Data management device

Abstract

A data management device includes a storage module, a communication module, and a processing module. Upon receiving a new data request, the processing module determines whether the data to be added contains multiple necessary data items. If it does, the processing module determines whether at least one erroneous element exists. If it determines that the at least one erroneous element does not exist, the processing module determines whether it conforms to at least one data specification to be tested. If it determines that it conforms to the at least one data specification to be tested, the processing module stores the data to be added as new data to be retrieved. This achieves the goal of easy data maintenance and retrieval through a unified data format.

Claims

1. A data management device connected to a data source device via a communication network, the data management device comprising: a storage module storing a standard data format and multiple pieces of data to be retrieved conforming to the standard data format, the standard data format indicating multiple necessary data items and their corresponding data types, the standard data format further indicating multiple data specifications corresponding to multiple detection data items, each data specification defining the rules that the data elements of the corresponding detection data item must follow; a communication module connected to the communication network; and a processing module signal-connected to the storage module and the communication module; wherein... After the processing module receives a new request from the data source device via the communication network through the communication module, the new request is related to data to be added. The data to be added contains multiple data elements corresponding to multiple data items. The processing module determines whether the data items of the data to be added cover multiple necessary data items. When the processing module determines that the data items of the data to be added cover such necessary data items, the processing module determines whether there is at least one erroneous element in the data elements corresponding to such necessary data items, wherein the data type of each erroneous element does not conform to the data type of the corresponding necessary data item. When the processing module determines that there is no at least one erroneous element, the processing module determines whether all the data elements of the data to be added conform to at least one data specification to be tested selected from such data specifications. When the processing module determines that all the data elements of the data to be added conform to the at least one data specification to be tested, the processing module stores the data to be added as new data to be retrieved.

2. The data management device as described in claim 1, wherein the data management device is further connected to a user device via the communication network, wherein, The storage module also stores multiple user information corresponding to multiple users. Each user information includes the account information of the corresponding user and permission information indicating the access rights of the corresponding user for each piece of data to be accessed. After the processing module receives a login request from one of the user devices containing a login account through the communication network via the communication module, the login account matches one of the account information. Based on the permission information corresponding to the login account, at least one piece of data with access rights is obtained from the data to be accessed and transmitted to the user device.

3. The data management device as described in claim 2, wherein, After the processing module receives a search request containing a search keyword from one of the user devices via the communication network through the communication module, the processing module determines whether there is at least one candidate data related to the search keyword in the at least one available data. When the processing module determines that there is at least one candidate data, the processing module transmits a search result indicating the at least one candidate data to the user device via the communication network through the communication module.

4. The data management device as described in claim 3, wherein, The storage module also stores multiple search history data corresponding to the data to be retrieved. For each candidate data, the processing module generates a search record related to the candidate data and adds it to the search history data corresponding to the candidate data.

5. The data management device as described in claim 3, wherein, After the processing module receives a read request from one of the user devices corresponding to a target access data via the communication network through the communication module, and the target access data is one of the at least one candidate access data, the processing module transmits the target access data to the user device via the communication network through the communication module.

6. The data management device as described in claim 5, wherein, The storage module also stores multiple usage history data corresponding to the data to be retrieved. The processing module generates a usage record related to the target data and adds it to the usage history data corresponding to the target data.
