  • Patent number: 4518267
    Abstract: An event-module is, on its lowest logical level, a universal instrument for measurement and storage of times, intervals, periods, time series and durations. It permits codification of personal and external events by means of time-marks and makes them accessible in the course of their realization. It permits the possibility of analyzing the serial structure and the correlation in time of these events in a most general way. The evolution of the present can instantaneously be compared with the anticipation of the future by use of external time-marks. Further, the introduction of a programmable dialog-logic which enables the user to find answers to specific questions of, e.g., his personal experiences is disclosed. The module helps in decisions and is not only a measurement device, but also a partner. Likewise, the module can act as an opponent of the user and e.g. sophisticated games may be played.
