Patent ID: 7610253

Claim:
One or more computer readable media having processor executable instructions for implementing a multiple user system for customized facilitation and documentation of user thinking about an arbitrary problem, comprising: instructions to facilitate user specification of at least one of an at least one problem and an at least one conclusion, or both; instructions to facilitate specification of knowledge, related to at least one of the at least one problem specification or the conclusion specification, or both; to populate a knowledge structure; instructions to manage linkages of the at least one knowledge structure and at least one of the at least one problem, the at least one conclusion, or both; instructions to persuade multiple user interactions with at least one of the facilitations to a set of interactions within a predefined set of interaction sequences, wherein the predefined set of interactions define an archetype process for user thinking about at least one arbitrary problem; Customization instructions to modify at least one of the facilitation of user specification, facilitation of problem specification, facilitation of conclusion specification, facilitation of knowledge specification, interactions, sequences of interactions, interaction sequences, components of the user model, display and output, or any combination thereof, to provide a customized archetype process for user thinking about the problem; At least one of instructions to display, instructions to store and instructions to output at least a subset of at least one resulting user structure, or any combination thereof; instructions to allow at least one user to share the at least one of display, stored, or output of at least a subset of a resulting user structure with at least one other user.
