  • Patent number: 9361286
    Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for visual tracking of report changes are described herein. The used technique adds transitions between all steps of modification to a report document instead of static new pages. A classification module classifies the modifications and an identification module selects a visual effect to be used as transition state according to the classified modification.

  • Patent number: 8793701
    Abstract: Described are methods and systems related to data report and analysis. A first business intelligence (BI) block is imported to a host analytics user interface (UI). The first BI block includes synchronizable dimensions to synchronize values of the first BI block with other BI blocks, and propagatable dimensions to propagate values of the first BI block to other BI blocks. A host data context of the host analytics UI is updated by propagating the propagatable dimensions of the first BI block. A second BI block is imported to the host analytics UI. The second BI block includes at least one synchronizable dimension in common with at least one propagatable dimension of the first BI block. The synchronizable dimensions of the second BI block are synchronized to the updated host data context. The first BI block and the synchronized second BI block are rendered on the host analytics UI.

  • Publication number: 20080134082
    Abstract: A computer implemented method includes displaying a window with a first section characterizing a computing task and a second section with a progress bar and an interaction button. An overlay pane is displayed with a status message and an animation indicating that the computing task is active. The overlay pane covers at least a portion of the first section and is partially transparent such that a covered portion of the first section is visible through the overlay pane.
