Patent number: 8947434Abstract: A machine-implemented process for determining, scaling, providing, and presenting comparative information in an accurate, scaled, useful, easily recognized, and understandable manner, including: reading the data sets; setting first and second boundaries of a first reference axis using first coordinates of data points of one data set having maximum and minimum values, respectively; setting first and second boundaries of each of the other reference axes by adjusting either the first coordinate of one data point of the selected data set having a maximum value or the first coordinate of one data point of the selected data set having a minimum value, wherein every E-value calculated based on the thus-obtained final first and second boundaries of the each of the other reference axes is substantially equal to an E-value of the first data set; and plotting the data points of the data sets. An electronic device capable of presenting a multiple-axis graph is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2010Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Chii Ying Co.

Publication number: 20150015585Abstract: A technique is provided for a graphical user interface on a computer. The technique includes receiving messages individually corresponding to resources being monitored, displaying rows in a table, and generating bar graphs of the messages respectively corresponding to the resources in the rows. Each of the bar graphs displays a color coded scheme to visually distinguish severity of the messages in each of the rows for the resources. The bar graphs display the severity of the messages for one resource per the given row without requiring user intervention to view severities of the messages displayed by the color coded scheme, without requiring user intervention to view a total number of messages for the given row, while maintaining a same row height regardless of the total number of messages for the given row, and without changing a table size including a table height and a table width of the table.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2014Publication date: January 15, 2015Inventors: Rolando Perez, Christopher A. Robbins

Patent number: 8917272Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for facilitating visualization and analysis of medical data. A method may include accessing a first set of data points. The method may further include plotting a plurality of data points from the first set of data points on a first graph. The method may additionally include causing the first graph to be displayed. The method may also include accessing a second set of data points. The method may further include plotting a plurality of data points from the second set of data points on a second graph. The method may also include causing the second graph to be displayed overlaying the first graph. At least a portion of the second graph may be semi-transparent such that at least a portion of the first graph is viewable concurrently with the second graph. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: McKesson Financial HoldingsInventors: Robyn Regan, Matthew Walton

Patent number: 8914740Abstract: A user interface is provided for allowing a user to interact with a graphical display, so as to facilitate comparative viewing of components of the display. A bar graph or other quantitative display is provided, wherein each bar is divided into a plurality of segments. Responsive to user input, segments of a given kind, in different bars, are realigned with one another along a common baseline, so that their sizes can be more easily compared with one another. In at least one embodiment, the realignment is transitory, and the original graph is restored upon further user input and/or after some predetermined time period.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Domo, Inc.Inventors: Derek Joos, Mark Schultz, Matt McMurry, Chris Willis

Patent number: 8878873Abstract: Disclosed is a computer implemented method, computer program product, and apparatus to decorate visible attributes of a rendered avatar. A server may collect a first user profile of a first avatar, the first user profile having at least one interest of a user. Next, the server may receive a location of the first avatar, wherein the location is associated with a view to at least a second avatar. The server can identify the second avatar among a group of avatars visible with respect to the first avatar. Further, the server may read a target profile of the second avatar then determine whether the second user profile satisfies a criterion based on the first user profile and the target profile. In addition, the server may render a modified rendered avatar to a client, responsive to the determination that the target profile satisfies the criterion.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dwip N.
