  • Patent number: 9141641
    Abstract: According to an example embodiment, a method may include accessing, by at least one processor from at least one non-transitory computer-readable memory device, a map and a hierarchy of places included in the map. The method may also include accessing, by the at least one processor from the at least one non-transitory computer-readable memory device, quantitative information associated with places in the hierarchy. The method may also include receiving a scaling input from a user. The method may also include determining, by the at least one processor, a level in the hierarchy at which to aggregate the quantitative information, based on the scaling input. The method may also include aggregating, by the at least one processor, the quantitative information for a plurality of the places at the determined level, the aggregating including independently aggregating the quantitative information associated with places below at least two of the plurality of places at the determined level.

  • Patent number: 8775955
    Abstract: A plurality of digital resources are identified in a set of digital resources. An indication of a user selection of at least one criteria is received, the user selection received through a user interface. A degree of correlation is determined between each digital resource in the plurality and each of the criteria. Data is sent that is configured for use in presenting, in a window of the user interface, a plurality of graphical resource objects and at least one graphical attractor object, each graphical resource object representing a digital resource in the plurality of digital resources and each graphical attractor object representing one of the criteria. Each resource object is presented a distance from each attractor object, the distance based at least in part on the corresponding degree of correlation between the digital resource represented by the resource object and the criteria represented by the attractor object.

  • Publication number: 20100088619
    Abstract: What is described is a method and system for development of interactive user interfaces. The interfaces provide visualization environment and the opportunity for creating visual applications with minimal coding. A scene is selected from a scene catalogue and a visualization object is selected and displayed on the scene. A data source is selected from backend data. A parameter from the content of the data source is connected to a property of the visualization object to create a script to modify the property. The script is customized and the processed visualization object is displayed on a GUI.
