SCHEDULE AND LOCATION RESPONSIVE AGREEMENT COMPLIANCE CONTROLLED INFORMATION THROTTLE

摘要

Controls electronic devices and/or throttles electronic devices and/or information for electronic devices based on agreements or events and/or based on schedule, location, time, or any combination thereof. An agreement includes condition(s) to satisfy the agreement, such as task(s) or activities to be performed by an agreement performer, for example based on a schedule and/or location, at a particular time, or time period, or, or events that may be detected, and actions performed to enforce or assert the agreement. Actions may include controlling the electronic device and/or at least partially enabling/disabling or otherwise limiting, reducing or increasing the amount or type of information allowed with respect to any or all electronic devices associated with the agreement performer. Embodiments may reduce or block information from particular sources during a scheduled school class to limit web surfing for information related to that class based on a schedule and/or location of the electronic device.

1. A schedule and location responsive agreement compliance controlled information throttle comprising:
an agreement database stored in a memory of a computer wherein said agreement database comprises
an agreement stored in said memory comprising an agreement creator and an agreement performer wherein said agreement comprises
a first unique identifier associated with said agreement performer;a second unique identifier associated with said agreement creator;a condition comprising at least one of
an activity associated with homework or a test to be performed by said agreement performer andan event associated with an environmental event comprising data related to any combination of weather, temperature, allergy, pollen or smog alert;an action to be performed based on compliance with said condition; wherein said agreement database comprises a first condition having a first activity that is independent of input into at least one electronic device by said agreement performer; an activity database comprising at least one of
activity status associated with said activity of said condition to be satisfied by said agreement performer wherein said activity status comprises a homework completion status associated with said homework or a grade value associated with said test anda schedule associated with said agreement performer; an agreement monitor coupled with said agreement database and said activity database and configured to at least one of
check if said condition has been satisfied based on said activity status to determine said compliance andcheck if said condition has been satisfied based on said event associated with said environmental event comprising said data related to any combination of said weather, temperature, allergy, pollen or smog alert; an information monitor configured to determine monitored information associated with said at least one electronic device that is associated with said agreement performer; an information throttle coupled at least intermittently with said agreement monitor and optionally at least intermittently with said information monitor and configured to perform said action, to at least partially increase or at least partially decrease information input, output, used on or exchanged with said at least one electronic device; wherein said action is based on at least one of
said activity,said event,a location associated with said at least one electronic device,the schedule associated with said agreement performer,the location of said at least one electronic device and the schedule associated with said agreement performer; wherein said action is further configured to direct said information throttle to at least partially increase or decrease a performance of said at least one electronic device through at least one of
an insertion of at least one time delay between at least one of
an acceptance of an input of said information,a display of said information,a transfer of said information to or from said at least one electronic device, such that based on if said condition has been satisfied and during use of said at least one electronic device by said agreement performer;a change in a performance setting of said at least one electronic device comprising at least one of
a decrease or increase of a display resolution of a display,a decrease or increase of a brightness level of the display,a change in a color space of the display,a decrease or increase of a sound quality,a decrease or increase in an allowed volume on said electronic device;a change in an access setting to said information to enable access to said information allowed at the location,
allowed by the schedule associated with said agreement performer,allowed by the location and the schedule associated with said agreement performer; wherein said information throttle is configured to perform at least one of
if said activity comprising said test grade or said homework completion status is equal to or above a predefined value then said information throttle performs said at least partially increase in said performance;if said event comprising said weather, temperature, allergy, high pollen count or smog alert event is detected then said information throttle performs said at least partially increase in said performance;if said activity comprising said test grade or said homework completion status is below said predefined value then said information throttle performs said at least partially decrease in said performance;if said event comprising said weather, temperature, allergy, high pollen count or smog alert event is not detected then said information throttle performs said at least partially decrease in said performance; and, wherein said at least one electronic device comprises a plurality of electronic devices, and said action is performed across said plurality of electronic devices associated with said agreement performer, comprising a telephone, a computer, a music player, a game or a television or a remote control or an appliance or any combination thereof and
wherein said agreement monitor is configured to sum said monitored information from each respective information monitor into a combined monitored information total; and,wherein said information throttle is configured to limit said monitored information on each of said plurality of electronic devices based on said combined monitored information total.
