Root has been granted a patent for a method that transforms structured data into object-based data with search functions. This allows applications to access the primary data by calling the object instance with search terms as input, returning corresponding field values.

Transforming structured data into object-based data for search functions
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11829356B2) outlines a method for efficiently accessing structured data through the encapsulation of keys, fields, primary data, and an operation into object data. This method involves identifying keys for records, obtaining a schema for the structured data, parsing the schema to transform the data, and loading the object data into a processing environment. By providing the object instance to applications within the processing environment, structured data can be accessed via calls made to the operation of the object data initiated by the applications. The patent also details the process of maintaining version numbers associated with the structured data, allowing for multiple object instances callable by multiple references, and updating the object data when changes to the structured data are detected.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for parsing a schema into a callable object data instance that encapsulates keys, fields, primary data, and a search function. This instance is loaded into the memory of a processing environment as executable or interpreted instructions, providing search results for structured data to applications without direct access to the data. The method includes defining fields as object attributes, maintaining values based on version numbers, and passing key values as parameters for application-resolved search criteria. Additionally, the patent introduces a system comprising at least one server system with executable instructions that encapsulate structured data into object data, provide search functions, load object data instances, and perform searches on primary data within the object data when referenced by applications in a processing environment, particularly in a cloud processing environment.
