Patent number: 7861161Abstract: An report system that incorporates prompt objects in a report definition to enable a user to specify answers to questions to customize a reporting system (e.g., decision support system, business intelligence and OLAP) report at execution time. A prompt object contains a single question to be answered, validation values for the answer, and attributes indicating how the prompt object is to be processed. A report is thus defined by selecting prompt objects in place of templates, filters, or any of the aspects of a template or filter. As a separate object, a single prompt may be issued once and the answer supplied to each reference to the prompt object in a report.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2001Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Microstrategy, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Bedell, Eduardo Carranza, L. Douglas Everhart, William Hurwood, Benjamin Z. Li, Ramkumar Ramachandran, David B. Sherwood, Stephen S. Trundle, Abhimanyu Warikoo

Patent number: 7801967Abstract: A method and system for implementing database connection mapping for mapping a user who may be associated with a group of users to an appropriate database via a database connection wherein the database connection comprises information for locating and logging into the appropriate database. A centralized server may control the access to databases, thereby ensuring efficient use of database resources. A user may log into a server and then be mapped to an appropriate database via a database name and login, provided by a database connection. Database connection mapping may provide the ability to map multiple users to the same database login as well as the ability to map different users to different database logins.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2001Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Microstrategy, IncorporatedInventors: Jeffrey A. Bedell, Benjamin Z. Li, Luis V. Orozco, Stephen S. Trundle

Patent number: 7415438Abstract: A system for a personal intelligence network provides informational and transactional data. Data distribution servers provide e-mail and other messages of topical interest to a subset of the subscribers. The content may be generated by an On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) based channel database system, and the output may also be communicated to individuals via spreadsheet programs data, pager, telephone, mobile phone, fax, personal digital assistants, Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) e-mail and other formats, including a workbook file attachment. Reports generated may enable a subscriber to act upon the content within the report, thereby providing an interactive component to the report. Subscriber actions or inaction to the report and content may be obtained and analyzed, including analysis in connection with the other informational and transactional data.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2001Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Microstrategy, IncorporatedInventors: Terry Berman, Ilia Baskine, Hu Yu, Vladislav Davidovich Lazebnikov, Michael J. Saylor, Sanjeev K. Bansal, Stephen S. Trundle, Jeffrey A. Bedell, Benjamin Z. Li, Abhimanyu Warikoo

Patent number: 6888929Abstract: A system and method for generating revenue from providing pages of voice content when users input a voice code corresponding to that content. Voice codes (“VCodes”) have content stored corresponding thereto and when users view publicly displayed VCodes in proximity to an object, attraction or subject, the users may selectively access the stored content via telephone by calling a central number and entering the VCode or verbally describing the object, attraction or subject, in which case the verbal description is associated with a VCode or collection of VCodes. A fee is collected based on the information retrieved and may be distributed between participants within the voice network access provider system.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2000Date of Patent: May 3, 2005Assignee: MicroStrategy, Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Saylor, Stephen S. Trundle, Anurag Patnaik, David A. Garr, Benjamin M. Lindsey, Josh Mahowald, Zeynep Inanoglu

Patent number: 6859798Abstract: An intelligence server for a reporting system is disclosed. The reporting system may include a report initiation module, such as a user engine or calling application, for generating a request for a report. The intelligence server includes a server layer for receiving the generated request and for coordinating a flow of a processing of the received request; an application logic layer which includes business intelligence rules used for generating the report; and an analytical layer, in communication with the user engine and the server layer, for receiving the request to be processed from the server layer, transmitting the processed request to one or more data storage devices, and for extracting data from the data storage devices responsive to the transmitted request. The extracted data is then processed by the applications in the application logic layer to generate the report and the processing is independent of a user interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2001Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: MicroStrategy, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Bedell, Benjamin Z. Li, Luis V. Orozco, Ramkumar Ramachandran, Michael J. Saylor, Stephen S. Trundle

Patent number: 6792086Abstract: A system and method for creating voice codes (“VCodes”), storing content corresponding to the VCodes, publicly displaying the VCodes in proximity to an object, attraction or subject, and enabling users to selectively access the stored content via telephone by calling a central number and entering the VCode or verbally describing the object, attraction or subject, in which case the verbal description is associated with a VCode or collection of VCodes.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2000Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: MicroStrategy, Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Saylor, Stephen S. Trundle, Anurag Patnaik, David A. Garr, Benjamin M. Lindsey, Josh Mahowald, Zeynep Inanoglu

Patent number: 6707889Abstract: A system and method in which multiple voice network access provider (“VNAP”) systems cooperate to enable output of voice pages based on input of a voice code (“VCodes”) assigned to the voice pages. Each multiple voice network access provider enables user to access content corresponding to the VCodes publicly displayed in proximity to an object, attraction or subject, by calling a central number for that VNAP and entering the VCode or verbally describing the object, attraction or subject, in which case the verbal description is associated with a VCode or collection of VCodes.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2000Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Microstrategy IncorporatedInventors: Michael J. Saylor, Stephen S. Trundle, Anurag Patnaik, David A. Garr, Benjamin M. Lindsey, Josh Mahowald, Zeynep Inanoglu
