Among other techniques, techniques for dynamic survivorship, cross-tenant matching, and lineage entity identifier (EID) promotion are described. A system utilizing these techniques can include an industry-agnostic datastore, an industry-focused datastore, a tenant datastore, a new dataset datastore, a new dataset onboarding engine, an EID assignment engine, an object registration engine, a primary EID selection engine, a matching engine, a merging engine, a survivorship engine, a cross-tenant matching engine, and a lineage EID promotion engine. A method utilizing these techniques can include new dataset onboarding, EID assignment, object registration, primary EID selection, matching, merging, survivorship, cross-tenant matching, and lineage EID promotion.

Entity id lineage persistence and cross-tenant durability

A client and one or more information retrieval (IR) engines, such as a search engine, may be in communication with each other via a network. A computer may read index information associated with at least a portion of an audiovisual object, the index information structured to be used in an index database of a search engine system. The computer may obfuscate at least a portion of the index information so that the intelligibility of the contents of the index information is reduced, and may transmit at least some of the obfuscated index information to the search engine system.

System and method of dynamically generating index information

A system and method of generating index information for electronic documents. The system includes a client and one or more information retrieval (IR) engines, such as a search engine, which are each in communication with each other via a network.

System and method of providing multiple items of index information for a single data object

A system and method of generating index information for electronic documents. The system includes a client, one or more information retrieval (IR) engines, such as a search engine, which are each in communication with each other via a network. In one embodiment of the invention, the server maintains a plurality or data objects that are protected by digital rights management (DRM) software. Upon receiving a network request from one of the IR systems, the server dynamically generates an electronic document that provides index information that is associated with one of the data objects. In one embodiment of the invention, the server dynamically generates the contents of the electronic document based upon the indexing characteristics of the IR system. Furthermore, upon receiving a network request from one of the client, the server determines whether the client is authorized to access the data object that is associated with the network request. If the client is authorized to access the data object, the server transmits the data object to the user. Alternatively, if the client is not authorized to access the data object, the server dynamically prepares instructions to the client, the instructions describing additional steps the user at the client may perform to get authorized to access the data object.

System and method of obfuscating data

A method and system for identifying individuals, accessing and updating background information and directing appropriate personal interactions through use of an automatically readable tag, such as an RFID tag. Information encoded on the tag is communicated to a computer system that has a database, wherein identification information encoded on the tag is used as a key to retrieve the relevant background information and communicate that information to a portable display device. The system also takes a photograph of the individual being identified and automatically sends the photograph to the portable display device.

Method and apparatus for facilitating personal attention via wireless links

System and method of dynamically generating an electronic document based upon data analysis

A system and method for controlling the usage of data objects in component object systems. According to the invention, each data object includes a peer list that defines one or more peer data objects that are required by the data object. Upon receipt of a data object, the system verifies the integrity of the data object. Further, the system identifies the integrity of the peer data objects. If the system cannot find the peer data objects, or the system cannot authenticate the peer data objects, the system may optionally retrieve a peer data object that can be authenticated from a data object depository. In addition to validating the integrity of the data object, the system verifies that the data object is authorized to communicate with each of the peer data objects. Further, the system verifies that the peer data objects are authorized to communicate with the data object.
