Patent number: 7970735Abstract: A data processing and analysis system is provided. The system includes an analysis engine that queries one or more components of data. A rules component specifies a relationship between at least one dimension of the data with respect to at least one other dimension of the data in order to facilitate an analysis of the data. In one example, the analysis engine is provided as an online analytical processing component.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2006Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Thierry D'Hers, Bala Atur, Marius Dumitru

Patent number: 7756739Abstract: A simple interface may be provided that enables the user to define parameters for aggregation of a semi-additive measure. The interface may enable the user to designate a measure as a semi-additive measure and to pair the measure with an additive aggregation function. The interface may also enable the user to select non-additive dimensions and to pair each non-additive dimension with a corresponding aggregation function. One such aggregation function is a by account aggregation function, which enables each account in an account dimension to be aggregated across a corresponding non-additive dimension according to an associated account type.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2004Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Thierry D'hers, Thomas Conlon, Mosha Pasumansky, Irina Gorbach, Alexander Berger

Patent number: 7716253Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a centralized key performance indicator (KPI) framework and systems and methods of utilization. In particular, KPIs can be defined and centrally stored as data or metadata in a data store. Systems and methods are provided to enable, among other things, KPI definition, storage, identification of defined or available KPIs, and interaction with the KPIs. For instance, an interface is provided to allow KPI data to be requested and retrieved from a source such as a database. A generic application program or users thereof can then interact with and display KPI data without knowing anything a priori about the stored data or the structure thereof.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2005Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Amir Netz, Robert B. Zare, Mosha Pasumansky, Irina G. Gorbach, Cristian Petculescu, Thierry D'Hers

Patent number: 7533348Abstract: A calendar customization system comprises an interface component that receives responses to one or more questions relating to a calendar. A execution automatically generates a multi-dimensional structure for the calendar, the structure generated as a function of the responses. For example, the multi-dimensional structure can relate to a Gregorian calendar, a fiscal calendar, a reporting calendar, a manufacturing calendar, and/or an ISO8601 calendar.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2005Date of Patent: May 12, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Thierry D'Hers, Aleksandar Juric, Akshai M. Mirchandani

Publication number: 20060020608Abstract: A system that facilitates semi-automatically producing an output relating to a multi-dimensional data object comprises an interface component that receives responses to one or more questions and produces commands that are a function of the responses. An execution engine executes the commands and manipulates the multi-dimensional data object in accordance with the responses. For example, the multi-dimensional object can relate to one or more of a data cube, a dimension, a data source, an attribute, a property, and a mining model.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2005Publication date: January 26, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Thierry D'Hers, Aleksandar Juric, Robert Zare

Publication number: 20060010058Abstract: The subject invention pertains to generation of a support structure for currency conversion. More specifically, systems and methods are disclosed to generate a currency conversion infrastructure automatically. Users can be queried and specify currency conversion parameters and configuration in business terms without specific knowledge of technical implementation details. The systems and methods retrieve the business term answers and translate them into a corresponding currency conversion system by generating one or more of technical schemas, data, logic, rules, views, and dimensions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2005Publication date: January 12, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Thierry D'Hers, Aleksandar Juric

Patent number: 6519599Abstract: Visualization of high-dimensional data sets is disclosed, particularly the display of a network model for a data set. The network, such as a dependency or a Bayesian network, has a number of nodes having dependencies thereamong. The network can be displayed items and connections, corresponding to nodes and dependencies, respectively. Selection of a particular item in one embodiment results in the display of the local distribution associated with the node for the item. In one embodiment, only a predetermined number of the items are shown, such as only the items representing the most popular nodes. Furthermore, in one embodiment, in response to receiving a user input, a sub-set of the connections is displayed, proportional to the user input.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2000Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: D.
