Abstract

Broadcast and/or dedicated signals are generated and transmitted to one or more wired or wireless receiving stations. Signal receptions are qualified according to embedded code or compared to other predetermined specifications, and respectively forwarded as necessary to other circuits and devices, whether on-site or remote. Critical oversight of information and processes is executed by polled or polling devices or users, which interact with a predetermined array of intelligently-evolving queries or responses. In one embodiment of the present invention, one or more devices are polled as necessary for intelligence inputs and possible intervention in system processes. Users input responses or directives into a three-button device integrated into the side of a telephone handset: the three buttons corresponding ergonomically with the three middle fingers of the user's favored hand. The user is thereby enabled to articulate an interface with a polled or polling device, with a minimal degree of distraction from events in the surrounding environment. Users or proxy monitoring devices are allotted the option of more or less immediate involvement in the system's oversight and management, depending on developing events or lack thereof. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the three aforementioned buttons, or 'triggers', correspond to electronically-activated analog or digital switches which detected signals encoded in the program intelligence. These triggers may report the following options in terms of the user/device availability or intention of impending intervention: (1) deferred or delayed interaction, (2) limited, qualified, or intermediate interaction, or (3) full or formulative interaction.
