STORING AND IDENTIFYING CONTENT THROUGH CONTENT DESCRIPTORS IN A HISTORIAN SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A historian system comprising:
- a processor;
a memory device coupled to the processor;
a network connection coupled to the processor and memory device; and
a content descriptor search index module comprising processor-executable instructions stored in the memory device for, when executed by the processor;
receiving content descriptors for content via the network connection, the content descriptors comprising data values of one or more tags corresponding to process devices within a continuous process, and the content descriptors describing the content,formatting the received content descriptors into a language-independent data format,queuing the formatted content descriptors in an indexing queue,indexing the formatted content descriptors as they are dequeued from the indexing queue and stored in a database, the indexes enabling the content descriptors to be found in the database; and
providing selected content corresponding to one or more of the process devices within the continuous process based on the content descriptors found in the database.

Abstract
Annotating content, comprising data values of one or more tags corresponding to a process device within a continuous process, with content descriptors in a historian system. Content descriptors enable indexing and saving content within a search service database for later retrieval by search strings that match the content descriptors. Content having one or more common content descriptors are retrieved and transmitted to a client computing device via a communications network for displaying in a dashboard on the client computing device.

9. A method for creating content descriptor metadata in a historian system comprising:
-
receiving, by a historian computing device coupled to a communications network, content descriptors for content via the communications network, the content comprising data values of one or more tags corresponding to a process device within a continuous process, and the content descriptors describing the content; formatting, by the historian computing device, the received content descriptors into a language-independent data format; queuing, by the historian computing device, the formatted content descriptors in an indexing queue; and indexing, by the historian computing device, the formatted content descriptors within a database as the formatted content descriptors are dequeued from the indexing queue, wherein the indexes enable the content descriptors to be found in the database and selected content corresponding to one or more process devices within the continuous process to be retrieved based on the content descriptors found in the database. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for retrieving content in a historian system comprising:
-
receiving, by a historian computing device coupled to a communications network, a request for retrieval of data via the communications network, the request comprising at least one content descriptor; searching, by the historian computing device, a search index for the content descriptor; locating, by the historian computing device, content in a database based on a result of searching the search index, the content comprising data values of one or more tags corresponding to a process device within a continuous process; retrieving, by the historian computing device, the located content from the database; and providing, by the historian computing device via the communications network, the retrieved content to a client computing device in response to the request, wherein said providing causes the client computing device to display the retrieved content. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
