  • Method of storing, maintaining and distributing computer intelligible electronic data
    Patent number: 6931408
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method of storing, maintaining, and distributing computer intelligible electronic data that substantially reduces the cost and complexity of traditional database management systems. The present invention provides a unstructured database capable of efficiently accessing and storing electronic data, regardless of the data's structure. Instead of slotting incoming data into a predefined rigid storage structure, the present invention analyzes the inherent structure of the incoming data. Based upon the results of this analysis, the unstructured database of the present invention generates a storage model using tokenized symbology representing the inherent structure of the data. The tokenized symbology of the present invention is utilized to provide immediate access to each data field in a given record.

  • System and method for analyzing computer intelligible electronic data
    Publication number: 20020111936
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of analyzing electronic data that eliminate the need for externally sourced descriptions, thus reducing the time and expense associated with manual creation of data file descriptive information. The present invention is capable of automatically analyzing one or more incoming data files, generating information descriptive of the structure of each data file and producing output data similar or identical in structure to the incoming data file(s) for use in subsequent applications.
