The patent US12013832B2 outlines a method and apparatus for generating a final data structure from multiple initial data structures associated with a query. This process involves selecting unique data element values and types from a set of database records, ensuring that the final data structure is non-redundant. The method includes determining specific data element types based on two search terms linked to the query, generating a query data structure that represents these unique values, and identifying a subset of database records. The results are stored in a results data structure, which is designed to facilitate efficient query processing.

Additionally, the patent describes the functionality of the apparatus, which comprises processors and memory that execute instructions to perform the aforementioned tasks. The instructions allow for the generation of initial data structures based on the query, and the results data structure can include unique identifiers that enhance the processing of subsequent queries. The information stored may consist of unique data element values, types, or results from functions related to the query. This system aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of data retrieval and processing in response to user queries.
