Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 2:
3. A system comprising:
at least one computer;
a plurality of devices configured to execute instructions, wherein the instructions are provided by at least one computer; and a plurality of feedback devices configured to collect preference feedback input in substantially real time and at a substantially low transaction cost by permitting individual feedback to be actuated in a single action or in a single transaction; wherein the plurality of feedback devices are configured to forward the preference feedback to the at least one computer;
wherein the one single action or one single transaction may be actuated by an individual at periodic time intervals, predefined time intervals, random time intervals, substantially random time intervals or substantially any time; wherein the at least one computer performs one or more of the following:
(a) collects, stores, or a combination thereof, a first set of data comprising one or more of the following: the preference feedback from the plurality of feedback devices; a statistics regarding a time corresponding to when individual preference feedback was collected; a statistics regarding a time period corresponding to when the individual preference feedback was collected; a statistics regarding one or more times corresponding to when a plurality of preference feedbacks was collected; a statistics regarding one or more time periods corresponding to when the plurality of preference feedbacks was collected; and how many times an individual feedback device of the plurality of feedback devices collected the preference feedback;
(b) constructs at least one group preference model based at least in part on at least part of the first set of data and one or more other measured physical parameters, wherein the at least one group preference model is based at least in part on a set of variables that are not directly observable;
(c) provides instructions in periodic time intervals, in real time, in substantial real time or combinations thereof based on the at least one group preference model and on at least one measured physical parameter, wherein the instructions are directed to maintain modeled group preferences within a certain range or to move the modeled group preferences towards a certain range while keeping predetermined resource within predefined range; and
(d) corrects, if needed, at least one group preference model based at least in part on at least part of the first set of data and one or more other measured physical parameters, wherein the at least one group preference model is based at least in part on a set of variables that are not directly observable.
