreement performer.

19. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said computer comprises a web interface.

20. The data mining system for agreement compliance controlled information throttle of claim 1 wherein said computer comprises a mobile phone.
