DYNAMIC HIERARCHICAL TAGGING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A dynamical hierarchical tagging system connected to a user site through a remote communications network is disclosed. The system may comprise a master controller, a job management server connected to the master controller, one or more scanners in communication with the job management server, wherein the one or more scanners are configured to scan for one or more user assets located at the user site, resulting in scan results, a scan logic processor connected to the master controller, wherein the scan logic processor is configured to store the scan results in a user database, a tagging logic engine connected to the master controller, wherein the tagging logic engine is configured to tag the scan results stored in the user database, and an indexing logic processor connected to the master controller, wherein the indexing logic processor is configured to search and index the tagged scan results stored in the user database. In this system, the scan logic processor may be configured to normalize the scan results stored in the user database to determine which of the normalized scan results need to be updated in a subsequent processing of a scan based on discovered values of the one or more assets previously scanned and the normalized scan results may be related back to the tagged and indexed scan results stored in the user database and are used to track the one or more user assets.
