Patent Overview: US7313575B2 — "Data Services Handler"

Identification. US Patent 7,313,575 B2, titled "Data Services Handler," issued December 25, 2007, on Application No. US10/868,434, filed June 14, 2004, which is also the priority date. Inventors: Steven R. Carr, Venkatakrishnan Muthuswamy, and Tudor Har. Original assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. A pre-grant publication, US20050278270A1, published December 15, 2005. The source lists the current assignee as Valtrus Innovations Ltd and the legal status as "Expired – Lifetime." (Per operating rules, ownership transfers and status are reported only as the source states them, without independent analysis.)

Purpose. The excerpt frames the problem as "latency"—"an inability to react immediately to business stimuli"—which it says "can contribute to basically any deficiency in business performance," citing examples such as poor customer service, missed selling opportunities, failure to address consumer fraud, and insufficient monitoring of enterprise finances. The stated aim of the described technology is a "zero latency" approach to enterprise data.

Plain-language scope. Recurring terms in the text—"data," "metadata," "document," "real time," and "time information"—indicate a data services handler that associates metadata (including time information) with documents so data can be served in real time. The document is classified in G06Q10/10 (office automation; time management) with cross-reference classifications under Y10S707 relating to database/data-structure manipulation, schema, object-oriented structures, and distributed/multimedia/image applications.

What the excerpt does not establish. The supplied text is an excerpt; it contains no claims, no detailed description, and no drawings content. It therefore does not establish the specific claimed invention, claim limitations, embodiments, or how "data services handler," "zero latency," or "real time" are defined or implemented. It also does not establish any litigation, ownership, validity, or prior-art conclusions beyond the literal entries shown.
