Patent number: 9245362Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for visually displaying data points using charts on a display screen with limited display area. A fish-eye distortion region allows presentation of detailed information for some data points compared to other data points that are displayed. The chart can be moved relative to the distortion region thereby changing the data points displayed within the fish-eye that present additional information. The relative movement between the chart and the distortion region is triggered by different kinds of inputs from the user including, tilting of the device, swiping with a pointing device and selecting a particular data point.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: MeLLmo, Inc.Inventors: Quinton Alsbury, David Becerra

Patent number: 9239672Abstract: Systems and methods perform comparison of data represented as charts, for example, bar graphs, pie charts, line charts or stacked bar charts. The charts present visual representations mapping source values to target values. A user can select charts associated with a data records for comparison from an index of data records. The user selects a chart and a particular source value from the reference chart. The target values corresponding to the source value from other charts are compared against the target value from the reference chart. An aggregate of the target values associated with the source value from each chart may be presented to the user. The user can also use multi-touch input to select object representing data and drag them to perform actions associated with the objects. The actions performed on the objects depend on the locations of the objects as the user drags them.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2012Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: MeLLmo Inc.Inventor: Joel Kraut

Patent number: 9189519Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for efficiently executing database queries using a computing device that includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a processing unit based on single instruction multiple thread (SIMT) architecture, for example, a GPU. A query engine determines a target processing unit to execute a database query based on factors including the type and amount of data processed by the query, the complexity of the query, and the current load on the processing units. An intermediate executable representation generator generates an intermediate executable representation for executing a query on a database virtual machine. If the query engine determines that the database query should be executed on an SIMT based processing unit, a native code generator generates native code from the intermediate executable representation. The native code is optimized for execution using a particular processing unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2014Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: MeLLmo Inc.Inventors: Santiago Becerra, Santiago E. Becerra, Alex C. Schaefer, John McInerney, Patrick Cheng

Patent number: 9135234Abstract: Collaborative generation of digital content with interactive reports is enabled. An editor selects a layout and assigns story blocks to authors. Story blocks include a textual component and an interactive report component. In one embodiment, the interactive report includes static data captured at authorship time. In another embodiment, the interactive report includes live data updated at read time. After an author creates a story block, it is submitted to the editor for review and approval. The editor may send the story block back to the author for subsequent editing prior to approval. Once the editor approves all of the content from all of the authors, the editor can publish the content. The resulting content is published as an interactive report or magazine, enabling readers to see not just the story content of the publication, but to interact with the reports and underlying data.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: MeLLmo, Inc.Inventors: Camilo Mattos, Santiago Becerra, Quinton Alsbury

Patent number: 9003332Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for effectively displaying database records on a device having a display area that is small compared to the underlying data being represented. A simulated catalogue is displayed with cards associated with database records. Detailed information is presented for a record on a card obscuring information related to other records. A user is allowed to swipe on the catalogue causing simulated movement of the cards thereby displaying information associated with a database record previously obscured. The catalogue is moved with an initial velocity determined by the speed of swiping and decelerated based on a drag factor until it comes to a stop and displays information for the record reached. The ability to determine the final record displayed when the catalogue stops allows pre-fetching of the data associated with the record.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2013Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: MeLLmo Inc.Inventors: Camilo Mattos, Joel Kraut, Alex C. Schaefer, Santiago Becerra, Patrick Cheng, Jaime Zuluaga

Patent number: 8810574Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for visually displaying data points using pie charts on a display screen with limited display area. Detailed information is presented for individual sectors compared to other sectors displayed. The sector is selected for displaying detailed information based on its orientation with respect to a centerline axis of the chart. The pie chart can be rotated to cause detailed information to be displayed for different sectors. The mechanism is used to display detailed information of data points for other kinds of charts including multi-series pie charts and donut charts.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2009Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: MeLLmo Inc.Inventors: Quinton Alsbury, David Becerra

Patent number: 8762867Abstract: Described embodiments enable display of graphical reports based on multi-category data. A graphical report is generated and displayed on the device. The graphical report includes data corresponding to selected values from multiple categories. All values for some categories are displayed near the chart, for example, using a textual representation. A graphical representation of the relative magnitude of each value in some categories is also displayed near the chart. When appropriate user input is received, the categories displayed as magnitudes are displayed textually, and categories displayed textually are displayed as magnitudes. When appropriate user input is received, the categories for which values are displayed are changed.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: MeLLmo Inc.Inventors: Camilo Mattos, Santiago Becerra, Quinton Alsbury

Patent number: 8239765Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for visually displaying data points using stacked bar charts on a display screen with limited display area. A magnification region allows presentation of detailed information for a stacked bar compared to other stacked bars displayed. A stacked bar within a magnification region can be further magnified to display additional information for individual bars within the stacked bar. An individual bar is expanded to a height suitable for displaying information associated with the bar.

Publication number: 20120112997Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media provide space-efficient user interfaces to data cubes and pivot table information. Because the user interfaces are more efficient in usage of display area, smaller displays can be used more effectively in reviewing such data. The user interfaces provide a multi-dimensional navigation approach among dimensions represented in the data, which allows users to more easily maintain context when reviewing large pivot table reports, and the like. Other user interface features that ease review of such reports on smaller devices also are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2012Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: MELLMO INC.Inventors: Santiago Becerra, SR., Quinton Alsbury, Jaime Zuluaga, David Becerra, Claire B.
