Summary

The invention related to a tool for producing financial plans which uses AI to generate modified financial plans relating to a financial goal based on lifestyle preferences of the user and corresponding to one of a set of financial strategies. The plans are ranked and the financial strategy corresponding to the highest ranked plan is displayed to the user, who may accept or reject it. The system repeats the progress for the plan relating to the accepted strategy until the financial goal is met. The hearing officer found that the invention was excluded from patentability as a method of doing business and a program for a computer as such. He therefore refused the application.
