Pattern Analysis for a Multi-Dimensional Analytical System
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving input from a user through a guided user interface that restricts input to a set of available patterns that are identified with a user intent description and without requiring specific user knowledge of the set of available patterns;
identifying a pattern and at least one parameter from the user input; and
executing by a computer system the pattern on a multi-dimensional data source to obtain a report with deterministic values.

Abstract
A pattern analysis system enables a user to obtain specific analysis from multi-dimensional storage structures. The patterns analysis system guides the user interaction through the selection of specific available patterns. This enables the user to gain access to analytics data available in the multi-dimensional storage structure without specific knowledge of a command system syntax or semantics. Also, the user does not need knowledge of the contents or organization of the multi-dimensional storage structure.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
a pattern services module to receive a user input and provide a guided user interface that restricts the user input to one of a plurality of defined patterns that are displayed with a user intent description; and a pattern engine module coupled to the pattern services module, the pattern engine module to execute a pattern selected by the user on a multi-dimensional data source to generate a report with deterministic values. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

15. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed, cause a computer to perform a set of operations comprising:
-
generating a guided user interface to restrict user requests to a plurality of defined patterns identified by a user intent descriptor; executing by a computer system a user selected pattern to generate a report using a multi-dimensional data source to be output to a user, the output being deterministic. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
