This communication permits flow of information and actions between the expert system an...

An interactive local and wide area network system is for communications between the restaurant service elements providing service to a customer and for recording of selected related service data for real time information and for review and analysis and for management control. The wide area network uses distributed data processing for the collection and analysis of related area wide restaurant operations for use in management and control.

In a method for determining whether a person is potentially unavailable for communication, sensors are provided at a location to obtain information regarding a state of availability for communication of a first person at the location. The information regarding potential unavailability of the first person for communication is presented to a second person. A system for determining whether a person is potentially unavailable for communication includes a data acquisition module that has sensor recei...
