  • Patent number: 9192299
    Abstract: A health check evaluation indicator building method includes the following steps. A visualization process is performed to produce source graphic data on a plurality of features and attributes according to a time series, wherein each of the source graphic data includes a group number. Then, a similarity comparison is performed between the source graphic data and a plurality of target graphic data with the same group number to produce a plurality of similarity scores, where the minimum thereof corresponds to role model graphic data. Based on the role model graphic data, one of a best proposal and an alternative proposal is selected and a result thereof is fed back after execution.
