Publication number: 20240134888Abstract: An interactive entity relationship diagram discovers explicitly defined relationships, and also dynamically discovers and represents non-explicit relationships. This entails calculating metadata and references by parsing the queries. An entity relationship diagram thereby provides novel visibility on the queries being related as the basis for a user interface which integrates several configuration utilities.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Christopher BURT, Ryan Christopher MCCLUSKEY, Graham ANDREWS, Matthew S.

Patent number: 10467337Abstract: Large and complex data sets can be difficult to view on devices with small screens, such as on smartphones, or in small windows on devices with large screens. The presently disclosed systems, methods and apparatus can determine characteristics associated with a display used to display a requested resource. Based on these determined characteristics, the systems and methods can determine whether the requested resource should be reformatted to fit the display. The requested resource can be reformatted to allow a user to consume complex data on a small display easily and effectively. In some embodiments, this can be done by ensuring that the current data context, previously provided by row/column headers, are always in view in a compact format.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Kinaxis Inc.Inventors: Syed Ali Haider, Christopher David Burt, Matthew S. Chmiel, David Dewar, Ryan Christopher McCluskey

Patent number: 9105134Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes displaying, in two dimensions, a business analytics report containing various data elements, wherein each data element has data associated therewith. The method further enables generation of a three-dimensional representation of the business analytics report by adding a time axis to the data elements. Once the three-dimensional representation is generated, the method displays, on the time axis, update points identifying when data associated with the data elements was updated. In some cases, depending on the length of the time axis, several update points may be displayed for each data element. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also described.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2011Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew S.

Patent number: 8935301Abstract: A method for changing data context in a business analytics report is described herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes providing a business analytics report, wherein the report contains data and current metadata categories describing the data. The method enables selection of a current metadata category directly on the business analytics report. The method displays a metadata hierarchy associated with the current metadata category. This metadata hierarchy may include the current metadata category as well as related metadata categories arranged in a tree-like structure. The method further enables selection of a related metadata category from the metadata hierarchy to apply to the business analytics report. The method automatically updates the business analytics report with the metadata category and populates the report with the associated data. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2011Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Matthew S.

Patent number: 8631335Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented method for plug-in re-use in a web page for simulated simultaneous interactive elements, determines whether an interactive element is a plug-in instance on a web page and responsive to a determination that the interactive element is not a plug-in instance on a web page, requests current state information of the interactive element from the web page. The computer-implemented method loads the current state information into an available plug-in instance on the web page, positions and sizes the available plug-in instance on top of the interactive element on the web page and enables interaction with the interactive element.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2011Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Matthew S.
