  • System and method for an interactive filter
    Patent number: 8423909
    Abstract: A system applies an interactive filter. The system includes a data storage device, a display device, a user interface input device, and a processor. The data storage device stores data. The display device displays an initial representation of the data. The user interface input device facilitates a localized selection of a portion of the initial representation displayed on the display device. The localized selection is determined by hovering a navigation icon in alignment with a selection area corresponding to the portion of the initial representation. The processor dynamically applies a filter parameter to the portion of the initial representation based on the localized selection from the user interface input device.
