Appeal 2006-3245
Application 10/383,224
SUMMARY OF DECISION
We REVERSE.
THE INVENTION
Appellants invented a method to detect anomalies in which the concept of
normal behavior varies with time (Specification 1: [0001]). Claim 1, reproduced
below, is representative of the subject matter on appeal.
1. A method for teaching an anomaly detecting mechanism in a
system comprising observable elements, at least one of which has a
periodic time dependent behaviour, the anomaly detecting mechanism
comprising a computerized learning mechanism having an input space
for defining input data comprising input data components, the method
comprising the following steps:
assembling indicators indicating the behaviour of the
observable elements and arranging the assembled indicators such that
each indicator corresponding to each observable element is assigned
to the same input data component;
teaching the learning mechanism such that the input data of the
learning mechanism comprises the input data components which are
based on the assembled indicators;
placing points which approximate the input data in the input
space; and
incorporating a presentation of time into at least one input data
component,
wherein the presentation of time is periodic, continuous and
unambiguous within a period of the at least one element with periodic
time-dependent behaviour.
