  • Patent number: 11914667
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program. The program receives a visualization collection definition specifying a plurality of visualization definitions for a plurality of visualization definitions. Each visualization definition in the plurality of visualization definitions specifies a multi-dimensional array of data definition. The program further identifies a set of multi-dimensional array of data definitions specified in the plurality of visualization definitions of the visualization collection definition. The program also sends a request for the set of multi-dimensional array of data definitions to a computing system. The program further receives the set of multi-dimensional array of data definitions from the computing system. The program also stores the set of multi-dimensional array of data definitions in a cache storage of the mobile device for later use.

  • Patent number: 11556432
    Abstract: A method for accessing data stored in a database may include generating a snapshot of a definition of a data story that includes a software widget configured to receive inputs for creating, based on a portion of data stored in the database, a data presentation providing a visual representation of the data. In response to a first indication to apply a filter removing some of the data associated with the data presentation, modifying a runtime definition of the data story to reflect the application of the filter. In response to a second indication to reset the filter, restoring the data story to a state prior to the application of the filter by replacing the runtime definition of the data story with the snapshot of the definition of the data story. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11537413
    Abstract: The presentation of data models (a story) on a mobile device having limited memory and processing resources includes instantiating widgets one at a time for interaction with a user. When the user completes their interaction, the instance of that widget is removed from memory (destroyed); widgets are therefore stateless. A context framework that manages the application of filters to widgets that comprise the story. When a filter is applied, widget snapshot images used to display corresponding widgets in a collection view can be updated to reflect state changes of affected corresponding widgets so that users can see the state changes despite the widget being stateless.

  • Patent number: 11222023
    Abstract: A system includes reception of a request to execute queries associated with an interactive data visualization, building, based on the request, of all queries required by the interactive data visualization on a background thread, reception of a query response associated with each built query on the background thread, building of a final response on the background thread based on the received query responses, and rendering, on a main thread, of the interactive data visualization based on the final response.

  • Patent number: 11176204
    Abstract: A method for accessing data stored in a database may include receiving, at an application, a request to load a data story that includes a software widget configured to create, based on a portion of data stored in a database coupled with a cloud-based analytics engine, a data presentation providing a visual representation of the portion of data. In response to the request to load the data story, a scripting engine associated with the application may execute a first programming code associated with the software widget. The first programming code may be executed to retrieve, from the cloud-based analytics engine, visualization data for rendering the data presentation. An in-app web browser associated with the application may execute a second programming code associated with the software widget. The second programming code may be executed to render, based on the visualization data retrieved from the cloud-based analytics engine, the data presentation.

  • Patent number: 11068558
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a program. The program receives from a first webview a first request for data for a first visualization in a plurality of visualizations specified in a visualization collection definition. The program further retrieves the data for the first visualization in the plurality of visualizations. The program also sends the first webview the data for the first visualization in order for the first webview to render the first visualization. The program further receives from a second webview a second request for data for a second visualization in the plurality of visualizations specified in the visualization collection definition. The program also retrieves the data for the second visualization in the plurality of visualizations using the background processing thread. The program further sends the second webview the data for the second visualization in order for the second webview to render the second visualization.

  • Patent number: 11023098
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to rendering on a mobile device. In one embodiment, a list of widgets to be rendered on a display stored in a priority queue. Widgets in the priority queue are sent to rendering software components based on a specified priority in the queue. The priority is based on whether or not the widgets are in a display area of a display. In one embodiment, data for widgets in the queue is retrieved during rendering of other widgets, and priority is based on whether data for a particular widget in the queue is available.

  • Patent number: 10866707
    Abstract: A method for accessing data stored in a database may include receiving, at an application, a request to load a data story including a first software widget and a second software widget. The first software widget and the second software widget each being configured to create, based on a portion of data stored in a database coupled with a cloud-based analytics engine, a corresponding data presentation providing a visual representation of at least the portion of data. The first software widget may be rendered while visualization data for the second software widget is retrieved from the cloud-based analytics engine, processed, and stored in a cache. Upon completing the rendering of the first software widget, the processed visualization data for the second software widget may be retrieved from the cache in order to render the second software widget. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.
