Translation Table for API Attribute Name String to Integer Mapping

The patent introduces a translation table as an intermediary between the human-readable attribute name strings and the internal processing system. The translation table maps strings to compact integer identifiers, allowing the system to process efficient integers while maintaining the ability to use descriptive strings in the protocol. This mediator resolves the contradiction by enabling both adaptability (through string-to-integer mapping) and processing efficiency (through integer-based internal operations).

The patent changes the parameter representation from variable-length strings to fixed-size integers. By transforming the attribute name representation from textual form to numerical form through the translation table, the system achieves consistent processing time regardless of attribute name length or complexity, thereby improving productivity while maintaining adaptability through the extensible translation table.

The patent segments the attribute identification process into two distinct parts: human-readable string representation and machine-processed integer representation. The translation table acts as the bridge between these segments, allowing readable strings to be used in protocol definitions and documentation while compact integers are used for actual processing, thereby eliminating time loss without sacrificing ease of operation.

The translation table serves as an intermediary that preserves the readability benefit of strings while eliminating the processing time penalty. By converting strings to integers before processing and potentially converting back for output, the system maintains ease of operation with meaningful attribute names while achieving fast processing with integer comparisons and lookups.

The patent creates a compact copy of the attribute name information in the translation table, where each unique string is represented by a small integer identifier. Instead of storing and processing the full string data repeatedly, the system stores the mapping once in the translation table and uses the compact integer copies throughout processing, dramatically reducing memory usage while maintaining adaptability through the extensible mapping structure.

The patent changes the state of attribute name representation from variable-length text to fixed-size numerical identifiers. This parameter change reduces the quantity of data that needs to be stored and processed in memory, transforming long strings into compact integers that consume minimal memory resources while preserving the full adaptability of the system through the translation table's ability to accommodate any attribute name.
