`ABSTRACT
`
`An apparatus for transmitting, receiving and manipulating
`information on a computer system, the apparatus including
`a plurality of containers, each container being a logically
`defined data enclosure and comprising an information
`element, a plurality of registers, and a gateway. The plurality
`of registers, form part of the container, and include a first
`register for storing a unique container identification value; a
`second register having a representation designating time and
`governing interactions of the container with other
`containers, systems or processes according to utility of
`information in the information element relative to an
`external-to-the-apparatus event time; an active time register
`for identifying times at which the container will act upon
`other containers, processes, systems or gateways; a passive
`time register for identifying times at which the container can
`be acted upon by other containers, processes, systems or
`gateways; and a neutral time register for identifying times at
`which the container may interact with other containers,
`processes, systems or gateways. Additional registers desig(cid:173)
`nate space for container interactions.

`SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING
`AND MANIPULATING INFORMATION
`CONTAINERS WITH DYNAMIC REGISTERS
`
`This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Appl. 5
`No. 60/073,209, filed Jan. 30, 1998.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`The present invention relates generally to computer sys(cid:173)
`tems in a multi-user mainframe or mini computer system, a
`client server network, or in local, wide area or public
`networks, and in particular, to computer networks for cre(cid:173)
`ating and manipulating information containers with dynamic
`interactive registers in a computer, media or publishing
`network, in order to manufacture information on, upgrade
`the utility of, and develop intelligence in, a computer
`network by offering the means to create and manipulate
`information containers with dynamic registers.
`2. Description of the Related Art
`In the present day, querying and usage of information
`resources on a computer network is accomplished by indi(cid:173)
`viduals directing a search effort by submitting key words or
`phrases to be compared to those key words or phrases
`contained in the content or description of that information
`resource, with indices and contents residing in a fixed
`location unchanging except by human input. Similarly, the
`class of storage medium upon which information resides, it
`class and subclass organizational structures, and its routes of
`access all remain fundamentally unaltered by ongoing user
`queries and usage. Only the direct and intended intervention
`of the owner of the information content or computer hosting
`site changes these parameters, normally accomplished
`manually by programmers or systems operators at their own
`discretion or the discretion of the site owner.
`There exists currently in the art a limited means of
`interfacing a computer user with the information available
`on computer networks such as the world wide web.
`Primarily, these means are search engines. Search engines
`query thousands or tens of thousands of index pages per
`second to suggest the location of information while the user
`waits. While factual information can be accessed, the more
`complex, particular or subtle the inquiry, the more branches
`and sub-branches need to be explored in a time consuming
`fashion in order to have any chance of success. Further, there
`are no such automatic devices that reconstruct the informa(cid:173)
`tion into more useful groupings or makes it more accessible
`according to factors attached to the content by the content
`creator such as the space or time relevancy of its content, or
`factors attached to the content by the system's compilation
`and analysis of the accumulated biography of that specific
`content's readership.
`The utility of wide area and public computer networks is
`thus greatly limited by the static information model and
`infrastructure upon which those networks operate.
`One problem is that on a wide area or public network,
`specific content such as a document remains inert, except by
`the direct intervention of users, and is modified neither by
`patterns or history of usage on the network, or the existence
`of other content on the network.
`Another problem is that content does not reside in an
`information infrastructure conducive to reconstruction by
`expert rule-based, fuzzy logic, or artificial intelligence based 65
`systems. Neither the intelligence of other information users
`nor the expert intelligence of an observant network com-
`
`15
`
`2
`puter system can be utilized in constructing, or
`re-constructing information resources. Where content
`resides in a fixed location and structure, "information"
`becomes something defined by the mind of the information
`provider rather than the mind of the information user, where
`the actual construction and utility of information exists.
`Information remains, like raw ore, in an unrefined state.
`Another problem is that the class of storage medium upon
`which data resides cannot be system or user managed and
`10 altered according to the actual recorded and analyzed hier(cid:173)
`archically graded usage of any given information resource
`residing on that storage medium except by statistical analy(cid:173)
`sis of universal, undefined "hits" or visits to that page or site.
`Another problem is that information resource groupings
`remain fixed on the given storage medium location accord(cid:173)
`ing to the original installation by the resource author, not
`altered according to the actual recorded and analyzed hier(cid:173)
`archically graded usage of that given information resource.
`Content itself remains inert, with no possibility of evo
