A system and method for receiving time series data, representing the time series data as vector data, generating a plurality of indices using the vector data, wherein each of the indices has a different resolution and independently searching each of the indices for a given event. The vector data may be Symbolic Aggregate approXimation (SAX) data and the indices are SAX indices.
Please help me write a proper abstract based on the patent claims. CLAIM: 1. A method, comprising: receiving time series data; representing the time series data as vector data; generating a plurality of indices using the vector data, wherein each of the indices has a different resolution; and independently searching each of the indices for a given event. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the vector data is Symbolic Aggregate approXimation (SAX) data and the indices are SAX indices. 3. A system, comprising: a memory that stores time series data; and a processor that represents the time series data as vector data, generates a plurality of indices using the vector data, wherein each of the indices has a different resolution and independently searching each of the indices for a given event.
