AUTOMATED RENDERING OF DATA FLOW ARCHITECTURE FOR NETWORKED COMPUTER SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17830780 titled 'AUTOMATED RENDERING OF DATA FLOW ARCHITECTURE FOR NETWORKED COMPUTER SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is related to networked computer systems and proposes a method for collecting and analyzing tag data from these systems to generate a data flow model.

  • The central server collects tag data from computer systems on a network.
  • The tag data includes information about processes executing on the computer systems, such as source, destination, and data flow details.
  • The collected tag data is stored in a central data repository.
  • The collected tag data is used to create a data flow model, specifically a system context diagram that shows data transfers between the networked computer systems.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Network monitoring and analysis: The data flow model can provide insights into how data is transferred between computer systems on a network, helping identify bottlenecks or potential security vulnerabilities.
  • System optimization: By analyzing the data flow model, organizations can identify areas where data transfers can be optimized or streamlined, leading to improved system performance.
  • Security analysis: The data flow model can be used to identify any unauthorized or suspicious data transfers between computer systems, aiding in detecting and preventing potential security breaches.
  • Troubleshooting and debugging: The collected tag data and data flow model can assist in identifying the source of issues or errors in the networked computer systems, facilitating faster troubleshooting and debugging processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems, methods, and apparatus related to networked computer systems. In one approach, a central server collects tag data from computer systems on a network. The tag data is associated with processes that execute on the computer systems. The tag data includes source, destination, and data flow information for each process. The collected tag data is stored in a central data repository. The collected tag data is used to generate a data flow model. In one example, the data flow model is a system context diagram that indicates data transfers among the networked computer systems.
