Information Tracking System and Method
First Claim
1. An information tracking system (10), comprising:
- a plurality of sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) that subscribe to a workflow management system (18);
a sensor network (NS1), (NS2) that is unaffiliated with the workflow management system (18);
a registry database (20), including;
pre-existing fields configured to store data received from one or more of the plurality of sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) or from the sensor network (NS1), (NS2); and
de novo fields configured to he generated as a result of a sensor data collection event and configured to store sensor data received from one or more of the plurality of sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) or from the sensor network (NS1), (NS2); and
an engine (26) configured to activity collect sensor data from the plurality of sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) and from the sensor network (NS1), (NS2).

Abstract
An information tracking system (10) includes a plurality of sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) that subscribe to a workflow management system (10), a sensor network (NS1, NS2) that is unaffiliated with the workflow management. System (10), a registry database (20) and an engine (26). The registry database (20) includes pre-existing fields configured to store data received from one or more of the plurality of sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) or from the sensor network (NS1, NS2) and de novo fields configured to be generated as a result of a sensor data collection event and configured to store sensor data received from one or more of the plurality of sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) or from the sensor network (NS1, NS2). The engine (26) is configured to actively collect sensor data from the plurality of sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) and from the sensor network (NS1, NS2).

10. A method operating on a cloud computing network (12) for tracking sensor data, the cloud computing network (12) having instructions stored thereon, the instructions being executable to perform the steps of:
-
actively collecting, via an engine (25), sensor data from a plurality of sources (S1, S2, S3, S4) that subscribe to a workflow management system (18) and a sensor network (NS1, NS2) that is unaffiliated with the workflow management system (18); and updating, via a computing device (16) in operative communication with the engine, a registry database (20) with the sensor data by at least one of; i) repopulating a pre-existing field of the registry database based upon the collected sensor data;
orii) depopulating or deleting, a pre-existing field of the registry database based upon the collected sensor data;
oriii) creating at least one de novo field in the registry database; and populating the at least one de novo field based upon the collected sensor data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
