Patent number: 11138216Abstract: A unified visualization interface is disclosed. One example is a system including an association module, a multicasting module, a data sharing module, and a unified visualization interface. The association module associates an identified event in a first visualization system with a visualization function. The multicasting module stores event data related to the identified event and the associated visualization function in a shared data source, and multicasts the identified event to a second visualization system.

Patent number: 10628412Abstract: Visualization of a cohort for high-dimensional categorical data is disclosed. One example is a system including a display module to identify real-time selection of a query data element in an interactive visual representation of high-dimensional categorical data elements comprising a plurality of categorical components. A matrix generator generates a binary distance matrix with columns representing categorical components, and entries in a row indicative of a degree of similarity of respective categorical components of the selected query data element to a data element represented by the row, and determines a category weighting matrix by associating a weight with entries in each column of the binary distance matrix. An evaluator evaluates a weighted similarity score for a data element represented by a row of the category weighting matrix based on entries of the row. A selector iteratively and interactively selects, based on weighted similarity scores, a cohort of categorical data elements.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ming C.

Patent number: 10614094Abstract: A technique for visualizing topics includes depicting topic bubbles including pixels. In one example, selected topics are identified from records based on scoring candidate terms in the records according to a user-specified metric and a metric selected from among frequencies of occurrence of records pertaining to the respective candidate terms, and negativity of sentiment expressed with respect to the candidate terms in the records. A visualization is generated including bubbles representing topics, the bubbles including pixels representing corresponding records. A bubble has a shape dependent upon a number of records and a time interval represented by the bubble. Visual indicators are assigned to the pixels in a given bubble according to values of an attribute expressed in the corresponding records for the topic represented by the given bubble, resulting in the analysis of the selected topics being less time consuming and labor intensive.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: MICRO FOCUS LLCInventors: Ming C.

Patent number: 10509800Abstract: Visually interactive identification of a cohort of similar data objects is disclosed. One example is a system including a data processor to access a plurality of data objects, each data object comprising a plurality of numerical components, where each component represents a data feature of a plurality of data features, and to identify, for each data feature, a feature distribution of the numerical components. A selector selects a sub-plurality of the data features of a query object, where a given data feature is selected if the component representing the given data feature is a peak for the feature distribution. An evaluator determines a similarity measure based on the sub-plurality of the data features. An interaction processor iteratively processes selection of a sub-plurality of the data features based on domain knowledge, and identifies, based on the similarity measures, a cohort of data objects similar to the query object.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2015Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ming C Hao, Wei-Nchih Lee, Nelson L Chang, Michael Hund, Daniel Keim

Patent number: 10198833Abstract: According to an example, in a method for displaying visual analytics of entity data, geographic locations of entities may be plotted as first pixel cells on a first region and as second pixel cells on a second region of a geographic map. A determination may be made that the first pixel cells have a higher degree of overlap with each other in the first region compared to the second pixel cells in the second region. The geographic map may be distorted to enlarge the first region and the first pixel cells may be arranged in the first region in a manner that prevents the first pixel cells from overlapping each other. A color value for each of the pixel cells may be determined from a multi-paired color map that represents two variables corresponding to the entities by color and the pixel cells may be caused to be displayed on the distorted geographic map according to the determined respective color values.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: ENTIT SOFTWARE LLCInventors: Ming C Hao, Michael Hund, Wei-Nchih Lee, Halldor Janetzko, Nelson L.

Publication number: 20180005419Abstract: Visually interactive and iterative analysis of data patterns by a user is disclosed. One example is a system including a display module and an interaction processor. The display module displays, via an interactive graphical user interface, a visual representation of a plurality of data elements and respective data relations between the data elements, and wherein each data element is represented by pixel attributes of a pixel. The interaction processor iteratively and interactively processes analysis by a user based on identifying selection, by the user, of an arbitrarily shaped region of the visual representation, clipping the selected region by zooming in to the selected region, identifying, in the clipped region, selection of data elements of interest to the user, and prompting the display module to automatically blur visual representations of data elements different from the data elements of interest by modifying the pixel attributes of respective pixels.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2015Publication date: January 4, 2018Inventors: MING C HAO, MICHAEL HUND, NELSON L CHANG, HALLDOR JANETZKO, SABASTIAN MITTELSTAEDT, KEVIN SMATHERS, DANIEL KEIM, DORON SHAKED, JISHANG WEI
