  • Publication number: 20160379391
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering displays in interest-driven business intelligence data visualization system of an inter-driven business intelligence system in accordance with some embodiments of the invention are illustrated. In one embodiment, an interest-driven data visualization system includes a processor, a memory configured to store an interest-driven business intelligence application, memory storing reporting data and metadata for the reporting data. The interest-driven business intelligence application includes a rendering process that adjusts the level of robustness of the rendered displays based upon current system performance information. Furthermore, the inter-driven business intelligence application may also include a table scrolling rendering process that periodically determines the location within the table and determines a viewport for the location. The viewport is then rendered and provided to the display.

  • Patent number: 9405812
    Abstract: Interest-driven business intelligence server systems that provide performance metadata are described. In the disclosed embodiments, an interest-driven business intelligence server system receives a report specification. The report specification includes at least reporting data requirement. The interest-driven business intelligence server determines performance metadata information for an interest-driven data pipeline that is utilized to generate reporting data based on the report specification. The performance metadata information for the interest-driven data pipeline is transmitted to an interest-driven user visualization system by the interest-driven business intelligence server system.
