Abstract: Methods for analyzing and rendering business intelligence data allow for efficient scalability as datasets grow in size. Human intervention is minimized by augmented decision making ability in selecting what aspects of large datasets should be focused on to drive key business outcomes. Variable value combinations that are predominant drivers of key observations are automatically determined from several competing variable value combinations. The identified variable value combinations can then be then used to predict future trends underlying the business intelligence data. In another embodiment, an observed outcome is decomposed into multiple contributing drivers and the impact of each of the contributing drivers can be analyzed and numerically quantified—as a static snapshot or as a time-varying evolution.

Abstract: Minimizing bandwidth consumption in rendering dynamic content, such as video streaming. Traditional streaming video applications utilize lossy protocols that often result in degraded user experiences. A dynamic content encoder/decoder allows a server-based browser application to generate vector-based rendering instructions for processing by a client-based browser application. Additionally, as the dynamic content changes the content to be displayed, a server-based browser application generates updated vector-based instructions and encoded spatial and temporal differences to minimize the data transmitted to the client-based browser.
