Abstract

A thinking system and method is provided by the present invention. In the present invention, the “thinking” system is capable of accepting information from outside environment, analyzing the information, requesting additional information, and then resulting the problem. More particularly, the system can make new rules according to the information within the system and the new information received and requested. The rule making process is not controlled by outside command, but by an internal controlling mechanism that can be modified by the outside commands. Further, the system comprises a knowledge structure that can be used by the system for analyzing the inputted information, making request for additional information, making new rules, and solving problems, wherein the knowledge structure comprises element files include direct link information of the elements with other elements of the element files in the knowledge structure.

Claims

1. A method for operating a human-made thinking system including one or more CPU'"'"'s, one or more I/O devices, and one or more memories, comprising the steps of :

(a) establishing in said one or more memories a knowledge structure comprising a file organizing mechanism, and more than one element file wherein each element file individually and separately includes identifying information and knowledge information corresponding to only one element;

wherein the identifying information categorizes and identifies the corresponding element, wherein the knowledge information includes knowledge about the corresponding element, wherein the knowledge is information related to at least one direct link of each element with one or more elements of the knowledge structure thus connects element to at least one other element;

(b) establishing a process structure comprising at least one process file;

(c) establishing an execution system comprising an internal control mechanism, and at least one thinking mode;

wherein the internal control mechanism includes at least one internal control rule, and at least one structure rule, wherein the thinking mode includes at least one corresponding thinking rule;

(d) running the executing system wherein the internal control mechanism can operate without human intervention wherein the thinking mode can be activated according o the internal control rules of internal control mechanism;

wherein according to the thinking rule, a direct link between a first existing element and a second existing element can be used to establish one or more new direct links between said first existing element and at least one other existing element that has an existing direct link with said second existing element;

wherein according to the thinking rule, process files can be used to establish new direct links between the existing elements, and store or output said new direct links as desired.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the executing system further comprises an inputting mode, a reading mode, a writing mode, a memorizing mode, an outputting mode, an inquiry mode, verification mode, and a system update mode;

wherein the inputting mode includes at least one inputting rule, wherein the reading mode includes at least one reading rule, wherein the writing mode includes at least one writing rule, wherein the memorizing mode includes at least one memorizing rule, wherein the outputting mode includes at least one outputting rule, wherein the inquiry mode includes at least one inquiring rule, wherein the verification mode includes at least one verification rule, wherein the system update mode includes system update rules;

wherein the internal control mechanism will operate the inputting mode, the reading mode, the thinking mode, the writing mode, the memorizing mode, the outputting mode, the inquiry mode, the verification mode according to the internal control rules of internal control mechanism.

3. A human-made thinking system including one or more CPU'"'"'s, one or more I/O devices, and one or more memories, comprising a knowledge structure, a process structure, and an executing system;

wherein the knowledge structure comprises a file organizing mechanism, and more than one element file wherein each element file individually and separately includes identifying information and knowledge information corresponding to only one element;

wherein the identifying information categorizes and identifies the corresponding element, wherein the knowledge information includes knowledge about the corresponding element, wherein the knowledge is information related to at least one direct link of each element with one or more other existing elements of said knowledge structure thus connects each element to at least one other element;

wherein the executing system comprises an internal control mechanism, and at least one thinking mode that, upon activation and without human intervention, establish one or more new direct links between said first existing element and at least one other existing element that has a direct link with a second existing element.

4. A human-made thinking system as claimed in claim 3, wherein the process structure further comprises at least one link process file.

5. A human-made thinking system as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a system log including at least one system log file.

6. A human-made thinking system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the executing system further comprises an inputting mode, a reading mode, a writing mode, a memorizing mode, an outputting mode, an inquiry mode, a verification mode, and a system update mode, wherein the internal control mechanism further comprises at least one internal control rule, and at least one structure rule.

7. A human-made thinking system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the inputting mode includes at least one inputting rule, wherein the reading mode includes at least one reading rule, wherein the thinking mode includes at least one thinking mode, wherein the writing mode includes at least one writing mode, wherein the memorizing mode includes at least one memorizing rule, wherein the outputting mode includes at least one outputting rule, wherein the inquiry mode includes at least one inquiry rule, wherein the verification mode includes at least one verification rule, wherein the system update mode includes at least one system update rule.

8. A knowledge structure for human-made thinking system includes one or more CPU'"'"'s, one or more I/O devices, and one or more memories, wherein the human-made thinking system includes an executing system, said knowledge structure residing in one or more of said memories, comprising a file organizing mechanism, and more than one element file wherein each element file individually and separately includes identifying information and knowledge information corresponding to only one element;

wherein the identifying information identifies and categorizes said corresponding element, wherein the knowledge information includes knowledge about the corresponding element, wherein the knowledge is information related to at least one direct link of each element with one or more other existing elements of said knowledge structure thus connects each element to at least one other element;

wherein the executing system comprising at least one thinking rule that, upon activation, and without human intervention, establish one or more new direct links between said first existing element and at least one other existing element that has a direct link with a second existing element.

9. A knowledge structure as claimed in claim 8, wherein the identifying information includes a first identification value indicating whether the element is a word, a phrase, or a symbol, a second identification value indicating which language is the word or phrase, a third identification value indicating the type of word or phrase, a fourth identification value indicating the class of word, and fifth identification value indicating the form of the word.

10. A knowledge structure as claimed in claim 9, wherein at least one of the elements is a word.

11. A knowledge structure as claimed in claim 9, wherein at least one of the elements is a phrase.
