Inventions on LDAP data storage- A TRIZ based analysis

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an IETF open standard to provide directory services in the network. LDAP stores the directory information in a database. An LDAP server may store data in a Flat file, or in RDBMS or in any other format. The LDAP client applications such as LDAP enabled web browsers like Netscape communicator and Internet Explorer can use LDAP directory interface without having knowledge on the underlying data storage mechanism.

           

This article is a TRIZ based analysis of patents on LDAP data storage. The objective of this article is to find the major concerns in LDAP data storage, define the Ideal Final Result (IFR) of LDAP data storage, find the trends of evolution and predict the future inventions on LDAP data storage.

Inventions on LDAP- A study based on US Patents

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an IETF open standard to provide directory services in the network. LDAP is based on X.500 directory architecture, intended to provide directory services in Internet compatible environments. LDAP is used to provide directory services to applications ranging from e-mail systems to distributed system management tools. LDAP is becoming more and more popular with its wider usage in the Internet.

This report on LDAP is based on a study of 60 selected patents on LDAP from US patent database. The objective of this article is to present the distribution of patents according to different features and functions of LDAP and to present the hot issues on LDAP for current and future inventions.

A Glimpse of TRIZ Methodology

Author: Hariharan Raviraj

Abstract:

While there is a high potential exist for patents at the idea generation stage itself, problem solving and patent analysis provides valuable information for other inventors, which leads to further invention and innovation. It is in this context, the author would like to share, with the readers, some of the most popular TRIZ methodologies originally framed for solving complex problems, steps followed to get TRIZ solution, levels of Inventive Disclosures, the relevance of analysing patents using TRIZ principles and various possibilities of contradiction parameter pairs researchers commonly get in the patent analysis process. 

This article is written keeping in view of rapidly growing interest in applying TRIZ methodologies and to help inspire invention and innovation among young people. The author tries to share some of the most popular TRIZ methodologies originally framed for solving complex problems.

The Revised 40 Principles for Software Inventions

Author: Umakant Mishra

Abstract:

Applying 40 Principles is one of the earliest and most popular techniques of TRIZ. There are no controversies on application of 40 principles by any of the TRIZ schools. Although they are fundamentally sound, there is some difficulty in applying those in software related problems. As they were originally developed for mechanical or technical problems, the meaning of many terms like 'thermal', 'aerodynamic', 'hydrodynamic', 'ultrasonic', 'infrared', 'temperature', 'liquid', 'gas' etc. are embarrassing in a software context.

This article reviews the 40 principles in the context of software industry and rephrases the principles and their applications to make them suitable for software problems. This article can be used as a valuable reference for all TRIZ researchers and software inventors.
