  • UPDATING A USER INTERFACE TO A SERVICE
    Publication number: 20150205464
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are described herein to facilitate the enhanced updating of user interfaces to a service. In an implementation, an application renders a user interface to a service and an initial visualization is surfaced in response to the occurrence of an event. After surfacing the initial visualization, the application receives an update from the service that includes a proposed visualization and determines whether or not the proposed visualization accounts for the event. If the proposed visualization accounts for the event, the proposed visualization is surfaced in place of the initial visualization. But if the proposed visualization does not account for the event, the initial visualization may be persisted until another visualization is identified that accounts for the event.
