Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for generating user interfaces that include a meta-chart framework for organizing and analyzing multi-dimensional hierarchical data in an efficient and intuitive graphical user interface with which a user can explore and consume prepared analytical elements. The predetermined structure of such user interfaces can include customizable and scalable graphical and/or alphanumeric analytic elements with contextual controls that can guide a user on a preconfigured analytical path, or “drill-down path,” to better explore and understand the multidimensional data. Such embodiments provide a turnkey analytical framework from which users can both immediately understand data and learn how to explore the data in greater depth.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating previews of list data in space constrained user interfaces are disclosed. In the available display area of a particular display device or user interface, a segment of a list of items are displayed. Values in the on-screen and off-screen portions of the list are analyzed and processed to generate previews of the list. One preview includes generating a box plot of the distribution of values in the list. An adaptively sized slider can then be generated relative to the box plot to indicate which part of the distribution is displayed in the list items that fit in the available display area. Another preview includes generating a composite row in the available display area that summarizes the data in one or more of the off-screen portions of the list. Such previews can include the sum or average of the values in the off-screen list items.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automated rule-based labeling of space constrained small format visual analytics are disclosed. A label engine receives visual analytic data and metadata. Using default or specific rules, the label engine analyzes the metadata to determine a number of measures and dimensions of the visual analytic data. The label engine then analyzes the measures, dimensions, and other metadata according to the rules to generate a set of labels, and a set of locations within the visual analytic into which to insert the set of labels. Placement of the labels can be based on the size and format of the visual analytic. In addition, the placement of the labels can be based on a dashboard framework in which the visual analytic is disposed. Any labels that are redundant with the information in the context of the dashboard framework can be omitted from visual analytic.

Abstract: Systems and methods for model based creation and editing of visual analytic dashboards are disclosed. A dashboard manager receives a dashboard model that defines the specification of a particular dashboard. In particular, the dashboard model can include description of the visual analytics to be rendered in the dashboard. The dashboard model can also include a description of the arrangement of the visual analytics. The dashboard models are compatible with a user interface framework that includes default or standardized navigation patterns for organizing and navigating among and within dashboards. The navigation pattern can include the specification of a number of separate horizontally navigable channels sections into which the visual analytics are groups by type. A title section can also be included with controls for horizontally navigating between multiple dashboard and panels.

Abstract: An example system generates, for a target data set, a navigable space based upon quantitatively-visualized menus. The navigable space is provided within a viewing area on a display device and comprises a stacked bar chart at the left end of a viewing area and, on the right end of the viewing area, a bar graph comprising set of bars. The stacked bar chart is also usable as an actionable menu.

Abstract: Systems and methods for retrieving, analyzing, and displaying summary analytics within a structured user interface framework are disclosed. The structured user interface can include an analysis digests section that includes and organizes individual discrete summary analytics in the form of analysis digests. Each analysis digests includes graphical and or alphanumeric visual representations of discrete analysis results according to analysis digest specifications associated with a particular user. An analysis digest section can include analysis digests selected by and/or associated with a particular user and/or analysis digests associated with a user associated with the particular user. Thus, through social networks, users may create and share analysis digests from within the structured user interface framework.

Abstract: What is disclosed is an arrangement of field of label augmented, multi-protocol routing of data packets in a network utilizing fixed length labels that are negotiated between adjacent label routing routers in the network. Portions of each routing label may be assigned by both upstream and downstream routers in the network. Routing labels are used in lieu of conventional address headers to route data packets through said network; and by using routing labels the routers have more flexibility in routing data packets through said network and can use network links between routers that normally carry less traffic.
