Patent number: 11782946Abstract: An operations integration processor mapping information in a language-independent data format to a tag format for integration with a tag-based control and data acquisition system. The operations integration processor receives a response from a web service and parses the response to identify one or more attribute-value pairs contained in the response. The response contains information in a language-independent data format different than a tag format. The processor maps the parsed response to one or more tags, which have at least one of a name and a value based on the information provided in the response associated with them.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: AVEVA SOFTWARE, LLCInventors: Yuk Ming Fong, Alvaro Martinez, John Ralph Bartlett

Patent number: 11409760Abstract: An operations integration processor generating tag names from an array of objects in a language-independent data format different than a tag format for integration with a tag-based control and data acquisition system. The operations integration processor receives a response from a web service and parses the response to identify one or more objects and corresponding values in the array contained in the response. The response includes an array of objects and is in a language-independent data format different than a tag format. The processor configures a selected object of the array to act as a unique index for the array of objects and generates one or more tag names from the parsed response. The tag names each represent a tag having at least one of an object and a value associated with it based on the information provided in the response. The generated tag names include the selected object in an array index part thereof.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: AVEVA SOFTWARE, LLCInventors: Alvaro Martinez, John Ralph Bartlett, Yuk Ming Fong
