Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device including a display device and one or more input devices. The method includes displaying, on the display device, a first graphing area including a first section presenting a plot of a first set of data points for a first variable and a second section. The method includes detecting, via the one or more input devices, a user input indicative of a path within a second section. The method includes determining, based on the user input indicative of a path within the second section, a second set of data points for the first variable. The method includes determining, based at least on the second set of data points for the first variable, a set of data points for a second variable. The method includes displaying, on the display device, a second graphing area presenting a plot of the set of data points for the second variable.

Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device including a display device and one or more input devices. The method includes displaying, on the display device, a first graphing area section presenting a plot of a first set of data points for a first variable. The method includes detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first user input indicative of a selection of a portion of the first graphing area section. The method includes determining, based on the first user input indicative of a selection of a portion of the first graphing area section, a portion of the first set of data points for the first variable. The method includes detecting, via the one or more input devices, a second user input indicative of a weighting of the portion of the first set of data points for the first variable. The method includes determining, based on the weighting, a second set of data points.

Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device including a display device and one or more input devices. The method includes displaying, on the display device, a first graphing area presenting a plot of a first set of data points for a first variable versus a first set of data points for a second variable. The method includes displaying, on the display device, an indication of a relationship between the first variable and the second variable. The method includes detecting, via the one or more input devices, a user input indicative of change to the relationship between the first variable and the second variable. The method includes determining, based on the changed relationship between the first variable and the second variable, a second set of data points. The method includes displaying, on the display device, a second graphing area presenting a plot of the second set of data points.

Abstract: The present invention can allow a user to locate items in a database based on numeric characteristics of the items using words to describe those characteristics. In one embodiment, the invention includes selecting a numeric attribute of an item in a database of items some of which have values for the selected attribute, linking the numeric attribute to a descriptive word, linking the numeric attribute to a function, executing the function on values of the numeric attributes, and assigning a descriptive word to an item based on the results of the function.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for remotely accessing database management systems (5130) and performing guided iterative queries of knowledge bases (110) over a communication circuit such as the Internet (5124). The system includes a Web browser (5120) having a Java™ runtime environment (4015), and executable content client (5121) that may be downloaded from a remote location (103). A Krakatoa proxy server (5128), socket (5021), and tunnel (5129) establish a mechanism for remote procedure calls through firewalls (5126) via an HTTP server (5127). Guardrail counts (750) are preferably displayed to the remote searcher to facilitate guided iterative queries of the remote knowledge base (110). A configurable graphical action region (700) is preferably provided to the remote searcher via a graphical user interface to provide powerful navigation and linking of diverse useful information which varies based upon contexts selected by the remote searcher.
