Patent number: 8806398Abstract: A method for designing an electronic component includes receiving a device criteria (e.g., a parametric value, procurement value, etc.) from a designer, querying a database for devices corresponding to the device criteria, querying the database for procurement data and/or engineering data associated with the corresponding devices, presenting the devices to the designer based on the procurement data, and receiving input from the designer identifying one of the presented devices as a selected device. In a particular method, the returned devices are sorted based on one or more procurement values (e.g., manufacturer, price, availability, manufacturer status, etc.), and presented to the designer in a ranked list. Objects representative of the selected devices are then entered into a design file, and the objects are associated with the device's engineering and/or procurement data. In a particular embodiment, the objects are associated with the engineering data by embedding the engineering data in the file object.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2010Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Flextronics AP, LLCInventors: Nicholas E. Brathwaite, Ram Gopal Bommakanti, Visvanathan Ganapathy, Paul N. Burns, Douglas Edward Maddox, Michael Anthony Durkan
