User-defined anomaly detection rules for computing platform
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886278B2) discloses a computing platform designed to facilitate anomaly detection in streaming event queues. The platform includes program instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by at least one processor, enable the platform to create, store, retrieve, and convert anomaly detection rules into streaming query statements. These rules are then applied iteratively to streaming event queues to identify anomalies based on user-defined conditions. The platform can issue anomaly notifications to users based on the detected anomalies. The system allows users to define anomaly conditions, analyze subsets of streaming events, evaluate data fields, and perform various forms of data analysis to detect anomalies effectively.
Furthermore, the computing platform maintains a schema for the streaming event queues and can determine user-selectable options based on permissions information and schema registry data. The platform can also handle schema updates, ensuring that any requests involving the removal of data fields are appropriately managed. By generating anomaly events, writing them to designated event queues, and issuing notifications to users based on anomaly detection rules, the platform provides a comprehensive solution for anomaly detection in streaming data. Overall, the patented technology offers a robust and user-friendly approach to anomaly detection in real-time data streams, enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of anomaly identification processes.
