System and method for establishing and retrieving data based on global indices
First Claim
1. A method for establishing and retrieving data based on global indices comprising:
- establishing a unique device ID for each of a plurality of data generating devices on a network;
registering the unique device ID of each of the plurality of data generating devices on the network on at least one server connected to the network when the data generating equipment is first used on the network;
establishing a unique user ID for each user of the data generating devices when the user uses one of the plurality of data generating devices for the first time; and
retrieving data generated by the plurality of data generating devices by searching for instances of the unique user ID.

Abstract
A system and method for establishing and retrieving data based upon global indices established on the date of first use by a user. The system uses a distributed data name service (DDNS) which uniquely identifies users of the system based upon the unique ID of devices on the system combined with the date and time of first use by the user. Both the unique device ID and the uniques user ID'"'"'s are stored on servers of the system. This unique user ID generated is used for all subsequent uses of the system by the user. Searching for data generated by devices of the system relating to a particular user is accomplished by searching for instances of the user ID on servers of the system rather than by searching for the data itself. A simplified data transport protocol allows for the transfer of data from one location to another after the data is located.

7. A system for establishing and retrieving data based on global indices comprising:
-
a network;
a plurality of servers connected to the network for storing data and responding to search requests;
a plurality of data generating devices connected to the servers, wherein each data generating device has a unique ID that is registered with at least one server when the data generating device is first used of the network;
unique user ID generator associated with each data generating device whereby a unique user ID is established by combining the unique device ID with a date time stamp of when the user first used any of the plurality of data generating devices on the network; and
search logic for searching for instances of the unique user ID on any of the plurality of servers. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
