Patents by Inventor Eddie Sheehy

Eddie Sheehy has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240134836
    Abstract: The invention relates to electronic indexing, and more particularly, to the indexing, in a cloud, data held in a cloud. Systems and methods of the invention index data by accessing the data in place in the cloud and breaking a job into work items and sending the work items to multiple cloud processes that can each determine whether to index data associated with the work item or to create a new work item and have a different cloud process index the data. Each cloud process is proximal to an item that it indexes. This gives the system scale as well as an internal load-balancing.

  • Patent number: 11200249
    Abstract: Systems and methods for electronic data indexing support user-side scripting through an application program interface (API). In some aspects, a user-script generates target data using third party software programs. The user-script sends parameters through the API to an indexing engine. The parameters identify the target data to the indexing engine for processing, analyzing, and performing operations.

  • Patent number: 10826930
    Abstract: This invention provides systems and methods for data processing by means of an ongoing background process on an end-user's computer. As a user receives and generates data, files are analyzed. A container file is opened into the volatile memory and its contents (including data and metadata) are extracted, without requiring an index to be created. The extracted components are analyzed based on predefined characteristics.

  • Patent number: 10572515
    Abstract: The invention relates to electronic indexing, and more particularly, to the parallelization of indexing. Systems and methods of the invention index data archives by breaking a job into work items and sending the work items to multiple processors that can each determine whether to index data associated with the work item or to create a new work item and have a different processor index the data. This gives the system an internal load-balancing that results in indexing jobs during which no processor stands idle while another processor indexes data of unexpected complexity.

  • Patent number: 10185717
    Abstract: A system and method for parallelizing document indexing in a data processing system. The data processing system includes a primary processor for receiving a list of data having embedded data associated therewith, at lest one secondary processor to process the data as provided by the primary processor, a data processor to determine a characteristic of the embedded data and process the embedded data based upon the characteristic, and a messaging module to exchange at least one status message between the primary processor and the at least one secondary processor.
