  • Patent number: 11675801
    Abstract: A method generates data visualizations. A computing device retrieves a set of tuples from a database according to user selection. Each tuple has the same set of fields. The device identifies a relation between tuples. The relation is a non-empty set of ordered pairs of tuples from the set of tuples. A user selects a base tuple from the set of tuples and the device forms a filtered subset of tuples consisting of the selected base tuple and those tuples that are connected to the selected base tuple by a sequence of tuples that are related by the relation. The user selects an aggregation level, which consisting of fields from the set of fields. The device generates and displays a data visualization by aggregating the filtered subset of tuples at the selected aggregation level to form a set of aggregated tuples, and displaying each aggregated tuple as a visible mark.

  • Patent number: 11645260
    Abstract: A database management engine provides a user interface that allows users to access and modify employee information in a database. The database includes entries for employees, and each database entry includes identifying information about the associated employee. A user can request to modify data within database entries, for instance in order to update information associated with an employee. Responsive to the request, the database management engine identifies liabilities associated with the database modification stemming from associated tax laws. Based on the identified tax liabilities, the engine computes the aggregate tax liability owed by the employer and/or employee. Before modifying a database entry, the engine modifies the user interface to include interface elements detailing the computed aggregate tax liability. The user explicitly can be required to confirm the database modification in view of the aggregate tax liability.
