Abstract: A method operable at a device to trigger on observable events, to evaluate a process, to present a flow to an end-user, to record the end-user's responses, and transmit the responses to a server. A Resident Intelligence serves all of the instances of end-user interface clients with Decision Logic. Decision Logic determines when data should be transmitted, which flows to launch to capture data, and evaluates conditions under which flow should be launched. Based on the results of the end-user interaction replies, data collection profiles are enabled, disabled, or modified.

Abstract: A method for performing combinations of functions which can heuristically modify the functional components of the machine, separate such functional components down to the device level, and optimize the distribution of information between the functional components, by defining the domains for the network, acquiring data for each domain at each of a plurality of points in time, creating repetition clusters by looking for combinations of data that recur, identifying action to be performed based on the repetition clusters; and acquiring data from the consequences of actions performed.
