COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18370436 titled 'COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for managing the order of pieces of data in a computer system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A computer system stores multiple pieces of value data in a specific order.
- It also stores a flag that defines the relationship between two ranges of data.
- When a specific piece of data is designated to be moved to the front of the order, the system updates the flag accordingly.
- The system switches the relationship between the two ranges when one of them no longer includes any data.
Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in database management systems, data processing applications, and sorting algorithms.
Problems Solved: This technology helps in efficiently managing the order of data, ensuring quick access to relevant information and optimizing data processing tasks.
Benefits: The system allows for easy reordering of data, improves data retrieval speed, and enhances overall system performance.
Potential Commercial Applications: "Optimizing Data Order Management for Efficient Processing in Database Systems"
Possible Prior Art: One possible prior art could be the use of flags to define relationships between data ranges in computer systems.
Unanswered Questions: 1. How does this technology handle large datasets with millions of pieces of data? 2. Are there any potential security concerns related to reordering data in this manner?
Original Abstract Submitted
For managing an order of pieces of data, a computer stores, in order, a plurality of pieces of value data that represent a number of digits with which a constant multiple of a number of pieces of data included in a data group are representable; stores flag defining an upper-lower relationship between first and second ranges in each of which at least the number of pieces of data is representable; each time designation of first value data to be moved to a head in the order is accepted, sets a value that belongs to an upper range among the first and the second ranges to the first value data such that the first value data is before other pieces of value data in the order; and when the lower range no longer includes any pieces of value data, updates the flag such that the upper-lower relationship is switched.
