NEGOTIATION DEVICE, NEGOTIATION SYSTEM, NEGOTIATION METHOD, AND NEGOTIATION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032404 titled 'NEGOTIATION DEVICE, NEGOTIATION SYSTEM, NEGOTIATION METHOD, AND NEGOTIATION PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system that helps an agent in planning and executing actions to achieve a specific objective. The system takes into account offers from other agents as constraints and calculates the optimal execution plan based on the agent's policy.
- The system calculates the first value, which represents the optimal execution plan, considering the constraints of an offer from another agent.
- A utility function is used to determine the value of the execution plan when the offer is accepted.
- The system compares the value calculated by the utility function to a predetermined threshold value.
- If the value is greater than the threshold, the system accepts the offer from the other agent.
- If the value is equal to or less than the threshold, the system rejects the offer from the other agent.
Original Abstract Submitted
An execution planning means calculates, with an offer from another agent as a constraint condition, a first value which is a value of an optimal execution plan up to achievement of an objective planned based on a state transition by an action taken according to a policy of an own agent. A determination means determines, with the first value as an argument, whether or not a value calculated by a utility function, which is a function defining a utility of an execution plan of the own agent when the offer from the other agent is accepted, is greater than a predetermined threshold value. The determination means determines to accept the offer from the other agent when the value is greater than the threshold value, and determines to reject the offer from the other agent when the value is equal to or less than the threshold value.
