Patent number: 8280856Abstract: Systems and methods for mapping extension taxonomy elements to a standard base taxonomy and thereafter making use thereof are provided. According to one embodiment, a list of base taxonomy elements is displayed on a display device. A taxonomy map is also displayed on the display device. The taxonomy map includes information regarding one or more extended taxonomy elements of a reporting entity that are not mapped to any base taxonomy elements. Responsive to one or more user input events corresponding to a selection of a base taxonomy element and corresponding to a request to map an extended taxonomy element to the selected base taxonomy element, the compatibility of the selected base taxonomy element with the extended taxonomy element is validated. If the compatibility is affirmed, then an association is formed between the extended taxonomy element and the selected base taxonomy element.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2010Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Rivet Software, Inc.Inventors: Michael L. Rohan, Emily Huang, Rob Blake

Patent number: 8230329Abstract: Systems and methods for a multi-level advanced caching engine that is designed for processing a high-volume of transaction data and ensuring high performance query processing is provided. A folio is interactively updated on-demand for an organizational hierarchy with aggregated information from pre-summarized balances. Responsive to user-generated folio-level queries which depend upon balance values not currently stored within the financial transaction system, multiple instances of balances are dynamically created and populated with new balance values based on the user-generated folio-level query. Responsive to new transaction data, clean balance values are maintained within the dependent balances by regenerating the associated balance values.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2007Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Rivet Software, Inc.Inventors: Michael L. Rohan, Rob Blake, Emily Huang

Patent number: 7822769Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for analysis of financial and business information based on interactive data, such as XBRL data. According to one embodiment, a method is provided for mapping extended taxonomy elements to base taxonomy elements. A list of base taxonomy elements is displayed on a display device. A taxonomy map is displayed on the display device. The taxonomy map includes information regarding one or more extended taxonomy elements of a reporting entity that are not mapped to any base taxonomy elements.

Publication number: 20070239476Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enterprise-level analysis and reporting of transaction information. According to one embodiment, a method is provided by way of an enterprise-level analysis and reporting software application to enable a non-technical user on a Personal Computer (or other Network Appliance) to drag and drop metadata elements (e.g., XBRL elements/objects or generic data keys) onto a productivity tool, such as a spreadsheet (e.g., Microsoft Excel), and interactively update the spreadsheet with aggregated information from originating transactions. According to one embodiment of the present invention, transactions are dynamically accumulated into time-sensitive balances (or buckets) and then aggregated into cube(s) before the spreadsheet is refreshed. The user can then drill back through aggregated information to original transaction information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2007Publication date: October 11, 2007Applicant: RIVET SOFTWARE, INC.Inventors: Michael L.

Publication number: 20040171927Abstract: This invention provides independent measurement of and dynamic correction for subject movement while a scanning protocol is performed by updating the scanning protocol to compensate for this movement. This simple, easy-to-use, and cost-effective approach offers greater accuracy than previous methods. Using devices with cameras and integrated radiation sources, the invention is suitable for monitoring subject movement by detecting the reflection of the radiation from markers on the subject in real-time and performing dynamic correction for this movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2003Publication date: September 2, 2004Inventors: Steven Lowen, Carl Anderson, Michael L.
