System and method for deriving and visualizing business intelligence data
First Claim
1. A business intelligence visualization system for presenting business intelligence data to a user, the visualization system comprising:
- a node tree structure generation mechanism for generating a node as a portion of a tree for displaying data; and
a drilling component for allowing user selection of at least one additional node for generation by the node tree structure generation mechanism.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for deriving business intelligence (BI) data and exploring the derived data. The system may include a business intelligence engine and a business intelligence visualizer. The BI engine may be responsible for deriving or discovering fact summary data. The fact summary data may include aggregated or trend data in addition to the dimension or measure data. The BI engine may include components for determining fact summary data such as “What'"'"'s Hot” and “What'"'"'s Not Hot”. The components of the BI engine may include an algorithm for automatically generating “hotness scores” for members of dimensions or combinations of dimensions. The BI visualizer provides a chart node tree display for user exploration.

9. A business intelligence system for deriving and displaying business intelligence data, the system comprising:
-
a business intelligence engine for analyzing information from a database, the business intelligence engine comprising, a change calculation mechanism for calculating a measure of change between a member value or function of a member value during a previous time period and a member value or function of a member value in a current time period, a relevance calculation mechanism for calculating a member value percentage within a category, and a hot value calculation module for calculating whether a member has a hot status based upon the relevance calculation and the change calculation for that member; and
a business intelligence visualizer for creating a graphic display for conveying at least one of change, relevance, and hot item status. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
