Multicast expert system information dissemination systems and methods making use of artificial intelligence are provided. The systems and methods include a wireless device for receiving RF multicast information messages from a content provider wherein said information is descriptive of objects potentially of interest to users of the device. Received multicast messages may include information parameters about objects of potentially interest to the user. The wireless device also includes a knowledge base prestored in the wireless device descriptive of the user's level of interest in various objects. Artificial intelligence expert system control is used to evaluate a combination of the user's level of interest in the object information and distance from the user to the location where the object may be obtained. The artificial intelligence expert system derives a user advisory action index. In one embodiment the artificial intelligence may be implemented using fuzzy logic inference engine apparatus.
A method of artificial intelligence expert system analysis and evaluation of remote opportunities or situations of interest to a mobile user and available from a remote content provider comprising:
The method of 7 wherein said multicast advisory messages are simultaneously disseminated throughout the network to a selected group of mobile users without being made available to other mobile users including those that maybe located within radio frequency range of said selected group of mobile users.
The method of 7 wherein information for said multicast advisory messages is organized in a remote content provider database of layered information with more detailed information available in the lower layers of the database.
The method of 12 wherein information for a first multicast advisory message is filtered to limit transmitted information to that from the highest-level layers of said remote content provider database and is sufficient to determine a particular mobile user's interest in an opportunity or situation of interest to said mobile user and available from said remote content provider.
The method of 13 wherein said first multicast advisory message filtering assists the mobile user in evaluation of that opportunity or situation without requiring unnecessary user attention to received information from said remote content provider that may be of lesser interest.
The method of 14 wherein after receiving filtered said first multicast advisory message, said mobile user contacts said remote content provider only if further information descriptive of the opportunity or situation of interest is desired.
The method of 15 wherein said multicast advisory message dissemination comprises voice communications to said mobile users describing opportunities or situations presented by said remote content provider, answering questions from said mobile user, or providing other further information to said mobile users.
