  • Patent number: 8972467
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for selecting a data set from a plurality of data sets by means of a multi-touch input device, the data sets being connected with each other according to a topology of a graph, the input device comprising: a multi-touch screen, a motion sensing unit, and an acceleration sensing unit, the method comprising: displaying a view by the multi-touch screen, the view comprising a plurality of GUI elements, each GUI element representing one of the data sets, whereby one of the GUI elements is used as current GUI element; detecting, by the motion sensing unit, one or more first tilting motions; determining at least one candidate GUI element in dependence on the one or more first tilting motions; highlighting the at least one candidate GUI element; detecting a first shaking motion; automatically selecting, upon the detection of the first shaking motion, the data set represented by the highlighted GUI element.

  • Patent number: 8767019
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides for specifying a processing operation by means of a gesture by way of a first and second database, tables, organizational graphs, organizational nodes, KPI-values (including aggregated KPI values, O-aggregated KPI-values), and an application where the application displays the O-aggregated KPI values retrieved from the first database or received from the second database in an organization view of the GUI, the organization view displaying the current organization node and its direct child organization nodes, the organization view enabling the user to navigate within the organization graph, whereby a selection of one of the displayed organization nodes triggers a re-execution wherein the selected organization node is used as the current organization node.
