Publication number: 20180081862Abstract: In various embodiments, a visualization engine generates graphs that facilitate sense making operations on data sets. A graph includes nodes that are associated with a data set and edges that represent relationships between the nodes. In operation, the visualization engine computes pairwise similarities between the nodes. Subsequently, the visualization engine computes a layout for the graph based on the pairwise similarities and user-specified constraints. Finally, the visualization engine renders a graph for display based on the layout, the nodes, and the edges. Advantageously, by interactively specifying constraints and then inspecting the topology of the automatically generated graph, the user may efficiently explore salient aspects of the data set.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2017Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Jian ZHAO, Michael GLUECK, Azam KHAN, Simon BRESLAV

Patent number: 9841823Abstract: A computer-implemented method for manipulating graphics objects within a display viewed by an end-user is disclosed. The method involves: receiving motion information generated in response to the end-user moving an object that is external to the display; determining at least one zone of motion in which the end-user moves the object; determining a first motion type associated with the movement of the object within the at least one zone of motion; and based on the at least one zone of motion and the first motion type, determining at least one change to a viewpoint associated with one or more graphics objects displayed to the end-user within the display. The at least one change to the viewpoint causes an alteration in how the one or more graphics objects are displayed to the end-user within the display.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2015Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: Michael Glueck, Azam Khan, Sean Anderson

Patent number: 9841889Abstract: One embodiment of the invention sets forth a data navigation engine that generates user interface navigation elements for navigation large and expanding datasets. The user interface navigation elements may include a pivot control zoom slider for adjusting the data resolution with respect to different zoom pivot locations, an interactive ruler for consistent visual feedback and navigation of intervals of data within the dataset, a context bar for viewing the data proximate to a current view, and a multi-scale slider for repositioning the dataset within the current view. These user interface navigation elements provide the end-user with consistent control and visual feedback while navigating the dataset, independent of the size of the dataset or the portion of the dataset displayed within the current view. Therefore, large and expanding datasets can be navigated more effectively relative to prior art approaches.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: Michael Glueck, Azam Khan, Michael Lee

Publication number: 20170257291Abstract: A network analysis engine is configured to generate a network timeline that represents time-varying connectivity between nodes of the network over a time interval. The network timeline includes a sequence of network snapshots that illustrate links between nodes at specific, sequential sub-intervals of time. The network analysis engine is configured to organize the network timeline in order to reveal certain characteristics of the nodes in the network and the network as a whole. Based on these characteristics, the network can be optimized to improve overall network operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2016Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventors: Jian Zhao, Michael Glueck, Azam Khan
