  • System and method for selecting individual parameters to transition from text-to-graph or graph-to-text
    Patent number: 9330507
    Abstract: A system and method for selecting individual parameters to transform from text-to-graph and graph-to-text is disclosed. The system includes a display device having a display screen for showing multiple views, including a non-graph view and a graph view. The non-graph view includes a plurality of demarcated portions, each having a graph selection element, a parameter identifier that corresponds to the graph selection element, and a current parameter value that corresponds to the graph selection element. The graph selection element may be selected to show a graph view. The graph view includes a first parameter identifier and a first current parameter value each corresponding to the selected graph selection element, a text selection element, and a graph of multiple parameter values associated with the first parameter identifier. Upon selection of the text selection element, the screen returns to the non-graph view.
