COOPERATIVE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR ENGINEERING ASSET MANAGEMENT AND SHARING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17823315 titled 'COOPERATIVE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR ENGINEERING ASSET MANAGEMENT AND SHARING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computing system with a cooperative system architecture for managing engineering assets within an organization. It includes a user management subsystem, an asset management subsystem, and a test management subsystem.

• User management subsystem creates registered user profiles with user metadata.
• Asset management subsystem has an asset repository for recording engineering assets and modifies user metadata when a user records an asset.
• Test management subsystem has a test repository for recording test bill of materials.

Original Abstract Submitted

A computing system including a cooperative system architecture for cataloging, informing, sharing, and managing engineering assets within an organization includes a user management subsystem for creating a registered user profile associated with a specific user of the computing system. The registered user profile includes user metadata that provides identifying characteristics of the specific user. The computing system includes an asset management subsystem including an asset repository for recording one or more engineering assets. The asset management subsystem modifies the user metadata of the registered user profile in response to the specific user recording an engineering asset in the asset repository. The computing system includes a test management subsystem including a test repository for recording one or more test bill of materials.
