Abstract: An autonomous and adaptive method and system for secure, policy-based control of remote and locally controlled computing devices. The invention uses a policy-based access control mechanism to achieve adaptive and dynamic behavior modification based on the context of the local operating environment of the computing device. The modification system assesses the desirability of actions or outcomes as determined by the policy rules and modifies them accordingly, thus altering the behavior of the computing device. The system can utilize a machine learning technique, pattern matching and heuristic evaluation. When applied to the control of robotic and autonomous devices, the system allows the robot to offload adjudication to a remote system and also facilitates cooperative behaviors between robots operating in dynamic environments.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a system and method to display contextual information, including data and messaging, based on a secure, policy-managed set of instructions for selecting, distributing, and presenting information on a device. The system accepts one or more streams of contextual information in any digital form from one or more data sources. The contextual information is assessed via a set of policy instructions that may include time, location, hierarchy of ownership, type of contextual information, assessed importance of the contextual information, and display availability. Only approved contextual information is transmitted to the device for display.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a system and method to display content, including data and messaging, based on a secure, policy-managed set of instructions for selecting, distributing, and presenting information on a device. The system accepts one or more streams of data in any digital form from one or more data sources. The content is assessed via a set of policy instructions that may include time, location, hierarchy of ownership, type of content, assessed importance of content, and display availability. Only approved content is transmitted to the device for display.
