Systems and methods for rapid delivery of tiered metadata
View Patent ↗In one embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a set of alphanumeric information on a single storage device. First, second and third sets of metadata that are different from each other and that are associated with different subsets of the alphanumeric information are generated by processing the alphanumeric information using first, second, and third criteria, respectively. The first set of metadata is transmitted to a user computer at a first time, the second set of metadata is transmitted to the user computer at a second time subsequent to the first time, and the third set of metadata is transmitted to the user computer at a third time subsequent to the second time. The first, second, and/or third sets of metadata can cause the automated transmission of an alert.
1. A method implemented on a computer system comprising at least one processor and a storage device, comprising:
(a) receiving a set of alphanumeric information on a single storage device;
(b) using a first criteria for processing alphanumeric information and generating metadata to generate a first set of metadata associated with a first subset of the received alphanumeric information;
(c) using a second criteria for processing alphanumeric information and generating metadata different than the first criteria to generate a second set of metadata associated with a second subset of the received alphanumeric information, wherein the first subset of alphanumeric information is different than the second subset of alphanumeric information;
(d) using a third criteria for processing alphanumeric information and generating metadata different than the first criteria and the second criteria to generate a third set of metadata associated with a third subset of the received alphanumeric information, wherein the third subset of alphanumeric information is different than the first and second subsets of alphanumeric information; and
(e) transmitting, to a user computer, the first set of metadata at a first time, the second set of metadata at a second time subsequent to the first time, and the third set of metadata at a third time subsequent to the second time;
wherein at least one of the first set of metadata, the second set of metadata, and the third set of metadata causes an automated transmission of an alert.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alert is automatically transmitted by the user computer.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alert is automatically transmitted to one or more predetermined individuals or organizations.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the alert is automatically transmitted in response to a statistically significant change in the at least one of the first set of metadata, the second set of metadata, and the third set of metadata.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the statistically significant change is a statistically significant increase or decrease in the metadata relative to historical patterns.
6. A computer system comprising:
a memory; and
a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured for:
receiving a set of alphanumeric information on a single storage device;
using a first criteria for processing alphanumeric information and generating metadata to generate a first set of metadata associated with a first subset of the received alphanumeric information;
using a second criteria for processing alphanumeric information and generating metadata different than the first criteria to generate a second set of metadata associated with a second subset of the received alphanumeric information, wherein the first subset of information is different than the second subset of information;
using a third criteria for processing alphanumeric information and generating metadata different than the first criteria and the second criteria to generate a third set of metadata associated with a third subset of the received alphanumeric information, wherein the third subset of information is different than the first and second subsets of information;
transmitting, to a user computer, the first set of metadata at a first time, the second set of metadata at a second time subsequent to the first time, and the third set of metadata at a third time subsequent to the second time; and
wherein at least one of the first set of metadata, the second set of metadata, and the third set of metadata causes an automated transmission of an alert.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the alert is automatically transmitted by the user computer.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the alert is automatically transmitted to one or more predetermined individuals or organizations.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the alert is automatically transmitted in response to a statistically significant change in the at least one of the first set of metadata, the second set of metadata, and the third set of metadata.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the statistically significant change is a statistically significant increase or decrease in the metadata relative to historical patterns.
