Filed:

Nov 18, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/299456

Inventors:

Michael N. Gurevich - Walnut Creek CA, US

Assignee:

Bank of America Corporation - Charlotte NC

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707103R, 707 1, 705 1

Abstract:

Data moves between multiple, disparate data sources and the object-oriented computer programs that process the data. A data access server is interposed between the object-oriented programs and the data sources, and acts as an intermediary. The intermediary server receives requests for data access from object-oriented computer programs, correlates each request to one or more interactions with one or more data sources, performs each required interaction, consolidates the results of the interactions, and presents a singular response to the requesting computer program. The consolidated response from the intermediary server contains data items requested by the computer program, information regarding the hierarchical topology that relates the data items, and an indication of the possible object types that might embody the data items. The application program receives the consolidated response and builds an object hierarchy to embody the data items and to interface them to the rest of the application program. The class of an object used to embody data items is selected at execution time from a list of possible candidates.

Appl. No.:

11/403135

Inventors:

Michael N. Gurevich - Walnut Creek CA, US

Assignee:

Inventigo, LLC - Walnut Creek CA

International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

719313, 719330

Abstract:

The invention relates to data processing apparatus and methods for method oriented invocation (MOI) of data processing service modules. MOI Adapters and methods interface compound messages with service modules that process them, advantageously reducing memory and processing time utilization. Compound messages may be progressively parsed and processed, identifying the constituent information items needed by a service module and invoking the service module when all needed information items are available, without using resources to maintain and process superfluous message data. Multiple service modules may be addressed by a single MOI Adapter.

Vit Kantor - Arlington Heights IL, US

International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

713/189000, 713/184000, 380/277000

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for improved data management are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises generating a first key component, generating an encryption key using the first key component, a token key and a personal identification number (PIN), encrypting data using the encryption key, and sending the data encrypted with the encryption key to a server along with the first key component.

International Classification:

G06F009/44

US Classification:

717116000, 717120000, 717108000

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are disclosed to facilitate and conduct the programming and implementation of object-oriented computer programs with improved object externalization and internalization. Program code allows an instance of a user-defined class to be viewed by other program elements as a block of memory containing one or more data items. The data items are the attributes of the object instance. An attribute map effectively describes the object instance by indicating, for example, the location of a particular attribute within the memory block. The attribute map may also directly or indirectly indicate, for example, the size of the attribute, the type of the attribute, and whether the attribute is rudimentary or aggregate in composition. Other program code, external to the object, uses a pointer to the object and the attribute map to externalize the object, i.e., transform the representation of an object to a secondary format. The secondary format may be used to convey the object outside the bounds of the program that contains it. Program code practicing the present invention makes a user-defined object more resilient to technology change. Because specific information about the external format used to represent the object is not integral to the object, a change in external format does not require a change to the object, and a class declaration (header) file for an object, together with its implementation file in executable form, can be made externalizable and internalizable to virtually an unlimited number of external formats.

US Classification:

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are disclosed to facilitate and conduct the programming and implementation of object-oriented computer programs with improved object portability. In one embodiment, a portable component is created that has a pure object for performing desired data processing goals, such as accessing customer account information. The pure object is developed independently of a component system with which it may be deployed. The portable component also has a descriptor block for providing a description of the pure object's capabilities at execution time. The portable component is coupled at runtime with a technology adapter that mediates between the portable component and a particular component system so that the technology-independent portable component can be exercised by requests made to the particular component system. Elements disclosed for providing improved portability of programming objects may be individually, or in combination, provided to system developers and users by various means and methods. For example, the program code representation of a technology adapter may be provided on a transportable storage media such as CD ROM. Program code practicing the present invention makes a user-defined object more resilient to technology change. Because specific information about the component system for deploying the object is not integral to the object itself, a change to the component system does not necessitate a change to the object. Moreover, the same object can be deployed in multiple, disparate component systems simultaneously.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Michael Gurevich - Walnut Creek CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717136000

Abstract:

The invention relates to data processing systems and methods facilitating the creation of computer code files for making MOI Adapters that advantageously interface compound messages with service modules that process them. An MOI Controller Compiler utilizes multiple input data sources, correlates their contents as needed, and produces the computer code file. Data sources accessed by the MOI Controller Compiler provide information about the construction and content of a compound message, the interface for a service module, and possibly information about correspondences between components of the message and interface. The multiple input data sources may derive from a unified input file.
