Differential processing of data streams based on protocols
摘要
說明書
A multiplier 906 can be configured to determine whether each element includes a data pattern that is consistent with one or more defined report protocols 908a, 908b. A report protocol may define a data pattern as one that includes, for example, one or more particular composites and, in some instances, for at least one of the particular composites, one or more values (e.g., a particular value, a threshold for which values are to be above or below, a range, or a list of values) that is to be associated with the composite. It will be appreciated that a data pattern need not include a particular, or any order. Thus, for each data stream, multiplier 906 can identify one or more applicable protocols (e.g., based on source identity, stream metadata, a current time, a stream identifier, etc.). Then, for each data element in the data stream, multiplier 906 can determine whether each of the components of the protocol-specified data pattern is present in the data element.
In some instances, multiplier 906 operates via interception of a stream, such that—upon completion of processing to determine whether particular data patterns are present—analyzed data elements are output from multiplier 906 via one or more output streams 902b. Output streams 902b may, for example, proceed to a data store management system to be stored in non-volatile memory and/or evaluated so as to assess a reliability of stream transmission and/or processing.
