  • Patent number: 11934461
    Abstract: A method uses natural language for visual analysis of a dataset. A data visualization application displays a data visualization, at a computer, based on a dataset retrieved from a database using a set of one or more queries. A user specifies a natural language command related to the displayed data visualization, and the computer extracts an analytic phrase from the natural language command. The computer computes semantic relatedness between the analytic phrase and numeric data fields in the dataset. The computer identifies numeric data fields having highest semantic relatedness to the analytic phrase, and also selects a relevant numerical function. The numerical function compares data values in the numeric data fields to a threshold value. The computer retrieves an updated dataset that filters the identified numeric data fields according to the numeric function. The computer then displays an updated data visualization using the updated dataset.

  • Patent number: 11874877
    Abstract: A method uses natural language for visual analysis of a dataset, and is performed at a computer having a display, processors, and memory. The computer displays a data visualization based on a dataset retrieved from a database and receives a first user input to specify a natural language command related to the displayed data visualization. Based on the displayed data visualization and the natural language command, the computer identifies an initial range of values for a first data field in the dataset and displays an editable user interface control showing the initial range of values. The computer receives a second user input, at the user interface control, specifying a modified range of values for the first data field and retrieves an updated dataset from the database using the modified range of values for the first data field. The computer then updates the displayed data visualization using the updated dataset.

  • Patent number: 11049189
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for identifying a property usage type based upon sensor data includes, with customer permission or affirmative consent, receiving data generated by various sensors; generating a report that includes a listing of events recorded by each sensor; analyzing data from the report to determine a property usage type score; receiving data regarding types and levels of insurance coverage associated with the property usage type score; receiving data derived from a homeowner's insurance policy; comparing the types and levels of insurance coverage associated with the property usage type score with the types and levels of insurance coverage from the homeowner's current insurance policy; and transmitting a message to the homeowner to update their insurance policy if there are differences between (i) the insurance coverage that the homeowner has, and (ii) the insurance coverage the homeowner should have based upon the property usage type score.
