Solution Overview

Problem

Existing software development processes are inefficient due to the manual search for common objects across multiple memory locations, making it time-consuming and tedious to manage and maintain complex applications.

Innovation Solution

An application manager computing device employs semantic modeling and tagging to organize and manage templates and artifacts, allowing for efficient tracking and reuse by defining templates with properties and applying semantic tags, enabling quick identification and retrieval of relevant content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If common objects are stored at multiple different memory locations to enable flexible access, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases and manual search becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflexible accessVSAvoidtracking and maintaining common objects

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary indexing system that mediates between multiple storage locations and users. This indexing system acts as a mediator that maps common objects to their various memory locations, allowing flexible access without requiring users to manually search through multiple locations. The intermediary layer abstracts the complexity of distributed storage while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If manual search through multiple memory locations is used to find content artifacts, then ease of operation is maintained, but loss of time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemanual search capabilityVSAvoidtime to identify common objects

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-organizing content artifacts with metadata tags and hierarchical classification before search operations. This preliminary organization allows the system to quickly retrieve common objects without requiring manual searching through multiple memory locations, significantly reducing time loss while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive query interfaces.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the number of common objects increases to support complex applications, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity and difficulty of detection increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesupport for complex applicationsVSAvoidtracking common objects

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the large set of common objects into hierarchical categories and subcategories with structured metadata. This segmentation divides the complex set of objects into manageable groups, each with specific attributes and relationships. The segmented structure makes it easier to detect, track, and manage common objects while maintaining the adaptability needed for complex applications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a system and method for managing data using semantic tags. The method may include providing a data model corresponding to a first set of tangible objects where the data model includes a first template class having both properties describing the set of tangible object and a set of semantic tags corresponding to the properties. The method may include receiving a class definition for a second template class for a second set of tangible objects where the second template class inherits, by the class definition, the properties and the semantic tags for the second set of tangible objects.
