  • Patent number: 10839571
    Abstract: Large data sets (e.g., with millions of records) are represented by a heat map within a user interface (UI). Each record in the data set includes a label. The labels of the records are assigned to leaf nodes of a data structure. The leaf nodes are mapped to a grid of cells according to a layout method. Furthermore, values are determined for the cells based on data records having the labels mapped to the cells. A visual property is selected for each cell based on the corresponding value. Since the data labels are stored in leaf nodes that are connected to internal nodes, if a zoom state of the heat map results in a display of a number of data labels that exceeds the number of cells in the grid, values of the cells can be updated according to values determined from the internal nodes without losing the connections between the cells and the underlying leaf nodes.
