Wikipedia
A percept in the information technology industry is a term used in the pricing of data transfer. For example, rather than charging an individual (who is remotely retrieving data from say a weather sensor or a GPS device) by the size of the data, a company would charge that individual by the percept. Here a percept would constitute a statistical data point, such as a GPS location. Pricing per percept would mean that a customer or individual using that GPS device would actually be charged per unit of true economic value to him/her, a GPS location datapoint, rather than on the size of that datapoint in bits/ bytes/ kilobytes, etc.

- Percept (psychology) - a stimulus of perception.

A percept is the input that an intelligent agent is perceiving at any given moment. It is essentially the same concept as a percept in psychology, except that it is being perceived not by the brain but by the agent. A percept is detected by a sensor, often a camera, processed accordingly, and acted upon by an actuator. Each percept is added to a percept sequence, which is a complete history of each percept ever detected. An intelligent agent chooses how to act not only based on the current percept, but the percept sequence. The next action is chosen by the agent function, which maps every percept to an action.
For example, if a camera were to record a gesture, the agent would process the percepts, calculate the corresponding spatial vectors, examine its percept history, and use the agent program (the application of the agent function) to act accordingly.
Usage examples of "percept".
In political life, exclusionary legislation, attitudes toward race, the practices of medicine, law, and administration--the sciences contributing to and profiting from the Final Solution--may be understood as political actions, distinguished by delusional percepts regarding the status of Jews, their treatment, and the phobia of them.
Whenever he passes to the perception of another dog, he undoubtedly interprets this with the general ideas already obtained from this earlier percept of a dog.
To say, therefore, that to gain a concept he compares the qualities found in several individual things is not strictly true, for if his first percept becomes a type by which he interprets other dogs, his first experience is already a concept.
I am not referring here to that philosophical tradition which argues that the only true knowledge can be of my own interior world, of percepts and the present instant of consciousness which illuminates them, but to something more troubling.
The underlying metaphysical supposition here is that the real world conceived by science, beyond the veil of subjective appearances, exists independently of humans percepts and concepts.
The percept system in a sense is overperceiving, is presenting the self portion of the brain too much.
