Passive data-to-metadata association method for software applications
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11861294B2) outlines a method for passively relating data to metadata. The method involves creating associations between data in one database and metadata in another database at a first computer system. These associations are then syndicated to a software application at a second computer system, where a visual clue corresponding to the data is displayed in the graphical interface. When a user interacts with this visual clue, the system searches for the corresponding metadata, displays a portion of it in the interface, and provides a selectable link for further information. The user interaction can include actions like hovering over the visual clue or clicking on it.
Furthermore, the patent describes additional functionalities such as displaying a second portion of metadata upon selecting the link, executing a second software application for more detailed metadata, and addressing various scenarios like error messages, sensitive data access warnings, and redundant data use impact analysis. The method aims to enhance user experience by seamlessly providing relevant metadata associated with the displayed data through passive interactions. By automating the creation of associations and visual clues, users can easily access detailed information without the need for manual input, improving efficiency and data management processes. The patent also covers the implementation of these methods through computer-usable storage mediums, ensuring the practical application of the described processes in real-world software systems.
