Subject Matter
The patent family covers a computerized method, system, and non-transitory computer program product for the integration and coordination of distributed measurement and control systems by means of a functional data structure. The method comprises:
- generating a functional data structure with variables for mapping data values of the integrated systems;
- describing the content of variables by means of a set of defining attributes, wherein at least one attribute contains variable references to other variables in order to map variable networks;
- creating, each time a defining variable attribute value is changed by an integrated system, a primary clone of the affected variable;
- creating machine clones of the variables that lie on the dependent variable network paths of the primary cloned variable;
- wherein the primary cloned variable, together with the machine clones along the dependent paths, define a non-redundant data structure.
The independent claims cover the method (Claim 1), the corresponding system implementation (Claim 13), and a non-transitory computer program product carrying the executable instructions (Claim 15). Dependent claims address cloning metadata, sequence identification, predecessor referencing, access control, historization, logging, and visualization.
Notice to Third Parties
The patent family confers on the proprietor the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, selling, or importing the patented inventions within the respective jurisdictions, subject to the payment of maintenance fees and any limitations of the applicable national law.
