Abstract
Methods and computer systems are provided for data assignment. A computing unit and a data object component for managing a set of data objects are provided. Data objects of the set of data objects can be divided into segments according to selectable criteria. An interface unit may also be provided to interconnect the computing unit and the data object component. The interface unit may be arranged and constructed to include an inventory assignment of segments created in the data object component such that, in case of an assignment inquiry by the computing unit, an assignment of one or more segments being inquired for is carried out in the interface unit.
Claims19
A method for data assignment in a computer system, the method comprising:
- providing the computer system including a computing unit, a data object component for managing a set of data objects, and an interface unit interconnecting the computing unit and the data object component, the interface unit containing segment relation data for data objects in said set of data objects, the segment relation data being based on keys or rules that concern a segment classification;
- dividing the data objects of said set of data objects into a plurality of segment types, each of the segment types among the plurality of segment types having one or more segments according to the segment classification, the segments being a subset of the set of data objects and related to the segment types, the data objects being divided into segments according to selectable criteria;
- creating, in said data object component, an inventory assignment of said segments, the inventory assignment of the segments being retrieved based on the keys or rules in the segment relation data and the segment classification;
- and
- based on an assignment inquiry by said computing unit, assigning, in the interface unit, one or more of said segments being inquired for.
A computer system comprising:
- a central processing unit provided in a computing unit;
- and
- a data object component for managing a set of data objects;
- an interface unit interconnecting the computing unit and the data object component, the interface unit containing segment relation data for data objects in said set of data objects, the segment relation data being based on keys or rules that concern a segment classification,
- wherein data objects of said set of data objects can be divided into a plurality of segment types, each of the segment types among the plurality of segment types having one or more segments according to the segment classification, the segments being a subset of the set of data objects and related to the segment types, the data objects being divided into segments according to selectable criteria, said interface unit being arranged and constructed to include an inventory assignment of said plurality of segments created in said data object component, the inventory assignment of the segments being retrieved based on the keys or rules in the segment relation data and the segment classification, and in case of an assignment inquiry by said computing unit, an assignment of one or more of said plurality of segments being inquired for is carried out in said interface unit.
A tangibly embodied non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions for performing a data assignment method, the method comprising:
- providing the computer system including a computing unit, a data object component for managing a set of data objects, and an interface unit interconnecting the computing unit and the data object component, the interface unit containing segment relation data for data objects in said set of data objects, the segment relation data being based on keys or rules that concern a segment classification;
- dividing the data objects of said set of data objects into a plurality of segment types, each of the segment types among the plurality of segment types having one or more segments according to the segment classification, the segments being a subset of the set of data objects and related to the segment types, the data objects being divided into segments according to selectable criteria;
- creating, in said data object component, an inventory assignment of said segments, the inventory assignment of the segments being retrieved based on the keys or rules in the segment relation data and the segment classification;
- and
- based on an assignment inquiry by said computing unit, assigning, in the interface unit, one or more of said segments being inquired for.
