Abstract: The implementations described herein include methods and systems for ranking data visualizations. A method is performed at a computing device having one or more processors and memory storing programs for execution by the processors. The method receives user selection of a set of data fields and identifies data visualizations that use each data field in the user-selected set. The method automatically forms modified sets of data fields that each differ from the user-selected set by at most two atomic operations, each selected from: removing or adding a data field; replacing a user-selected data field with a hierarchically narrower or broader data field; or adding, removing, or modifying a filter for a data field. The method identifies alternative data visualizations using each respective modified set, computes a score for each data visualization and alternative data visualization, and presents high scoring data visualizations and high scoring alternative data visualizations to the user.

Abstract: A method of validating a design for a graphical user interface of a motor vehicle includes creating a tentative design, and/or a few drafts or prototype for the graphical user interface. A blurred version of the tentative graphical user interface design is produced. The blurred version of the tentative graphical user interface design is tested for readability and whether the overall GUI design is suited to be perceived at a glance. If it is determined that the blurred version of the tentative graphical user interface design is not readable or understandable, then the graphical user interface is redesigned and the producing and testing steps are repeated for the redesigned graphical user interface. After the blurred graphical user interface design has been determined to be readable, then a higher fidelity graphical user interface is made.

If the object of the target is displayed in the display area, the apparatus executes the processing on the object in accordance with the user operation, but if the object of the target is not displayed in the display area, the apparatus suspends execution of the processing.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device detects an event corresponding to a change in a graphical user interface displayed by the computing device; the computing device identifies at least one operation based on the detected event; the computing device determines a state of the identified operation; the computing device also defers the identified operation based at least in part on the determined state.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for determining a data standardization score for an attribute of a dataset. A data standardization score is calculated, which reflects whether data quality of attribute values would increase if a standardization rule is applied to the attribute values. Based on attribute metadata, it may be determined whether an indication to carry or not to carry out standardization is available for at least part of the attribute values of the dataset. In response to finding the indication, a respective value may be set for the data standardization score. In response to not finding the indication, a data standardization score algorithm may be run on the at least part of the attribute values of the dataset. The data standardization score value may be compared to a predefined criterion to determine whether data standardization is to be applied on the attribute.

Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a plurality of image elements arranged in a display layout. When user input selecting one of the image elements is received, a first animation sequence for an information panel associated with the selected image element may be displayed, wherein the information panel swings down from a bottom edge of the selected image element. As the information swings down, the selected image element may also be enlarged until it reaches a pre-determined size with respect to a display of the computing device. In response to receiving user input dismissing the selected image element, another animation sequence may shrink the selected image element while showing the information panel swinging up and eventually disappearing.
