  • Publication number: 20230205767
    Abstract: A system and method are presented to improve the speed of shared network processing by filtering data using a filter list. The filter list filters the data submitted for analysis to the server system. Some data is processed locally, but the filtered data is processed at the server system. The local systems process similar data, but they use distinct data hierarchies to classify the data. Hierarchy designations are utilized in the filter list to filter the data. Rules establish a unified hierarchy that is translated to local hierarchies in the filter lists. Tags are established at the server for exceptions. Tags are translated into data identifiers for inclusion in the filter lists. The size of the filter list is reduced by avoiding redundancies between the tagged data identifiers and the local hierarchy designations. The filter list creation process also creates pre-analysis data at the server to assist in its analysis.
