US 2021/0231340 A1 · CONFIGURATION DATA MODEL FOR MANAGING HVAC SYSTEMS

Abstract

A configuration data model system for managing configuration data edits to multiple data tables is disclosed. The configuration data model system uses a time series representation of the configuration data and only replicates the time series. In this manner, the configuration schema can be considered as a ‘parallel’ representation of the data, and the time series as the ‘serial’ representation of the same data—the set of time-ordered operations which, when applied to an empty configuration, result in a populated one. In an intelligent gateway, the configuration can therefore be serialized to a single table. This single table is replicated to the cloud server(s), where it is deserialized back to the configuration schema. The configuration data model system does not impose a change on the API code. Instead, it only changes the method of transferring configuration changes between the intelligent gateway(s) and cloud server(s).

Dependent claims

A configuration data model system for managing configuration data edits, wherein the configuration data model system is configured to:

identifying, at an intelligent gateway communicatively coupled to the system, an update to a data record in a configuration data table,
wherein the data records comprises one or more facts;
executing, at the intelligent gateway, a first trigger to create a data object string comprising information associated with the update to the data record;
receiving, by a listener process at the intelligent gateway, a notification of the update to the data record;
exporting to a remote server, by the listener process at the intelligent gateway, the created data object string to a replication table,
wherein the replication table stores data of multiple configuration data tables;
executing, by the remote server, a second trigger to assemble the received data object string;
receiving, by a listener process at the remote server, a notification of the received data object string;
and
updating one or more site configuration records in a cloud server configuration schema using the received data object string.

7 more elements

At least one non-transitory, computer-readable medium carrying instructions, which when executed by at least one data processor, performs operations for managing configuration data edits to multiple data tables, the operations comprising:

identifying, at an intelligent gateway communicatively coupled to the system, an update to a data record in a configuration data table,
wherein the data records comprises one or more facts;
executing, at the intelligent gateway, a first trigger to create a data object string comprising information associated with the update to the data record;
receiving, by a listener process at the intelligent gateway, a notification of the update to the data record;
exporting to a remote server, by the listener process at the intelligent gateway, the created data object string to a replication table,
wherein the replication table stores data of multiple configuration data tables;
executing, by the remote server, a second trigger to assemble the received data object string;
receiving, by a listener process at the remote server, a notification of the received data object string;
and
updating one or more site configuration records in a cloud server configuration schema using the received data object string.
