Game theoretic prioritization system and method

Abstract

A method for transferring virtual wealth using an automated communication network, comprising: providing a wealth generation function which, when automatically evaluated, defines a change of virtual wealth over time of an agent having a communications port configured to interface with the automated communication network; evaluating the wealth generation function with at least one automated processor, to define the change in virtual wealth from a current state of virtual wealth to a subsequent state of virtual wealth; and transferring ownership of at least a portion of the virtual wealth dependent on the subsequent state of virtual wealth, through the communications port, in consideration of an automated transaction.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for transferring virtual wealth using an automated communication network, comprising:
 providing an automated agent having an associated wealth function which, when automatically evaluated, defines a virtual wealth of the automated agent, an automated processor, a memory, and a communications port configured to interface with the automated communication network;   evaluating the wealth function with at least one automated processor, to define a state of the virtual wealth of the agent, and storing an indication of the state of the virtual wealth in the memory; and   automatically transferring information defining ownership of at least a portion of the state of virtual wealth, through the communications port, in consideration of an automated transaction.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the wealth generation function is adapted to define virtual wealth which changes in value as a function of time with respect to virtual wealth defined at a different time. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising the step of transferring at least a portion of a capability to generate virtual wealth through the communications port. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the automated transaction has a valuation with respect to the virtual wealth determined by a market supply and a market demand associated with the automated transaction. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising a memory configured to store market information relevant to a subjective valuation by the agent of the automated transaction, further comprising processing the stored market information by the automated processor of the automated agent to negotiate the automated transaction according to a subjective value of the automated agent. 
     
     
         6 . An agent apparatus, comprising:
 an interface to an automated communication network;   a memory configured to store parameters of an assigned wealth generation function for generating a virtual cryptocurrency, received from the communication network; and   an automated processor configured to control a transfer a representation of the virtual cryptocurrency generated by the wealth generation function through the communication network in consideration of a transaction.   
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , further comprising a memory configured to store subjective market information communicated between agents through the communication network, wherein the transaction is an automated transaction valued subjectively by the automated processor selectively in dependence on the stored subjective market information. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the communication network comprises an ad hoc communications network, and the transaction comprises an auction. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the transaction comprises assignment of a right to control over at least one automated resource portion of the automated communication network. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the transaction comprises an allocation of an automated resource outside of the agent apparatus. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein units of the virtual cryptocurrency generated by the wealth generation function have a value which varies with respect to at least one parameter. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein units of the virtual cryptocurrency generated by the wealth generation function has a value of cryptocurrency units which vary as a function of time. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the transaction allocates at least one supply-constrained opportunity within an ad hoc network. 
     
     
         14 . A method for determining mobility conditions within a network of mobile transceivers, comprising:
 receiving information representing at least estimated mobility conditions of a plurality of transceivers at a recent time within a geographic relevance zone of a respective mobile transceiver;   determining a proposed route to a destination of a respective mobile transceiver based on at least: the location of the respective mobile transceiver; the destination of the respective mobile transceiver; and the estimated location and mobility condition of each of a plurality of respective transceivers at recent times along possible routes between the location and the destination; and   presenting a representation of the transmitted information and the proposed route on a human user interface of a navigation system associated with the respective mobile transceiver.   
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 14 , wherein the information representing at least the estimated mobility conditions of the plurality of transceivers at the recent time within the geographic relevance zone of the respective mobile transceiver are received from a database server. 
     
     
         16 . The method according to  claim 14 , wherein the information representing at least the estimated mobility conditions of the plurality of transceivers at the recent time within the geographic relevance zone of the respective mobile transceiver are received through a cellular data network. 
     
     
         17 . The method according to  claim 14 , wherein the proposed route to the destination is further determined based on at least the estimated location and mobility condition of each of a plurality of respective transceivers at historical times along possible routes between the location and the destination. 
     
     
         18 . The method according to  claim 14 , further comprising receiving a message from a second respective mobile transceiver addressed to the respective mobile transceiver. 
     
     
         19 . The method according to  claim 14 , further comprising presenting an advertisement on the human user interface of the navigation system based on at least the proposed route. 
     
     
         20 . The method according to  claim 14 , further comprising storing a set of user route preferences, and determining the proposed route to the destination further based on at least the stored user route preferences.
