  • Patent number: 11503097
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a method for rendering interactive visualizations of high volume streaming data. Streaming data that describes a plurality of events is loaded in memory. The streaming data includes geospatial data that specifies a source location and a destination location for each event. Visual metaphors representing the events are rendered using a visualization mathematical model that defines, for each visual metaphor, a spatial position and opacity for each point along the visual metaphor throughout a sliding time window.

  • Patent number: 11221725
    Abstract: Systems and methods of visual mining of user behavior patterns are disclosed. A plurality of clickstreams may be received. Each clickstream may represent a corresponding sequence of user actions. A visual representation of each clickstream may be caused to be displayed on a device. Each visual representation may comprise a distinct graphical element for each user action of the corresponding clickstream, and each visual representation may be configured to indicate a frequency level of the corresponding clickstream. Each distinct graphical element may comprise a geometric shape and a corresponding color that distinctly represents the corresponding user action. Graphical elements of each visual representation may comprise a size that is proportional to the frequency level of the corresponding clickstream. An indication of a selection of one of the visual representations may be received, and additional information about the corresponding clickstream may be caused to be displayed on the device.

  • Publication number: 20140108281
    Abstract: Methods and system for social commerce network analysis are described. In one embodiment, a strongly connected component value, an in-component value, an out-component value, a disconnected component value, a tendril value, and a tube value of a social network for a time period may be accessed. A social strength of the social network for the time period may be calculated by combining the strongly connected component value, the in-component value, the out-component value, the disconnected component value, the tendril value, and the tube value. The social strength of the social network for the time period may be utilized for analysis of the social network. The strongly connected component value may have a greatest weight and the disconnected component value may have the lowest weight in the combining.
