Grouping interdependent fields

Abstract

Processes, machines, and stored machine instructions are provided for grouping interdependent fields. Field grouping logic may include specially configured machines and/or stored instructions that identify group(s) of interdependent fields of a data set. The field grouping logic may receive, from a client on a customizable interface, a request for interdependent fields in a data set and, in response, cause generation of an output object that identifies the similar fields in the data set. The field grouping logic may exclude field(s) of the data set that are not interdependent, are not frequently accessed, or do not consume much space in storage, even though the request may not identify which fields are interdependent. The output object identifies the similar fields in set(s) or list(s) of fields, or in a hierarchy or hierarchies of groups and sub-groups.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
