Abstract
Collection command applicators improve the productivity of human knowledge workers by enabling them to automatically process of large numbers of collections of arbitrary computer files. In operation, collection command applicators dynamically recognize interesting collections, calculate an optimal execution dependency visit order, determine an optimal parallel execution order, and apply arbitrary computer commands to the recognized collections in accordance with the calculated execution orderings. Collection command applicators thereby make it possible to process large numbers of collections in automated, scalable ways that were not previously possible.
Claims20
A collection command applicator process for applying computer commands to one or more collections, comprising the following steps:
- (a) obtaining a list of collections for processing, and
- (b) applying one or more computer commands to collections within said list of collections,
- thereby improving productivity of human workers by enabling them to automatically process large numbers of collections using significantly fewer collection command applicator commands, and thereby providing a solution to the general collection command applicator problem.
A programmable collection command application device for applying computer commands to one or more collections, whose actions are directed by software executing a process comprising the following steps:
- (a) obtaining a list of collections for processing, and
- (b) applying one or more computer commands to each collection in said list of collections,
- thereby improving productivity of human workers by enabling them to automatically process large numbers of collections using significantly fewer collection command applicator commands, and thereby providing a solution to the general collection command applicator problem.
A computer readable memory, encoded with data representing a collection command application computer program that can be used to direct a computer when used by the computer, comprising:
- (a) means for obtaining a list of collections for processing, and
- (b) means for applying one or more computer commands to each collection in said list of collections,
- thereby improving productivity of human workers by enabling them to automatically process large numbers of collections using significantly fewer collection command applicator commands, and thereby providing a solution to the general collection command applicator problem.
