Method and system for state encoding
View Patent ↗A system comprising at least one piece of equipment; a plurality of sensors adapted to measure one or more operating parameters of the equipment; and a signature generator adapted to encode a plurality of data streams from the sensors into an operating signature for the equipment.
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; and
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 first nested pattern and a second nested pattern; and a signature analyzer configured to compare the operating signature to the pattern and perform an action based on the comparison and wherein the first nested pattern comprises a classified signature and a frequency specifying a number of occurrences of the classified signature over time.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the pattern further comprises a sequence definition defining an ordering of the nested patterns.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the pattern further comprises a sequence definition defining an ordering of the nested patterns.
