  • Patent number: 11962720
    Abstract: Interactive dialog communication via callbacks is provided by a dialog execution environment executed in response to a selection of a first user interface element in a panel execution environment. The dialog execution environment receives a first set of information including a callback method. A dialog includes a second user interface element selectable to show a second set of information. To obtain this information, the dialog execution environment sends a request for the second set of information to the panel execution environment via the callback method. The panel execution environment sends a request for the second set of information to a server and receives a response including the second set of information. The dialog execution environment receives a response including the second set of information from the panel execution environment and provides the second set of information in a user interface of the dialog.

  • 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: 11842024
    Abstract: Embodiments may be associated with a user interface design for an application. An intelligent user interface platform may collect user experience data associated with a user's interactions with the application over time (e.g., user actions, touchscreen interactions, computer mouse clicks, attention information, context information, etc.). The intelligent user interface platform may then analyze the user experience data (e.g., looking for most visited interface locations, most used actions, infrequently accessed functions, common user mistakes, etc.). The intelligent user interface platform may also automatically create a user interface design adjustment based on the analysis. For example, the user interface design adjustment might be associated with a menu item, a sub-menu item, an application action, an icon location, adding a display element, removing a display element, etc.

  • Patent number: 11816320
    Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems are disclosed for displaying paginated growing widgets. At generation time, a pagination service negotiates widget bounds. The pagination service transmits proposed bounds and a starting index to the growing widgets and receives a number of items that can be displayed as well as updated bounds for all items that can be displayed. The pagination service creates a cache entry including a widget identifier, updated widget bounds, and a starting and ending widget data item index. If a particular page is not present in the widget pagination cache, the pagination service performs another bounds negotiation. At display time, the pagination service instructs each of the paginated growing widgets to render updated widget data items based on a corresponding widget pagination cache entry, without reprocessing a document object model associated with a front-end application on which the paginated growing widgets are displayed.

  • Patent number: 11809444
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to linked filter groups for linking a driver element of a user interface to a receiver element of the user interface such that data filters applied to driver element are propagated to the receiver element. A first linked group may include a first set of filters for a first visualization of the driver element and a first set of element identifiers of other elements in the user interface, including a first identifier of a first receiver element. When updating visualizations of the receiver element, the first set of filters of the first linked group may be aggregated with a second set of filters of the first receiver element based on the receiver element being a member of the first linked group. As such, the updates to the receiver element are based on both sets of filters.

  • Patent number: 11803761
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to processing a data model having hierarchical data. A front-end computer sends a request to a back-end computer for dimension candidates for the data model, which is visualized by the front-end computer. The front-end computer is configured score and rank such dimension candidates in order to determine statistics from the data model. The back-end computer determines dimension candidates based on their cardinality and hierarchical information and sends the dimension candidates to the front-end computer. The front-end computer performs the scoring and ranking of dimension candidates and determines statistics for a set of the dimension candidates. The statistics may be presented to a user along with charts and graphs representing the data model.

  • Publication number: 20230316111
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are described for analyzing results of a machine learning model. A result is obtained for a data set that includes a first plurality of features. A plurality of feature groups are defined. At least one feature group contains a second plurality of features of the first plurality of features. The second plurality of features is less than all of the first plurality of features. Feature groups can be defined based on determining dependencies between features of the first plurality of features, including using contextual contribution values. Group contextual contribution values can be determined for feature groups by aggregating contextual contribution values of the constituent features of the feature groups.

  • Patent number: 11734864
    Abstract: Using approximated bin intervals to label the histograms provides clarity and allows for the histogram to be more intuitively understood. A dataset may comprise a plurality of records having a plurality of features including one or more continuous features. A selection of a continuous feature may be obtained. A bin width based on a number of bins and feature statistics of the continuous feature may be determined. An approximated bin interval range is determined by applying a bin mask based on the bin width to the feature statistics. An approximated bin width is determined based on the number of bins and the approximated bin interval range. Approximated bin intervals for the histogram are determined based on the approximated bin width. A histogram is generated having bins with intervals based the approximated bin intervals.

  • Patent number: 11733889
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for generating names for cloud storage containers. A unique identifier associated with a user of the client device is received from the client device. Next, a hash value is generated based on the unique identifier associated with the user of the client device. A character encoding scheme is then used to encode the hash value into a first encoded value. Instances of a first character in the encoded value is replaced with a defined second character to form a second encoded value. Finally, the second encoded value is sent to a cloud storage service for the cloud storage service to create a storage container using the second encoded value as a name of the storage container.

  • Patent number: 11727030
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for automatically detecting hot areas in heat map visualizations. One example method includes identifying a two-dimensional heat map. The identified two-dimensional heat map is converted to a one-dimensional heat map. Cells of the one-dimensional heat map are clustered using a density-based clustering algorithm to generate at least one dense region of cells. A mean value of cells in each dense region is calculated and the dense regions are sorted by mean value in descending order. An approach for identifying hot areas is selected and the selected approach is used to identify at least one dense region as a hot area of the one-dimensional heat map.
