Abstract

A method and software system allowing the ability to use an existing Excel model and extract the business intelligence, relationships, computations and model into pure mathematical relationships and codes such that the business intelligence in the original model is completely protected and the model can be run at extremely high speed and advanced simulations of hundreds of thousands to millions of trials can be run.

Claims

1. A computer system for extracting and protecting a model, said computer system comprising computer hardware, including a processor, programmed with computer software, comprising:

an extractor module, running inside a model creating software program, wherein said extractor module is configured to perform the steps of;

identifying key inputs and key outputs of a model;

identifying each of the model threads that lead from the key inputs to the key outputs;

identifying patterns and relationships in said threads;

generating compilable mathematical code that reflects the logic of the model and which is based on one or more of said inputs, outputs, threads, patterns, and relationships,

wherein said mathematical code comprises mathematical equations, formulas, or functions;

a compiler module that compiles the mathematical code to create an executable file;

an evaluator module capable of opening said executable file, modifying the inputs, and processing the mathematical code to generate new outputs;

a smart algorithm embedded in said system, said smart algorithm programmatically seizing the existing model, inserting source code into the existing model so as to monitor each keystroke and mouse click, and selectively deciding if a specific action is executed, wherein said smart algorithm forces the compiler to programmatically seize a keystroke or mouse click, by bypassing the existing model, and said smart algorithm running the keystroke or mouse click on the compiler,

wherein said executable file can exist outside of said model creating software program, is self-executable and capable of running independent of another software program, is configured to run in memory independent from said model software program, is optimized to run more efficiently than said existing model in said model creating software program, and is encrypted to prevent an end-user from modifying the mathematical equations, formulas, or functions of the mathematical.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein a Monte Carlo simulation algorithm is run in said mathematical code.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein said model can be lifted from said model creating program and compiled into an optimized file, the file able to be linked with a second file, wherein said files can link with other files to form components of a much larger complex web of models, wherein outputs of one component file can become inputs of a second component file, and this linking of files can be continued without limit.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein a password may be required to access and run said executable file.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein said mathematical code may be protected by a license with a use restriction.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein in said license may utilize Hardware identification protection.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein said use restriction may be a total number of uses.

8. The system of claim 5, wherein said use restriction may be a number of days before the license expires.

9. The system of claim 5, wherein said use restriction may be a may be a specific license expiration date.

10. The system of claim 5, wherein said use restriction may be a limited amount of users.

11. The system of claim 5, wherein said use restriction may limit use to a specific computer.
