`(54) Title: SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING AND MANIPULATING INFORMATION CONTAINERS WITH DYNAMIC
`REGISTERS
`
`(57) Abstract
`
`A system for creating and
`manipulating information con-
`tainers with dynamic registers
`on a multi—user computer sys-
`tem. or computer network com-
`prises an interactive information
`container, a container editor, a
`search interface, a user profile,
`system—wide hierarchical con-
`tainer gateways (site 7), interac-
`tive and evolving container reg-
`isters, a data collection means,
`a data reporting means, an anal-
`ysis engine with editor, an ex-
`ecuting engine with editor, and
`a means of communicating with
`other computers, computer net-
`works, or digital—based public
`or published media. The con-
`tainer editor provides an author-
`ing user with the capacity to en-
`capsuiate any information com-
`ponent such as a file, set. data-
`base, network, event or process,
`and a set of parameters of mul-
`tiple container registers to gov-
`ern the interaction of that con-
`tainer with other containers or
`processes. The container regis-
`ters include system-defined, system—alterab1e, user—defined and user—alterabie registers.

`
`SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING AND MANIPULATING
`
`INFORMATION CONTAINERS WITH DYNAMIC REGISTERS
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`
`The present invention relates generally to computer systems 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 creating 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 individuals 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
`
`infonnation 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
`
`l0
`
`15
`
`class and subclass organizational structures, and its routes of access all remain fundamentally
`
`20
`
`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
`
`25
`
`30
`
`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
`
`information 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 conter1t’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
`
`10
`
`systems. Neither the intelligence of other infon-nation users not the expert intelligence of an
`
`observant network
`
`computer 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 act
