  • Method and system for creating graphical and interactive representations of input and output data
    Patent number: 8225223
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and tool which allows users to create interactive representations of input and output data, and simulate the associated algorithms used to manipulate this data, that are used in spreadsheet applications and other similar software programs. The interactive simulation is visually represented by a customizable set of components which hereinafter will be referred to as a control pane. The control panels can consist of a variety of components which include user interface elements (such as sliders, buttons, and checkboxes), charts and maps. The underlying simulation is generated based on data sources within an application software program file (e.g., spreadsheet data cells) selected by the user during the control panel creation process.

  • Apparatus and method for using connector components to provide connectivity to interactive graphics representative of input and output data
    Patent number: 7895578
    Abstract: A computer readable medium includes executable instructions to allow the designation of a connector component provided within a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The selection of a graphic component within the GUI is supported. The connector component is associated with the graphic component. The connector component is associated with a data source. An interactive control panel incorporating the connector component and the graphic component is generated. The interactive control panel presents data from the data source.
