Publication number: 20240160701Abstract: A central asset registry and associated satellite registries tie Digital Asset Management (DAM) repositories and satellite repositories into a unified enterprise system. The system removes rights and asset relationship tracking from the DAMs and the satellites by gathering asset metadata tags and capturing digital asset rights and relationships between assets to improve speed, scalability, and flexibility in analyzing and traversing networks of rights and relationships of digital assets. The central asset registry and the satellite registries use a pluggable architecture and track and store multi-dimensional relationships as an asset hierarchy. The asset hierarchy and rights model depicts rights and relationship data between the assets and provides a flexible array of asset types and properties for addition of new assets, new asset types, and new rights without re-factoring the other data, nodes, and edges. The system uses asset metadata to create edge relationships between the assets.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS, LLCInventors: Beth JACKSON, William C. HURST, Chris GOODACRE, Melissa ROBERTS, Lisa SEETO, Pedro LOPEZ, Jarrod CLIFT, Brant BOEHMANN, Dennis KILLINGSWORTH

Patent number: 8401870Abstract: An apparatus and system are provided for generating one or more patient timelines corresponding to a patient(s). The apparatus includes a processor configured to receive medical information, associated with a patient(s), from one or more different computer systems and store the received medical information in a memory. The processor is configured to examine the received medical information stored in the memory and identify whether data in the medical information indicates the medical information corresponds to a patient(s). The data may include a unique identifier(s) (ID(s)) associated with a patient(s). The processor is also configured to determine if content in the received medical information is designated for inclusion in at least one graphical representation. The content may include one or more unique codes. The processor is also configured to generate a graphical representation(s) corresponding to a chronological sequence of medical events associated with a patient(s) during a period of time.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2009Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Inventors: Catherine Whelchel, Becky Ralston, Melissa Roberts, Melissa Cummings, Josef Pusedu, Dianne Koepping, David Williams
