Abstract

A business model is provided wherein a consumer is in control of their own information. Consumer data may be controlled, for example, by a single personal system or by a plurality of systems acting in the interest of the person. A method is provided for differentiating between ownership and control of data, allowing more flexibility in distributing and controlling data. Further, a distributed system architecture is provided to distribute consumer data among a portable device and a plurality of general-purpose computer systems. The system may employ agents that perform transactions on behalf and in the best interests of the user while keeping personal data within the ownership and control of the person. A manager is provided to manage agents created by the system. In one aspect, a metadatabase is used to manage these agents. The portable device may also include a natural language user interface (NLUI or NLI) to enhance the ease of use. The portable device may use, for instance, a natural language query processor that minimized storage and processing required on the portable device.
