`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 apassive
`t1me reg1ster for 1dent1fy1ng times at wh1ch the conta1ner 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-

`SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING
`AND MANIPULATING INFORMATION
`CONTAINERS WITH DYNAMIC REGISTERS
`
`This application claims benefit of US. Provisional Appl.
`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-
`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-
`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-
`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-
`
`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
`systems. Neither the intelligence of other information users
`nor the expert intelligence of an observant network com-

`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
`altered according to the actual recorded and analyzed hier-
`archically graded usage of any given information resource
`residing on that storage medium except by statistical analy-
`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-
`ing to the original installation by the resource author, not
`altered according to the actual recorded and analyzed hier-
`archically graded usage of that given information resource.
`Content itself remains inert, with no possibility of evolution.
`A further problem with the prior art is that neither the
`search templates generated by those more knowledgeable in
`a given field of inquiry, nor the search strategies historically
`determined to be successful, or system-constructed accord-
`ing to analyses of search strategies historically determined to
`be successful, are available to inquiring users. A search
`template is here defined as one or more text phrases,
`graphics, video or audio bits, alone or in any defined outline
`or relational format designed to accomplish an inquiry.
`Internet or wide area network search may return dozens of
`briefs to a keyword or key phrase inquiry sometimes requir-
`ing the time-consuming examination of multiple informa-
`tion resources or locations, with no historical relation to the
`success of any given search strategy.
`A further problem is that there is limited means to add to,
`subtract from, or alter the information content of documents,
`databases, or sites without communicating with the owners
`or operators of those information resources, e. g., contacting,
`obtaining permission, negotiating and manually altering,
`adding or subtracting content. Additionally, once so altered,
`there is not a means to derive a proportionate value, and
`thereby a proportionate royalty as the information is used.
`A final problem is that the physical residence of a body of
`data or its cyberspace location may not serve its largest body
`of users in the most expedient manner of access. Neither the
`expert intelligence of other information users nor the expert
`intelligence of an observant computer system is presently
`utilized by inherent network intelligence to analyze,
`re-design and construct access routes to information medium
`except by statistical analysis of universal, undefined “hits”
`or visits to that page or site.
`Therefore, there is a need for a system and methods for
`creating and manipulating information containers with
`dynamic interactive registers defining more comprehensive
`information about contained content in a computer, media or
`publishing network, in order to manufacture information on,
`upgrade the utility of, and develop intelligence in, a com-
`puter network by providing a searching user the means to
`utilize the searches of other users or the historically deter-
`mined and compiled searches of the system, a means to
`containerize information with multiple registers governing
`the interaction of that container, a means to reclassify the
`storage medium and location of information resources resi-
`dent on the network, a means to allow the reconstruction of
`content into more useful formations, and a means to recon-
`struct the access routes to that information.

`oping intelligence in, a computer or digital network, local,
`wide area, public, corporate, or digital-based, supported, or
`enhanced physical media form or public or published media,
`or other by offering the means to create and manipulate
`information containers with dynamic registers.
`The system of the present invention comprises an input
`device, an output device, a processor, a memory unit, a data
`storage device, and a means of communicating with other
`computers, network of computers, or digital-based, sup-
`ported or enhanced physical media forms or public or
`published media. These components are preferably coupled
`by a bus and configured for multi-media presentation, but
`may also be distributed throughout a network according to
`the requirements of highest and best use.
`The memory unit advantageously includes an information
`container made interactive with dynamic registers, a con-
`tainer editor, a search interface, a search engine, a search
`engine editor, system-wide hierarchical container gateways
`interacting with dynamic container registers, a gateway
`editor, a register editor, a data collection means with editor,
`a data reporting means with editor, an analysis engine with
`editor, an executing engine with editor, databases, and a
`means of communicating with other computers as above.
`These components may reside in a distributed fashion in any
`configuration on multiple computer systems or networks.
`The present invention advantageously provides a con-
`tainer editor for creating containers, containerizing storing
`information in containers and defining and altering container
`registers. A container is an interactive nestable logical
`domain configurable as both subset and superset, including
`a minimum set of attributes coded into dynamic interactive
`evolving registers, containing any information component,
`digital code, file, search string, set, database, network, event
`or process, and maintaining a unique network-wide lifelong
`identity.
`The container editor allows the authoring user to create
`containers and encapsulate any information component in a
`container with registers, establishing a unique network life-
`long identity, characteristics, and parameters and rules of
`interaction. The authoring user defines and sets the register
`with a starting counter and/or mathematical description by
`utilizing menus and simple graphing tools or other tools
`appropriate to that particular register. The registers deter-
`mine the interaction of that container with other containers,
`system components, system gateways, events and processes
`on the computer network.
`Containers and registers, upon creation, may be universal
`or class-specific. The editor provides the means to create
`system-defined registers as well as the means to create other
`registers. The editor enables the register values to be set by
`the user or by the system, in which case the register value
`may be fixed or alterable by the user upon creation. Register
`values are evolving or non-evolving for the duration of the
`life of the container on the system. Evolving registers may
`change through time, space, interaction, system history and
`other means.
`
`System-defined registers comprise: (1) an historical con-
`tainer register, logging the history of the interaction of that
`container with other containers, events and processes on the
`network, (2) an historical system register, logging the history
`of pertinent critical and processes on the network, (3) a point
`register accumulating points based upon a hierarchically
`rated history of usage, (4) an identity register maintaining a
`unique network wide identification and access location for a
`given container,
`(5) a brokerage register maintaining a
`record of ownership percentage and economic values, and
`others.

`The present invention also includes user-defined registers.
`User defined registers may be created wholly by the user and
`assigned a starting value, or simply assigned value by the
`user when that register is pre-existent
`in the system or
`acquired from another user, and then appended to any
`information container, or detached from any container.
`Exemplary user-defined registers comprise (1) a report
`register, setting trigger levels for report sequences, content
`determination and delivery target, (2) a triple time register,
`consisting of a range, map, graph,
`list, curve or other
`representation designating time relevance, actively, assign-
`ing the time characteristics by which that container will act
`upon another container or process, passively, assigning the
`time characteristics by which that container be acted upon
`by another container or process, and neutrally, assigning the
`time characteristics by which that container will interact
`with another container or process, (3) a triple space register,
`consisting of a range, map, graph,
`list, curve or other
`representation designating the domain and determinants of
`space relevance, actively, assigning the space characteristics
`by which that content will act upon another container or
`process, passively, assigning the space, characteristics by
`which that content will be acted upon by another container
`or process, and neutrally, assigning the space characteristics
`by which that container will interact with another container
`or process, (4) a domain of influence register, determining
`the set, class and range of containers upon which that
`conta
