SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPORTING DATA FROM ELECTRONIC DATA FILES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134876 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPORTING DATA FROM ELECTRONIC DATA FILES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes computer systems and methods for importing data from electronic files. The system assigns a file format to the source file, identifies the file type, and maps it to a transformation template stored in a database.

• The system assigns a file format to electronic data files.
• It identifies the file type and maps it to a transformation template.
• The file format, file type identifier, and transformation template are stored in a database as a file type profile.

Key Features and Innovation

• Automated system for importing data from electronic files.
• File format assignment based on source file.
• Mapping of file type to transformation template.
• Database storage of file type profiles.

Potential Applications

The technology can be used in data migration, data integration, and data processing applications.

Problems Solved

Streamlines the process of importing data from electronic files. Reduces manual effort in assigning file formats and transformation templates.

Benefits

Efficient data importation process. Improved accuracy in data mapping. Enhanced data management capabilities.

Commercial Applications

• Data management software solutions.
• Database integration tools.
• Data migration services.

Prior Art

No specific prior art information provided.

Questions about the Technology

Question 1

How does the system determine the appropriate transformation template for a given file type? The system uses a mapping process based on the file type identifier to associate it with the correct transformation template.

Question 2

Can the file type profiles be customized or modified by users? Yes, users can customize or modify the file type profiles stored in the database to suit their specific data importation needs.

Original Abstract Submitted

computer implemented systems and methods are disclosed for importing data from electronic data files. in accordance with some embodiments, a file format is assigned to a source electronic data files by a data importation system. the data importation system may further identify a file type identifier associated with the source electronic data file and map the source electronic data file to a transformation template. the data importation system may further store the file format, file type identifier, and an indication of the transformation template as a file type profile associated with the source electronic data file in a database.
