Abstract
Embodiments relate to dynamically establishing and reconfiguring connection channels. More specifically, performance metrics for each agent may be quantitatively assessed, complementary agents may be identified based on the performance metrics, and connection channels may be established between the complementary agents. Performance metrics may continue to be monitored, and connection channels may be reconfigured so as to improve individual agents' metrics or a cluster of agents' metrics.
Claims20
A system for facilitating establishment of wireless data-conference channels or wired-channel connections and transmitting data, the system comprising:
- a performance-monitoring subsystem that, for each of a plurality of agents:
- detects an output associated with the agent from a device;
- and
- identifies a metric that is indicative of a type of performance based on the output;
- a connection controller subsystem that:
- detects, based on the identified metrics, an inter-agent metric discrepancy between a first metric indicative of the type of performance and a second metric indicative of the type of performance, the first metric being associated with a first agent of the plurality of agents and the second metric being associated with a second agent of the plurality of agents;
- and
- facilitates establishment of a wireless data-conference channel or connection through routing through a wired channel between a first device associated with first agent and a second device associated with the second agent;
- and
- a content delivery subsystem that:
- identifies a set of data based on the first metric, the set of data corresponding to an electronic content object;
- and
- transmits the set of data to each of the first device and to the second device.
A method for facilitating establishment of wireless data-conference channels or wired-channel connections and transmitting data, the method comprising:
- for each of a plurality of agents:
- detecting an output associated with the agent from a device;
- and
- identifying a metric that is indicative of a type of performance based on the output;
- detecting, based on the identified metrics, an inter-agent metric discrepancy between a first metric indicative of the type of performance and a second metric indicative of the type of performance, the first metric being associated with a first agent of the plurality of agents and the second metric being associated with a second agent of the plurality of agents;
- facilitating establishment of a wireless data-conference channel or connection through routing through a wired channel between a first device associated with first agent and a second device associated with the second agent;
- identifying a set of data based on the first metric, the set of data corresponding to an electronic content object;
- and
- transmitting the set of data to each of the first device and to the second device.
A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions configured to cause one or more data processors to perform actions including:
- for each of a plurality of agents:
- detecting an output associated with the agent from a device;
- and
- identifying a metric that is indicative of a type of performance based on the output;
- detecting, based on the identified metrics, an inter-agent metric discrepancy between a first metric indicative of the type of performance and a second metric indicative of the type of performance, the first metric being associated with a first agent of the plurality of agents and the second metric being associated with a second agent of the plurality of agents;
- facilitating establishment of a wireless data-conference channel or connection through routing through a wired channel between a first device associated with first agent and a second device associated with the second agent;
- identifying a set of data based on the first metric, the set of data corresponding to an electronic content object;
- and
- transmitting the set of data to each of the first device and to the second device.
