Appl. No.:

10/248962

Inventors:

Charles Moon - Round Rock TX, US
Vasken Torossian - Round Rock TX, US

Assignee:

Infoglide Software Corporation - Austin TX

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 5

Abstract:

The invention provides a classification engine for classifying documents that makes use of functions included in a similarity search engine. The classification engine executes a classify command from a client that makes use of similarity search results, and rules files, classes files, and a classification profile embedded in the classification command. When the classification receives a classify command from a client, it retrieves a classification profile and input documents to be classified, sends extracted values from the input documents based on anchor values to a XML transformation engine to obtain a search schema, requests a similarity search by a search manager to determine the similarity between input documents and anchor values, and classifies the input documents according to the rules files, classes files, and the classification profile. The client is then notified that the classify command has been completed and the classification results are stored in a database.

Appl. No.:

10/653690

Inventors:

John R. Ripley - Round Rock TX, US
Ram Anantha - Cedar Park TX, US
Charles Moon - Round Rock TX, US

Assignee:

Infoglide Software Corporation - Austin TX

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707 10

Abstract:

A system and method for defining a schema and sending a query to a similarity search engine to determine a quantitative assessment of the similarity of attributes between an anchor record and one or more target records. The similarity search engine makes a similarity assessment in a single pass through the target records having multiple relationship characteristics. The similarity search engine is a server configuration that communicates with one or more database management systems for providing data persistence, data retrieval and access to user defined functions. The architecture enables search activities to be segmented among multiple remote database management systems for reducing the time required to perform searches. Implementation provisions include a method by which a secure transport driver may be configured for a datasource and a method by which configuration files may be persisted to either filesystem storage or a relational database.

International Classification:

G06F007/00

US Classification:

707/005000

Abstract:

The invention provides a system and method for defining a schema and sending a query to a Similarity Search Engine to determine a quantitative assessment of the similarity between an anchor record and at least one search record. The invention makes a similarity assessment in a single pass through the target records having multiple relationship characteristics. The Similarity Search Engine is a server configuration comprising a Gateway for command and response routing, a Virtual Document Manager for document generation, a Search Manager for SQL statement generation, and one or more Database Management Systems for data persistence and retrieval, and access to User Defined Functions. By locating the scoring and aggregation functions in remotely located User Defined Functions embedded within Database Management Systems, network and Search Manager activity is greatly reduced. The system architecture enables partitioned searches among multiple Database Management Systems for reducing search times and network activity.

Inventors:

Charles Moon - Round Rock TX, US
Michael Zrubek - Granger TX, US

International Classification:

G06F019/00

US Classification:

700/100000

Abstract:

Many business processes involve manually controlling and monitoring informational artifacts, such as documents or insurance claims, through a workflow process. The present invention provides a dynamic and flexible method for controlling workflow processes by arranging complex tasks into predefined sequences having decision points that control the process to completion. The method comprises defining procedural components of a process flow model, defining control links for connecting the procedural components, defining data components of a process data model, defining data links for connecting the procedural components and the data components, and invoking the procedural components for producing a workflow process result. The procedural components comprise nodes in the workflow process, which may be automated, interactive or manual procedures. The nodes are connected and executed in a defined sequence determined by control links. The data components comprise data sets connected to procedural components by the data links.

Abstract:

A method for incorporating human arbitration into an otherwise automated workflow process for the purpose of classifying documents. Workflow management for document classification processes enables users to manage a process by arranging complex tasks into predefined sequences with decision points that steer tasks to completion. The method enables human arbitration of the workflow processes for document classification by providing a browser based user interface for arbitrating document classification processes. A software implemented system for browser-based arbitration in a classification workflow process comprising authenticating a user name and password for enabling a user logon, displaying a task list screen, the task list screen displaying a summary list containing each current task that the user has permission to view and links to a task detail screen, a search form screen, and a search queue screen, and enabling the user to arbitrate an assigned classification of assigned tasks in the workflow process.

International Classification:

G06F017/00

US Classification:

707/10300R

Abstract:

The invention relates to transactional analysis for identifying obvious and nonobvious relationships between target database documents and source database documents. It is particularly applicable to processes for searching, analyzing and operating on transactional and historical data found in remote and disparate databases for uncovering non-obvious or fuzzy relationships between people, places and events, and finding links and dependencies that would not otherwise be identifiable within a set of data. It is a software system and method comprising receiving an autolink command by a link analysis server from an application program, accessing a processing profile identified in the autolink command, accessing source and target document data identified in the autolink command, performing a link analysis for identifying relationships based on comparing similarity scores between target and source documents, sending a response containing a link analysis result to the application program, and saving the link analysis result in a persistence database.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

718104000

Abstract:

The resource management system and method is a solution for balancing or leveling resource utilization in business processes. The solution relies on an analysis model implemented on a computer system with a user interface. A user enters resource capability data, resource requirements data including prioritized tasks and task categories, and a time period for providing dynamic allocation of resources to prioritized tasks within prioritized task categories. The invention makes use of categorization data for analyzing and altering the data within the defined time range or other specified data selection. Using a predefined distribution policy and processing limitations, such as the number of people expected to work during a shift on a given day, the model modifies categorization results to mathematically smooth the peaks and valleys of workload fluctuations in business processes. The results are displayed on the user interface.
