  • Methods and systems for visual data manipulation
    Patent number: 11222039
    Abstract: A system for visual modification of data. The system comprising, an interface layer for displaying data and for receiving one or more visual inputs for modifying data; a data layer for storing data; and an analysis engine layer for connecting the interface layer and the data layer, wherein the analysis engine layer is configured to receive the one or more visual inputs from the graphical interface for modifying the graphical representation; modify the underlying data based on the visual inputs; modify a derived data based on the modified underlying data; and transfer the modified derived data to the interface layer for display.

  • Methods and systems for creating waterfall charts
    Patent number: 10586359
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for creating a waterfall chart for data analysis. A waterfall chart enables a user to compare two different versions of a quantity and the underlying details for the differences between the two versions. The method comprises: 1) a data setting step including the setting of: a) an open value, b) a close value, c) a breakdown time and d) a breakdown dimension; 2) a data series definition step including defining: a) a reference data point, b) a comparison data point, c) a reference data breakdown series and d) a comparison data breakdown series; 3) a variance series computation step including: a) aligning the reference data breakdown series and the comparison data breakdown series, b) calculating a variance series, and c) creating a waterfall data series; and 4) a chart rendering step.
