  • Hierarchical script database and database applications
    Patent number: 12664142
    Abstract: A tree database includes nodes organized as one or more tree data structures. The nodes contain both function and data properties in the form of script files in an interpreter environment. The database is event-driven. Responsive to an event, a node can spawn a new child node in the tree, which contains a data item associated with the event, enabling the tree database to grow as events and data arrive. Query events, initialization, and purging are also supported. Example applications of a communication appliance, an educational quiz, and a music database are provided.
