US 2015/0149459 A1 · Tag Based System For Leveraging Design Data

Abstract

This application discloses a computing system implementing one or more tools or mechanism configured to integrate different design stages, phases, or levels of abstraction by relating objects based on one or more of their characteristics, such as physical or electrical attributes, properties, references, or the like. The tools or mechanism can generate tags corresponding to characteristics of objects in one or more designs representing at least a portion of an electronic system. The tools or mechanism can link the objects in the one or more designs based, at least in part, on tags, and, in response to receiving a selection corresponding to a portion of the one or more designs, present information corresponding to at least another portion in the one or more designs associated with the selected portion based, at least in part, on the linked objects.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

generating, by a computing system, tags corresponding to characteristics of objects in one or more designs representing at least a portion of an electronic system;
linking, by the computing system, the objects in the one or more designs based, at least in part, on tags;
and
in response to receiving a selection corresponding to a portion of the one or more designs, presenting, by the computing system, information corresponding to at least another portion in the one or more designs associated with the selected portion based, at least in part, on the linked objects.

1 more element

A system comprising:

a memory system configured to store computer-executable instructions;
and
a computing system, in response to execution of the computer-executable instructions, is configured to:
generate tags corresponding to characteristics of objects in one or more designs representing at least a portion of an electronic system;
link the objects in the one or more designs based, at least in part, on tags;
and
in response to receiving a selection corresponding to a portion of the one or more designs, present information corresponding to at least another portion in the one or more designs associated with the selected portion based, at least in part, on the linked objects.

4 more elements

An apparatus comprising at least one computer-readable memory device storing instructions configured to cause one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:

generating tags corresponding to characteristics of objects in one or more designs representing at least a portion of an electronic system;
linking the objects in the one or more designs based, at least in part, on tags;
and
in response to receiving a selection corresponding to a portion of the one or more designs, presenting information corresponding to at least another portion in the one or more designs associated with the selected portion based, at least in part, on the linked objects.
