Abstract: An intelligent agent (100) and method of negotiating incorporating a number of features, used alone or in combination, to enhance the productivity, security, efficiency and responsiveness of the agent (100) in negotiations with other parties. One feature where an agent (100) is resident on a remote system (60) and in communication with a client system (20) incorporates randomization of one or more aspects of an agent's (100) behaviour to disguise its negotiation strategy from other negotiating parties (95) and thereby prevent such parties from gaining a negotiating advantage at the expense of the agent (100). Another feature incorporates limiting unproductive negotiations by constraining one or more aspects of an agent's behavior based upon the behavior of a negotiating party (95) and/or the duration of the transaction.

Abstract: An intelligent agent and its client communicate using a selector known by both parties to generate and interpret messages and thereby effectively disguise confidential information transmitted in the messages from third parties. Moreover, a neural network is used to implement the decision logic and/or the message disguising functions of an agent such that the logic employed in such functions is not readily reverse compiled or scanned by third parties.

Abstract: The performance of a given computer task is optimized by utilizing a plurality of intelligent agents (42) suited to perform the computer task but having varied degrees of domain knowledge. Based upon an objective criteria that may be determined for a given situation, one of the plurality of intelligent agents (42) may be selected and dispatched to perform the task, thereby optimizing the performance of the computer task for a wide variety of situations.

Abstract: A censoring browser method and apparatus are provided for Internet viewing. A user profile (118A) including user selected censoring parameters (700) is stored. Data packet contents are received and compared with the user selected censoring parameters (700). Responsive to the comparison, the received data packet contents are processed and selectively displayed responsive to the user selected censoring parameters (700). The user selected censoring parameters (700) includes user selected censored words and word fragments (702), and user selected categories (706). Compared word and word fragments matching user selected censored words and word fragments (702) can be removed and selectively replaced with predefined characters or acceptable substitute words (712). Tallies of weights for user selected categories are accumulated (614) and compared with used selected threshold values (612). A predefined message can be displayed (318) responsive to an accumulated tally exceeding a user selected threshold value (316) without displaying the received data packet contents.

Abstract: The present invention uses three separate methods to provide the user with sounds that help the user understand where a particular current position is relative to an "location of interest" (LOI) within the viewable object. First, the user is able to use sound marks to mark specific LOIs within viewable objects so that the user may return to those LOIs at a later time. Second, the user is provided with view regions which aurally indicate the LOI of frequently used portions of the viewable object. Lastly, the user is given an aural indication of the current position of the position identifier relative to the viewable object as a whole. This is called relational positioning. Each type of aural LOI indication can be presented to the user regardless of how the user is moving through the viewable object.

Abstract: A client computer (102) with a scanner (118) capable of scanning objects (11 5) for a code (117). The client computer (102) scans the object (115) of interest and translates the code (117) into a URL (Uniform Ressource Locator) that specifies both a server computer (122, 160) and the location within the server of information that is relevant to t he object (115). The client computer (102) transmits the URL to the server computer (122, 160), receives the information related to the obje ct (115) from the server computer (122, 160), and communicates the information to the customer.
