  • Patent number: 10558743
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable optimizing a display of tabular data from a 2-D table as a folding 3-D table having a plurality of vectors in a GUI. More specifically, a scaling ratio is calculated to fit the plurality of vectors within a display area of the GUI based on a cumulative width of the plurality of vectors and a width of the display area of the GUI. This scaling ratio is applied to a width of at least one vector to yield a modified width of the vector. The 2-D table is then rendered as a 3-D table in which the at least one vector is depicted as a modified vector angled between a horizontal and a vertical axis. This modified vector has an actual width equal to the modified width and a diagonal length equal to the width of the at least one vector.

  • Patent number: 10437428
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to systems and methods for copying and pasting data. More specifically, some embodiments relate to selective cut and paste feature where the user can select non-adjacent (or non-contiguously located) portions of the source data that can be copied to the clipboard and pasted to a desired destination. In addition, some embodiments, provide for a partial paste functionality that allows users to paste only a portion of the data stored on the clipboard. In some embodiments, a modality of an application or modality of the data can be determined by the copy/paste application. For example, the modality may indicate that the data is an image or text. Based on the modality of the application or modality of the data, a set of partial paste functionalities (e.g., OCR, cropping, editing, data subset selection, etc.) can be offered to the user.

  • Patent number: 9760271
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product visualizes tabular data with dynamically-generated frozen regions. A control and coordination mechanism oversees modification of a visualization of a browser-based main data table. A cloning and sizing process recursively traverses regions of the browser-based main data table to selectively clone and size regions of the browser-based main data table to be frozen, wherein the regions of the browser-based main data table to be frozen are selectable from any area of the browser-based main data table. An element insertion and positioning process positions and makes visible each newly cloned frozen region, wherein each newly cloned frozen region overlays a region of the browser-based main data table. A responsiveness process uses event listeners and polling mechanisms to detect actions and changes in a table viewport of a visible portion of the browser-based main data table to trigger regeneration of each newly cloned frozen region.
