DATA ANALYSIS METHOD SELECTION DEVICE METHOD AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18277003 titled 'DATA ANALYSIS METHOD SELECTION DEVICE METHOD AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device that analyzes time-series data sets using different methods to evaluate the relationship between the data sets and extract combinations with different trends in evaluation values. The device then presents the data to a user for input on similar sets, assigns scores based on the evaluation values, and selects the best analysis method for each set.

• The device analyzes multiple sets of time-series data using different methods to evaluate their relationships.
• Combinations of sets with different trends in evaluation values are extracted.
• The device presents the data to the user for input on similar sets.
• Scores are assigned based on evaluation values to determine the best analysis method for each set.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in various fields such as finance, healthcare, and environmental monitoring for analyzing and comparing time-series data sets.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently analyzing and comparing time-series data sets, identifying similar sets, and selecting the most appropriate analysis method for each set.

Benefits

The device streamlines the analysis process, improves decision-making based on evaluation values, and enhances the accuracy of data comparisons.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Time-Series Data Analysis Device for Efficient Data Comparison and Selection of Analysis Methods" could be used in industries such as finance, healthcare, and environmental monitoring for optimizing data analysis processes.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be a similar device that analyzes time-series data sets but does not include the feature of presenting the data to the user for input on similar sets before selecting the analysis method.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device handle large volumes of time-series data sets efficiently?

The patent application does not provide details on the scalability of the device for handling large amounts of data.

What security measures are in place to protect the confidentiality of the time-series data sets?

The patent application does not address the security protocols implemented to safeguard the privacy and confidentiality of the data sets.

Original Abstract Submitted

A device includes: a data set including multiple sets in which two pieces of time-series data are respectively recorded; an analysis unit that obtains evaluation values representing a relationship between the two pieces by different analysis methods for each set; a combination extraction unit that extracts combinations of the sets having different trends in change in the evaluation values associated with the analysis methods; a grouping unit that classifies the analysis methods according to the evaluation values for each combination, and records results associated with the sets; an inquiry unit that presents the time-series data of each set to a user, and inquires which sets have similar time-series data; a scoring unit that adds a score of the analysis method belonging to the group having a better evaluation value for the set determined to be more similar; and a selection unit that repeats each process and selects an analysis method.
