Decentralized Expert System for Network-Based Crowdfunding

摘要

The invention relates to an expert system (10) having at least one central processing unit (K*) and having first and second processing units (K″, R) that can be determined by software download to client computers (C) that are connected via a network (WWW), wherein the expert system (10) is set up, based on a modeled transfer function for input data (E), to generate associated output data (A) and output them to connected client computers (C), wherein the expert system (10) is set up to record direct and/or indirect interactions of a user (N) of a client computer (C) as input data (E), wherein the expert system (10) has at least one server computer (S) with the central processing unit (K*), wherein the server computer (S) is set up to connect via the network (WWW) to a client computer (C) after a software download of the distributable first and second processing units (K″, R) onto the client computer (C), the latter occurring by means of a data-communicating connection, wherein the distributable second processing units (R) are configured to connect as peers to client computers (C) that are connected to the server computer (S) via the network (WWW) with a data-communicating connection, and—based on first input data derived from the respective user of the client computer (C) and second input data transmitted by other client computers (C)—to transmit a change in the output data (A) derived by the first processing unit (K″) to the server computer (S), and to transmit second input data derived by the second processing unit (R) to all of the other connected client computers (C), wherein the server computer (S) is set up to receive the derived change in the output data (A) from all of the connected client computers (C) and to use them as input data for the central processing unit (K*) in order to derive current values of the output data (A) and to transmit them to all of the connected client computers (C) again.

主权项

1. An expert system having at least one central processing unit and having first and second processing units that can be distributed by software download to client computers that are connected via a network,
wherein the expert system is set up, based on a modeled transfer function for input data, to generate associated output data and output them to connected client computers, wherein the expert system is set up to record direct and/or indirect interactions of a user of a client computer as input data, wherein the expert system has at least one server computer with the central processing unit, wherein the server computer is set up to connect via the network to a client computer after a software download of the distributable first and second processing units onto the client computer, the latter occurring by means of a data-communicating connection, wherein the distributable second processing units are configured to connect as peers to client computers that are connected to the server computer via the network with a data-communicating connection, and—based on first input data derived from the respective user of the client computer and second input data transmitted by other client computers—to transmit a change in the output data derived by the first processing unit to the server computer, and to transmit second input data derived by the second processing unit to all of the other connected client computers, wherein the server computer is set up to receive the derived change in the output data from all of the connected client computers and to use them as input data for the central processing unit in order to derive current values of the output data and to transmit them to all of the connected client computers again.
