Finding rules and exceptions from databases
First Claim
1. A method of finding rules and exceptions from a database is characterized by adopting four stages and their realization on computers, the four stages comprising:
- an adaptive stage for creating a parameter file as the rules and exceptions finding conditions according to a receipted specification that is decided by a user, and displaying a result of generated rules and exceptions to the user;
a data model stage for analyzing a series of parameters from said parameter file and retrieving data from one or more databases according to the series of parameters;
a problem formulator stage for transforming said retrieved data into a formalized data structure suitable for said series of parameters, and creating a possible catalog of attributes; and
a solving stage for generating rules and exceptions from said formalized data by using said series of parameters and said catalog, and sending the result of generated rules and exceptions to said adaptive stage.

Abstract
A method for finding rules and exceptions from a database uses four stages programmed into a computer, wherein the four stages include an adaptive stage for creating in accordance with a user'"'"'s previously inputted specifications, a parameter file of rules and exceptions finding conditions in accordance with the user'"'"'s specifications, with the file being displayed to the user; a data model stage for analyzing the parameters from the parameter file, and retrieving data from one or more databases in accordance with the parameters; a problem formulator stage for transforming the retrieved data into a formalized data structure compatible with the parameters, and creating a catalog of possible attributes; and a solving stage for generating rules and exceptions from the formalized data by using the parameters and the catalog, and sending the result to the adaptive stage.
