Patent number: 6892208Abstract: Customer data is displayed to a user for making decisions in dealing with customers. The displayed data is generated based upon characteristic rules that are generated with respect to predetermined data definition information on the customer data. After confirming the effect of adding or deleting certain conditions to and from characteristic data segments as specified by the characteristic rules, the user selects a segment of particular interest. Subsequently, the user specifies certain similar customers from the selected segment to be used for speculation based upon a speculation model so that the speculation model has a relatively high precision level. Additionally, the user modifies the conditions on the speculation results to further understand the bases for the inclusion of the customers in the speculation. The user considers the future course of action towards certain customers based upon the above understandings.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2001Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hitoshi Ashida, Toyohisa Morita

Patent number: 6321217Abstract: A data analyzing method for generating a rule based on data items in a data base, wherein the rule expresses relational features of the data items. The invention includes a user interface and a rule generation module. The rule generation module, in response to an input from the user via the user interface, selects data items for use in a conditional clause and a conclusion clause of a rule from the data items stored in the data base, converts, when the selected data items have numerical values, the numerical values into symbolic values and creates plural candidate rules each expressing a correlation between selected data items in a rule form having one or plural sets of item names and symbolic values.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1999Date of Patent: November 20, 2001Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Akira Maeda, Hitoshi Ashida, Yoji Taniguchi, Yukiyasu Ito, Yori Takahashi
