Patent ID: 8010664

Claim:
A computationally-implemented system in the form of a machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, comprising: means for acquiring events data including data indicating incidence of a first one or more reported events and data indicating incidence of a second one or more reported events, at least one of the first one or more reported events and the second one or more reported events being associated with a user, wherein said means for acquiring events data including data indicating incidence of a first one or more reported events and data indicating incidence of a second one or more reported events, at least one of the first one or more reported events and the second one or more reported events being associated with a user comprises: means for receiving at least one of the data indicating incidence of a first one or more reported events and the data indicating incidence of a second one or more reported events; means for determining an events pattern based selectively on the incidences of the first one or more reported events and the second one or more reported events; and means for developing a hypothesis associated with the user based, at least in part, on the determined events pattern.
