OBJECT DATA STORAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18599139 titled 'OBJECT DATA STORAGE
The abstract describes systems and methods for object data storage, including generating profiles for objects in a directory, matching feature vectors, and outputting information based on the identified object.
- Generating profiles for objects in a directory with feature vectors and unique identifiers.
- Creating search scopes with global unique identifiers (GUIDs) for efficient matching.
- Generating feature vectors from live image scans for comparison.
- Matching feature vectors to identify objects based on the GUIDs.
- Outputting information corresponding to the identified object in the profile.
Potential Applications: This technology could be applied in security systems, inventory management, and image recognition software.

Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosure herein describes systems and methods for object data storage. In some examples, the method includes generating a profile for an object in a directory, the profile including a first feature vector corresponding to the object and a global unique identifier (GUID) corresponding to the first feature vector in the profile; generating a search scope, the search scope including at least the GUID corresponding to the profile; generating a second feature vector from a live image scan; matching the generated second feature vector from the live image scan to the first feature vector using the generated search scope; identifying the GUID corresponding to the first feature vector that matches the second feature vector; and outputting information corresponding to the object of the profile identified by the GUID corresponding to the first feature vector.
