Patent number: 11704330Abstract: An electronic device displays a chart, which includes a first set of visual marks that represent values derived from a set of data. The device concurrently displays a chart-calculations-options area. The chart-calculations-options area displays a first plurality of options for type of calculation. The device detects user selection of (i) a first option, from the first plurality of options, for type of calculation and (ii) a second option corresponding to a parameter for the selected first option. In response to detecting the user selection, the device visually distinguishes visual marks in a second set of visual marks in the chart. The second set of visual marks is distinct from the first set of visual marks and corresponds to the first option for type of calculation and the second option corresponding to the parameter for the selected first option.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Tableau Software, Inc.Inventors: Jun Kim, Christopher Richard Stolte, Jock Douglas Mackinlay, Ross Thomas Bunker, Bora Beran, Justin Talbot

Patent number: 11537490Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing event information. A plurality of events associated with entities may be provided. A plurality of state types may be determined based on the plurality of events such that each state type is associated with a state. State keys associated with each entity may be determined based on events associated with each entity and the state types. A state stream for each entity may be provided based on their state keys such that each state stream may be an ordered sequence of the keys associated with each entity. In response to a query that includes a pattern filter, the pattern filter may be employed to determine a portion of the entities based on the state stream for each entity such that the pattern filter matches the state stream for each of the portion of the entities.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Tableau Software, LLCInventors: Michael John Arvold, Ross Thomas Bunker, Daniel Philip Cory, Vivek Anup Maharajh, Britta Claire Nielsen

Patent number: 11475028Abstract: An electronic device displays a chart, which includes visual marks that represent calculated values derived from a set of data, and panes formed by intersection of rows and columns. A current focus is on a first visual mark at a first position. The device concurrently displays a chart-calculations-options area, which includes display options for the type of calculation and the type of data partitioning. Visual marks in a first set of visual marks are visually distinguished from other visual marks. The first set of visual marks includes the first visual mark, and corresponds to a first selected option for the type of calculation and a first selected option for the type of data partitioning. The device detects an input that selects a second option for the type of data partitioning. In response, the device visually distinguishes visual marks in a second set of visual marks in accordance with the selection.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: TABLEAU SOFTWARE, INC.Inventors: Jun Kim, Christopher Richard Stolte, Jock Douglas Mackinlay, Ross Thomas Bunker, Bora Beran, Justin Talbot

Publication number: 20220300525Abstract: A computer system displays a graphical user interface that includes a data visualization region, a shelf region, and a schema information region. The computer system receives a first user input to place a first dimension data field from the schema information region into the shelf region. In accordance with the first user input, the computer system determines a visualization level of detail that is based on at least the first dimension data field. The computer system receives a second user input to specify a first aggregation. The first aggregation has a custom level of detail that is distinct from the visualization level of detail. The computer system builds a visual specification that includes the visualization and custom levels of detail. The computer system generates a data visualization corresponding to the visual specification and displays the data visualization in the data visualization region.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Inventors: Justin Talbot, Ross Thomas Bunker, Robin Stewart, Bora Beran

Patent number: 11422985Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing data models. A data source that includes records may be provided. Source fields may be determined based on the records and the source fields may be displayed in a source panel. A data model that includes a source data object may be displayed. Relationships between the source fields may be determined based on values in the records. In response to providing a relationship between the source fields, a data object that includes a key field and one or more data fields that correspond to the relationship may be generated. The data model may be modified to include the data object and to remove the source fields that correspond to the data fields.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Tableau Software, LLCInventors: Michael John Arvold, Ross Thomas Bunker, Daniel Philip Cory, Daniel William DeKlotz, Vivek Anup Maharajh, Britta Claire Nielsen, Douglas Alan Thomae

Patent number: 11294924Abstract: A method displays a graphical user interface for a data visualization application. The user interface includes a schema information region that includes fields from a database. A user specifies a first aggregation using the interface. The first aggregation groups by a first set of fields and specifies an aggregated output field. The user also specifies a second aggregation. The second aggregation references the first aggregation and groups by a second set of fields. The set may include the aggregated output field. The second set is different from the first set. The method builds a visual specification based on the first and second aggregations. The method may retrieve tuples of data from the database using database queries generated from the visual specification, where each tuple includes data calculated based on the second aggregation. The method may display a data visualization, including the data calculated based on the second aggregation.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2015Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: TABLEAU SOFTWARE, INC.Inventors: Justin Talbot, Ross Thomas Bunker, Robin Stewart, Bora Beran

Publication number: 20210390564Abstract: In some embodiments, a system may evaluate third-party data for an enterprise (e.g., a potential risk enterprise such as an insurance company), based on information about potential customers received via a first-party data source and additional information about the potential customers from sources other than the enterprise received via a third-party data source. A model factory may provide information about at least one enterprise predictive model, and a third-party data evaluation platform may analyze the additional information to determine an impact on the enterprise predictive model. The third-party data evaluation platform may then output an indication of a result of said analysis to a database of findings (e.g., for use by data scientists).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2020Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Kudakwashe F.

Publication number: 20150292453Abstract: Methods and systems to deliver fuel to an engine at a predetermine fuel delivery pressure, such as about zero or a very low fuel pressure, are provided. In some embodiments, a fuel delivery circuit may include a pressure regulating device configured to open a fuel escape path at a predetermined pressure. By providing the fuel escape path, the fuel delivery circuit can maintain a fuel pressure at an outlet of the pressure regulating device at about the predetermined pressure. The fuel delivery circuit may also include a pressure drop device, such as a fuel filter, that requires and causes a pressure drop when fuel flows through the pressure drop device. In some embodiments, the predetermined pressure of the pressure regulating device is about the same as the pressure drop of the pressure drop device. In some embodiments, the pressure regulating device may be integrated inside the pressure drop device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2013Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: Keith Michael Ricke, Ross Thomas Nelson
