  • Publication number: 20260140966
    Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for data storage and retrieval from a computer memory. A computing device may store a first hierarchical data structure having a first sequence of sub-data structures and a second hierarchical data structure having a second sequence of sub-data structures in memory. The computing device may link the first hierarchical data structure and the second hierarchical data structure together. The computing device may link the first hierarchical data structure and the second hierarchical data structure by inserting an identifier of a sub-data structure of the second sequence in the first sequence.

  • Patent number: 12499138
    Abstract: A method and related system may traverse a hierarchical data structure to dynamically generate text outputs based on user prompts. The method includes retrieving sub-data structures from multiple layers via links, applying a duration protocol and time constraints, and using a language model API to generate candidate output content. The method may also include determining whether the content meets time criteria and, if so, updating the first sub-data structure for display at a second client node.
