AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a process where data mining is used to collect performance assessment data and this data is then prioritized based on user-defined weight values. The results of this prioritization are then converted into plain language notes to make it easier for humans to understand the data. The technical effect of this process is that it provides a more efficient and effective way to manage and analyze large amounts of data.

Problems solved by technology

However, data processing and analysis is not always user friendly as understanding a large amount of structured data is a daunting task.
But, effectively analyzing performance data requires consideration of incredible amounts of information to reduce variable uncertainty.
Bulk number crunching becomes a difficult task when the valuable insight is drowned in a sea of numbers and statistics.
Therefore, this manual based approach to identifying performance metrics consumes both time and resources.
Manually digesting performance data can be cumbersome in light of the current number of statistical categories monitored.
Additionally, these predictive modeling systems rarely consider the unique priority various users place on certain data sets.
The predictive results are typically as hard to digest and read as the raw data itself to the average human user.
Additionally, current systems modeling performance assessment may not provide results in a user-friendly manner, as discussed above.

example 1

[0077]Using weight loss / physical fitness, category prioritization (action block 2030) may apply the standard classification scheme to physical fitness assessment data. Granularity places priority on notes according level of detail: high granularity (e.g., routine workouts to generate “Susan has burned an average of 200 calories while bike riding on Sundays in the past 10 weeks.”); medium granularity (e.g., time-frame split diet to generate “Susan had 8 servings of vegetables since last Tuesday.”); and low granularity (e.g., single performances to generate “Susan ran 2 miles today.”).

[0078]Sample size significance classifies notes as follows: highly significant sample size (e.g., with a sample size of one year, “Susan has lost 30 pounds (25 percent of her starting weight) in the last 365 days.”); medium sample size significance (e.g., with a sample size of a month, “Susan's weight has decreased from 140 pounds to 135 pounds this month.”); and low sample size significance (e.g., singl...

[0081]Using interactive gaming (e.g., online video poker), category prioritization (action block 2030) may apply the standard classification scheme to gaming assessment data. Granularity places priority on notes according level of detail: high granularity (e.g., specific event to generate “You have averaged +20 credits when being dealt a pair of sevens or lower this month. The average player is even.” or “User has hit the green 18 of 20 times with his drive on the par-three 18th hole at Sawgrass in Tiger Woods Golf.”); medium granularity (e.g., less detailed event to generate “You have been dealt a pair 30 percent of the time this week. The average player is dealt a pair 20 percent of the time.” or “You have won the last 4 times you played John Smith and used Roy Halladay as your starting pitched in MLB The Show.”); and low granularity (e.g., general detail to generate “You averaged −25 credits this week.” or “You have won the last 4 times you played John Smith in Modern Warfare II....

[0085]Using finance, category prioritization (action block 2030) may apply the standard classification scheme to stock market assessment data. Granularity places priority on notes according level of detail: high granularity (e.g., specific stock event “The most volatile stock in the S&P 500 in the past 60 days has been Netflix (NFLX), with a high of 242 and a low of 129 in that timeframe.”); medium granularity (e.g., smaller time split “Citigroup (C) stock has risen 2.9% in the last 30 days; the rest of the banking sector is down −12.3%.”); and low granularity (e.g., general stock trend “Shares of Verizon (VZ) are down 9 percent since May 1.”).

[0086]Sample size significance classifies notes as follows: highly significant sample size (e.g., “Southwest Airlines (LUV) stock has been positive 210 days and negative 103 days in the last calendar year.”); medium sample size significance (e.g., “The biggest large-cap gainer in tech stocks in the past 120 days has been Cypress Semiconductor ...

Abstract

The field of the invention relates to systems and methods for data mining and processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for automating content from performance assessment data. In one embodiment, an automated notes and categorization system may include a primary database comprising performance assessment data. The primary database is operatively coupled to a computer program product having a computer-usable medium having a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes said processor to execute a process that analyzes and converts raw performance data into automated content that presents data in readable user friendly form to facilitate human understanding.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]Related to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 533,936; filed Sep. 13, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The field of the invention relates to systems and methods for data mining and processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for automating content from performance assessment data.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Performance assessment data is an important aspect of the business, analysis, and appreciation of professional / fantasy sports, stock markets, mutual funds, personal fitness, student education, video gaming, consumer sales, and so on. Athletic teams, coaches, scouts, agents, and fans evaluate performance data and statistics for comparing the performance of teams and individual athletes. Game strategy and player potential are often based on predictive models using this data. Similarly, organizations and individuals evaluate corporate performance data to rank performance, reward good performance, ...
