  • Patent number: 9244998
    Abstract: Analytic workflows for performing data analysis and other related operations are stored in an analytic workflow library and provided to a user upon selection of data from a data store. A workflow manager may rank the workflows based on a number of ranking algorithms prior to presentation. User selected workflows are executed in conjunction with relevant external applications and the analysis result provided to the user through the user's client application used to select the data. Workflows and associated interfaces may be received from a variety of sources and integrated into the workflow framework for enhancing data analysis.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100262678
    Abstract: Architecture for providing easy and convenient configuration of a single-purpose application (SPA). A web-based SPA is retained on a client device for viewing specific information provided from a web server. A web-based identification component obtains an identity associated with the client device or device user. A website user interface enables the user to enter configuration information of the SPA. Subsequently, the configured SPA receives the requested information from the web server based on the identity. A storage component stores the configuration information on a remote web server and/or the client device for backup purposes. A communications component refreshes the requested information to provide updated information to the user via the SPA.
