  • Patent number: 8810595
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can support a declarative model-based approach to designing, constructing, and rendering visualizations. By complying with a declarative descriptor, components can be readily customized by way of modifications to the model—declaratively specifying suitable features, behaviors, appearances and so forth. The descriptors that conform to the model can also facilitate connecting to various data sources and performing data transformation operations. Moreover, the descriptors that conform to the model can declaratively specify relationships based upon a scene layout. Accordingly, the architecture can further describe the scene layout and provide features based upon the layout.

  • Patent number: 8570326
    Abstract: A visualization mechanism may use two sets of rules having different priorities to generate points of interest for a dataset, and display the dataset with labels for the points of interest. The first set of rules may identify and label points of interest by various mechanisms, including analysis of the dataset and comparison to other datasets. The second set of rules may de-clutter the points interest by filtering and aggregating the points of interest by various mechanisms including the priority of the rule that created the point of interest. A display generator may create the visualization of the dataset along with various labels. In some embodiments, the display generator may allow real time user interaction with the data, which may include resizing the visualization in which the filtering and aggregation may be re-applied.

  • Patent number: 8214765
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can construct a map for summarizing analyses with respect to data included in a database. In addition, the architecture can display the map in a special canvas area. Generally, the map is a hub-and-spoke-style map in which a hub is associated with an entity (e.g., a related set of records) included in a database. Likewise, the spokes are typically representative of operations (e.g., filter, join, transform) that act upon the hub/entity from which it extends. The map can aid with open-ended analysis on complex databases by recording and ordering competing hypotheses and can also further collaborative efforts with respect to analysis.

  • Publication number: 20110285727
    Abstract: A method that facilitates smoothly animating content of a graphical user interface includes acts of receiving a description of a first virtual scene and receiving a description of a second virtual scene. The method also includes an act of causing an animated transition to be displayed on a display screen of a computing device between the first virtual scene and the second virtual scene at a graphical object level based at least in part upon the description of the first virtual scene and the description of the second virtual scene, wherein the animated transition at the graphical object level is an animated change of a graphical object between the first virtual scene and the second virtual scene.
