Platform System

Abstract

In a networkable platform system for collecting and processing information in a network comprising a plurality of real access-authorized contributors, new processing procedures and a new analysis of information are made possible by the feature to the effect that the information on the platform is formed by a plurality of dual units, wherein each dual unit comprises a public discussion and a predefinable processing criterion assigned to said public discussion.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A networkable platform system for collecting and processing information in a network comprising a plurality of real access-authorized contributors, characterized in that the information on the platform is formed by a plurality of dual units, wherein each dual unit comprises a public discussion and a predefinable processing criterion assigned to said public discussion. 
     
     
         2 . The system as defined in  claim 1 , characterized in that a processing criterion is realized in form of an electronic filter, enabling an identification of processing themes and processing criteria by means of predefined keywords and agglomerations of predefined keywords. 
     
     
         3 . The system as defined in  claim 1 , characterized in that each contributor can gain access to the dual units, in order to make each public discussion processable by each contributor in the light of the processing criterion assigned to each public discussion. 
     
     
         4 . The system as defined in  claim 3 , characterized in that a dual unit can be partitioned to form two or more dual units by assignment of at least one further processing criterion to a first public discussion on the part of one of the contributors. 
     
     
         5 . The system as defined in  claim 3 , characterized in that a dual unit can be partitioned to form two or more dual units by assignment of at least one further public discussion to a first processing criterion on the part of one of the contributors. 
     
     
         6 . The system as defined in  claim 1 , characterized in that each of the contributors has the possibility of an initial placement of a dual unit. 
     
     
         7 . The system as defined in  claim 1 , characterized in that the number of real access-authorized contributors is a subset of a total number of potential access-authorized contributors and a filter with predefinable criteria can be placed between the subset of the real access-authorized contributors and the total number of potential access-authorized contributors. 
     
     
         8 . The system as defined in  claim 1 , characterized in that the contributors constitute persons. 
     
     
         9 . The system as defined in  claim 8 , characterized in that said processing criteria relate to age, sex, education, and regional origin of said persons. 
     
     
         10 . The system as defined in  claim 8 , characterized in that a subset can be formed from the subset of the real access-authorized contributors by means of a stochastic process controlled by a random sequence generator. 
     
     
         11 . The system as defined in  claim 10 , characterized in that the size of the subset during a predefinable period of time is controllable such that the subset, starting from a predefinable initial size, increases in size with time within said period of time. 
     
     
         12 . The system as defined in  claim 10 , characterized in that the size of the subset during a predefinable period of time is controllable such that the subset, starting from a predefinable initial size, decreases in size with time within said period of time. 
     
     
         13 . The system as defined in  claim 1 , characterized in that said platform includes at least one electronic storage chip and also at least one electronic processor chip for processing the information stored on said at least one storage chip. 
     
     
         14 . The system as defined in  claim 13 , characterized in that said contributors have the possibility of gaining access to the information stored on said at least one storage chip by means of decentralized electronic units connected to said platform system via the Internet.
