Method and system for state encoding
View Patent ↗A system including equipment, sensors for measuring the equipment's operating parameters, a signature generator for encoding data streams from the sensors into operating signatures for the equipment, a pattern repository for storing patterns including classified signatures and frequencies, and a signature analyzer for comparing operating signatures to patterns.
1. A system comprising:
at least one piece of equipment;
a plurality of sensors adapted to measure one or more operating parameters of the equipment;
a signature generator adapted to encode a plurality of data streams from the sensors into an operating signature for the equipment;
a pattern repository comprising a pattern, wherein the pattern comprises a classified signature and a frequency specifying a number of occurrences of the classified signature over time; and
a signature analyzer configured to compare the operating signature to the pattern and perform an action based on the comparison.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an action repository comprising a number of actions, wherein the action performed by the signature analyzer is one of the number of actions.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operating signature comprises at least two of a high, normal, and low range bit string.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein:
the signature generator converts the bit string to a number.
