NATIVE METADATA GENERATION WITHIN A STREAM-ORIENTED SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806767 titled 'NATIVE METADATA GENERATION WITHIN A STREAM-ORIENTED SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a method performed by a computer system in a network. The method involves intercepting stream elements, selecting and analyzing them, and then emitting them to an external storage entity. The emitted data may include both the selected stream elements and metadata generated by the computer system.
- The computer system intercepts stream elements from a stream associated with it.
- It selects specific stream elements for further analysis.
- The selected stream elements are analyzed by the computer system.
- Based on the analysis, the computer system emits the selected stream elements to an external storage entity.
- The emitted data may include both the selected stream elements and metadata generated by the computer system.
Potential Applications
- Data analysis and storage in real-time streaming applications.
- Monitoring and analyzing network traffic for security purposes.
- Capturing and analyzing user behavior on a website or application.
Problems Solved
- Efficiently capturing and analyzing stream elements in a network environment.
- Storing and querying large amounts of data generated by a computer system.
- Integrating natively generated metadata with the selected stream elements.
Benefits
- Real-time analysis and storage of streaming data.
- Improved network security through monitoring and analysis.
- Enhanced understanding of user behavior and preferences.
- Efficient storage and retrieval of large amounts of data.
Original Abstract Submitted
One example method includes, at a computer system that is an element of a network, intercepting stream elements of a stream associated with the computer system, selecting one or more of the stream elements, analyzing the selected stream elements, and based on the analyzing, emitting the selected stream elements to an external, query-able, storage entity that is external to the computer system. The metadata emitted to the storage entity may further include metadata that was natively generated at the computer system.
