  • Remote configuration of intelligent software agents
    Patent number: 7925984
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to intelligent software agents. Each agent has an associated user interface panel through which the agent may be configured/customized. A remotely located user desiring to configure a particular agent issues a request for the associated user interface panel. The user interface panel may be provided to the user via, for example, a network connection. The user may then make the desired changes to the agent via the user interface panel. In this way, remote configuration of an agent is possible.
    Type: Grant

  • Mechanism for intelligent user interface presentation of a software agent
    Patent number: 7721218
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to intelligent software agents. Agents are interfaced with through user interfaces that are generated according to the agent's intelligence. In one aspect, the interfaces are dynamically and programmatically generated in response to a request from a user desiring to interface with a particular agent. In this way, the interface may be generated in real time according to the applied intelligence of the agent. Interfaces may also be updated periodically and, in this way, be available prior to a user's request.
