  • Patent number: 8860762
    Abstract: A system may include presentation of a visualization including a plurality of elements, detection of a first user input received at a first location of the visualization, determination of one of the plurality of elements located at least partially at the first location, presentation of the one of the plurality of elements as selected, detection of a second user input received at a second location of the visualization, determination of one or more of the plurality of elements located at least partially within a circular sector having a first radius from a third location of the visualization to the first location and a second radius from the third location to the second location, and presentation of the one or more of the plurality of elements located at least partially within the circular sector as selected.

  • Patent number: 8806345
    Abstract: Systems and methods for information exchange using generic data streams, wherein a data stream is sent from one computer system to another, and the receiving computer system is not aware of the structure of the information in the data stream. A header of the data stream includes a description of a data object. A body of the data stream includes information for instances of a data object stored on a computer system. The object is compliant with the description provided in the header of the data stream. The information in the body of the stream is extracted based on the description provided in the header of the data stream. A user interface (UI) is dynamically created based on the description of data object to display portions of the received information, and further to allow a user to change the information.

  • Patent number: 8370331
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for dynamic visualization of search results on a GUI are described herein. A search query received by a user is divided into a plurality of search parts. One or more search results for each of the plurality of search parts are retrieved. Further, a search result array is generated from the retrieved search results. Furthermore, Venn diagram graphical representation of the search results in the search result array is determined and the same is displayed on the GUI. The Venn diagram graphical representation defines display of search results in the Venn diagram and the relevancy ranking of the search results. In addition, the user can specify a weighting for each of the plurality of search parts, which dynamically determines display opacity of at least one of the associated search results and search part circles of the Venn diagram on the GUI.
