Identification of null sets in a context-based electronic document search
First Claim
1. A computer hardware-implemented method of identifying a null set of synthetic event containing files in a database of electronic files, the computer hardware-implemented method comprising:
- defining a synthetic event, wherein the synthetic event is a non-executable descriptor of a set of context-related factors, wherein the synthetic event is an occurrence of a set of words in a single document, wherein a factor in the set of context-related factors is the occurrence of all words in the set of words, and wherein a context of the set of context-related factors is the single document containing all of the words in the set of words;
performing a context-based search of a database of electronic files to identify a synthetic event containing electronic file, wherein the synthetic event containing electronic file comprises the synthetic event; and
in response to determining that there are no electronic files in the database of electronic files that contain the synthetic event, broadcasting a set of binary data that identifies the null set of synthetic event containing files in the database of electronic files.

Abstract
A computer hardware-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product identifies a null set of synthetic event containing electronic files in a database of electronic files. A synthetic event, which is a non-executable descriptor of a set of context-related factors, is created. A context-based search of a database of electronic files is performed to identify a synthetic event containing electronic file that includes the synthetic event. In response to determining that there are no electronic files in the database of electronic files that contain the synthetic event, a set of binary data is transmitted/broadcast. The set of binary data includes a notice that there are no synthetic event electronic files in the database of electronic files.

7. A computer program product for identifying a null set of synthetic event containing files in a database of electronic files, the computer program product comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer readable storage media; first program instructions to define a synthetic event, wherein the synthetic event is a non-executable descriptor of a set of context-related factors, wherein the synthetic event is an occurrence of a set of words in a single document, wherein a factor in the set of context-related factors is the occurrence of all words in the set of words, and wherein a context of the set of context-related factors is the single document containing all of the words in the set of words; second program instructions to perform a context-based search of a database of electronic files to identify a synthetic event containing electronic file, wherein the synthetic event containing electronic file comprises the synthetic event; and third program instructions to, in response to determining that there are no electronic files in the database of electronic files that contain the synthetic event, transmit a set of binary data to the requesting computer, wherein the set of binary data identifies the null set of synthetic event containing files in the database of electronic files; and
wherein the first, second, and third program instructions are stored on the non-transitory computer readable storage media. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer system comprising:
-
a central processing unit (CPU), a computer readable memory, and a non-transitory computer readable storage media; first program instructions to define a synthetic event, wherein the synthetic event is a non-executable descriptor of a set of context-related factors, wherein the synthetic event is an occurrence of a set of words in a single document, wherein a factor in the set of context-related factors is the occurrence of all words in the set of words, and wherein a context of the set of context-related factors is the single document containing all of the words in the set of words; second program instructions to perform a context-based search of a database of electronic files to identify a synthetic event containing electronic file, wherein the synthetic event containing electronic file comprises the synthetic event; and third program instructions to, in response to determining that there are no electronic files in the database of electronic files that contain the synthetic event, transmit a set of binary data to the requesting computer, wherein the set of binary data identifies the null set of synthetic event containing files in the database of electronic files; and
wherein the first, second, and third program instructions are stored on the non-transitory computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
