What changed

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted patent US12586035B2 for an interactive user interface designed for a time series planning, evaluation, and prediction system. This system is intended for obtaining audit evidence based on time-structured input data. The patent, assigned to EY GmbH & Co. KG Wirtschaftsprufungsgesellschaft, details an interface that allows users to input audit parameters and presents time series charts indicating acceptance bounds, identifying samples that fall outside these bounds as key items.

This patent grant represents a new intellectual property asset for the assignee. While it does not impose direct regulatory obligations on other entities, it may influence the development and licensing of similar technologies in the audit and data analytics sectors. Companies developing or utilizing systems for audit evidence collection and time series analysis should be aware of this patent's claims, particularly concerning interactive user interfaces and the identification of anomalous data points.

Abstract

There is provided an interactive user interface (1100) for time series planning, evaluation and prediction system to be employed for obtaining audit evidence, wherein audit evidence is to be obtained based upon input data pertaining to given use case, input data being in time structured form, interactive user interface comprising: (i) input interface element that enables user to input plurality of audit parameters; and (ii) output interface element that enables time series planning, evaluation and prediction system to present to user: (a) time series chart representing variation in response variable with respect to time, wherein time series chart indicates upper acceptance bound and lower acceptance bound and is generated for plurality of samples associated based upon input data, plurality of audit parameters and at least one explanatory variable; and (b) key items, wherein key items are identified as samples that fall outside upper acceptance bound and lower acceptance bound in time series chart.
