<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make rights determinations normally made by a human operator. <P>SOLUTION: A rules engine program is driven by one or more stored "rules" in a storage area to make determinations; that are whether a request for a right can be granted, what price should be paid by a requestor and how much royalty should be paid to a rights holder. In order to avoid specific coding for each right, the rules and parameters necessary to make the required determinations are constructed to form a standard set of reusable rule records that can be linked in different ways to process different rights. Additional display rules that are linked to the type of use control a graphic user interface to decide whether the request can be granted, and prompt a user to input the information needed to display a determined price to the user when the request is granted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
