Patent number: 10114875Abstract: A system (and corresponding methodology) by which a user can interact directly with visual data is provided. The system employs associations and relationships between visual data objects to automatically update objects based upon a change in other objects. The innovation also provides specialized controls (e.g., dashboard tools/controls) that facilitate manipulation of visual data. As there can be numerous manners in which a user can interact with visualization data, the innovation enables a specialized set of controls to be identified and provided to a user thereby reducing overwhelming effects of a large number of controls.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Gur Kimchi, Danyel Aharon Fisher, Brian L.

Patent number: 8810595Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can support a declarative model-based approach to designing, constructing, and rendering visualizations. By complying with a declarative descriptor, components can be readily customized by way of modifications to the model—declaratively specifying suitable features, behaviors, appearances and so forth. The descriptors that conform to the model can also facilitate connecting to various data sources and performing data transformation operations. Moreover, the descriptors that conform to the model can declaratively specify relationships based upon a scene layout. Accordingly, the architecture can further describe the scene layout and provide features based upon the layout.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Morten Holm-Peterson, Christian Olaf Abeln, Thomas Michael Casey, Stella Yick Chan, Benjamin L.

Patent number: 8788631Abstract: A system for extending an enterprise resource planning application is provided. The system employs “Add-ins” that each have a functional behavior that is independent of the client on which it executes and a user interface behavior that is dependent on the characteristics of the display, and other characteristics, of the client (i.e., a display target). When a user attempts to invoke an Add-in via the client runtime, the client runtime determines whether the Add-in is available at the user's computer. If not, the client runtime downloads the appropriate artifact for execution at the user's computer. In this environment, neither the client runtime nor the server-side business logic contains the logic used to implement a particular Add-in behavior on the supported display targets. Instead, this logic is contained within separate artifacts associated with a single Add-in having a particular behavior, each artifact implementing the behavior for a specific display target.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christian Olaf Abeln, Mehmet Kerem Kiziltunc, Stuart Glasson, Thomas Sondergaard Jensen, Uffe Kjall

Patent number: 8358308Abstract: Various types of data can be collected into a data set and related content and/or related concepts across the data in the data set and/or across search histories can be displayed as a visual representation. The related content/concepts can be presented as a function of incremental revealing of relationships. After reviewing the visual representation, a user can customize the data set and relationships by specifically excluding a related data segment. The visual representation can be applied across multiple searches or other obtained data. Through interaction with the visual representation, a user can drill down into common linkages of the data to more narrowly focus on a subset of the data and/or to refocus a search result and/or to provide annotations.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: George G. Robertson, Danyel A. Fisher, Bongshin Lee, Roland L. Fernandez, Lev Boris Nachmanson, Timothy Garry Dwyer, Mikkel Ronne Jakobsen, Olga Kulyk, Matthew Jay Kotler, Kipper V. Jewsbury, Brian L.

Publication number: 20120218254Abstract: Interactive data visualization features are provided, including three-dimensional (3D) visualization features and functionality, but the embodiments are not so limited. An exemplary method includes a declarative process of defining and using 3D data visualizations where visual appearance, states, and/or interaction options are based in part on an associated visualization model and/or measures of data. An exemplary computing architecture includes a number of components configured to provide declarative visualization design, interaction, and/or viewing features. Other embodiments are included and available.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2011Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventor: Christian Olaf Abeln

Patent number: 8214765Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can construct a map for summarizing analyses with respect to data included in a database. In addition, the architecture can display the map in a special canvas area. Generally, the map is a hub-and-spoke-style map in which a hub is associated with an entity (e.g., a related set of records) included in a database. Likewise, the spokes are typically representative of operations (e.g., filter, join, transform) that act upon the hub/entity from which it extends. The map can aid with open-ended analysis on complex databases by recording and ordering competing hypotheses and can also further collaborative efforts with respect to analysis.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Morten Holm-Petersen, George G.

Publication number: 20090327921Abstract: Modifications to a collection of data are maintained in chronological order and selectively rendered as a function of time. The selective rendering can include an animated version of the modification, which can include a timeline of events. The modifications can be associated with related data that includes information as to who made the modification, when the modification was made, and so forth. The related data can also include a motivation behind the modification. Further, confidence information can be related to the modification to add further detail to the modifications and events surrounding the collection of data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Morten Holm-Peterson, George G.
