Intelligent Data Management System and Method

Abstract

An intelligent data management system and method are disclosed. The system includes a database of stored data, a middleware layer having access to the stored data, and at least one client device for remotely accessing a provided course of action. The middleware layer includes a fuzzy logic knowledge base for generating, updating, or firing fuzzy logic rules and a fuzzy logic inference engine for processing the stored data guided by the fuzzy logic rules to provide the course of action.

1 . An intelligent data management system comprising:
 a database of stored data;   a middleware layer having access to the stored data, the middleware layer including:
 a fuzzy logic knowledge base for generating, updating, or firing fuzzy logic rules; and 
 a fuzzy logic inference engine for processing the stored data guided by the fuzzy logic rules to provide a course of action; and 
   at least one client device for remotely accessing the provided course of action.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the client devices is a wireless device. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 2 , further including a gateway to facilitate wireless access to the middleware layer from a wireless client device leveraging existing wireless networks. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , further including a load balancer for balancing loads between client devices and the middleware layer. 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 1 , further including an integrated billing component. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 2 , further including an integrated billing component. 
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 3 , further including an integrated billing component. 
     
     
         8 . The system according to  claim 4 , further including an integrated billing component. 
     
     
         9 . An intelligent data management method comprising the steps of:
 (i) accessing stored data;   (ii) providing a course of action using the accessed data by:
 a) generating, updating, or firing fuzzy logic rules; and 
 b) processing the stored data using fuzzy logic inference guided by the fuzzy logic rules; and 
   (iii) remotely accessing the provided course of action.   
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 9 , further including the step of wirelessly connecting at least one client device. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 10 , further including the step of leveraging existing wireless networks to provide a gateway that facilitates wireless access to the middleware layer from a client device. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 9 , further including the step of balancing loads between client devices and the middleware layer using a load balancer. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 9 , further including the step of integrating a billing component. 
     
     
         14 . An intelligent data management system comprising:
 a module for accessing stored data;   a module for providing a course of action using the accessed data including:
 a module for generating, updating, or firing fuzzy logic rules; and 
 a module for processing the stored data using fuzzy logic inference guided by the fuzzy logic rules; and 
   a module for remotely accessing the provided course of action.   
     
     
         15 . A computer program product for implementing an intelligent data management method, the computer program product comprising:
 a computer readable medium for storing machine-executable instructions for use in the execution in a computer of the method, the method including the steps of:
 accessing stored data; 
 providing a course of action using the accessed data by:
 generating, updating, or firing fuzzy logic rules; and 
 processing the stored data using fuzzy logic inference guided by the fuzzy logic rules; and 
 
 remotely accessing the provided course of action.
