Abstract: A methods, an apparatus, a computer-readable medium, and a system for integrating data from a plurality of devices. The first data is received from a first device and the second data is received from a second device, which is a different type of device than the first device. Type of data is determined and additional data is generated based on the determined type of data received from these different devices. The additional data includes searchable metadata and/or one or more triggers based on a combination of the first and second received data. Accordingly, searchable metadata for recordings and metric values from various devices used in a session are generated. Additionally, annotations may be provided to emphasize the occurrence of triggering events.

Abstract: An interactive tag cloud provides an intuitive interface to large data volumes. Where the data is a large table, an overview afforded by the tag cloud may contain relevant table information ranked by priority and volume, represented in different categories. The tag cloud may be used to filter that big data in an efficient manner. This allows an ordinary (i.e., non-developer) user of the database to quickly assess high level contours of the data volumes, and also to filter that data in order to focus on specific tasks. The interactive tag cloud visualization may indicate data priority according to frequency of incidence of a dimension in database records, or according to other criteria such as importance derived from date information. The tag cloud affords visibility to aggregated big data content and also of filtered data, prior to the user having to immediately drill down in order to access details thereof.

Abstract: A pattern of visual interactivity may be automatically proposed for processing a data set that exhibits dimensions of variability.

In some embodiments, a visual display component includes a number of visual objects and/or visually interactive components for use within a graphical user interface. A visual display component may include one or more analytic patterns having at least one of an equation, rule, constraint, expression or combination thereof that represents the analytic pattern. Alternatively, a visual display component may involve a visual display representation of data through visual characteristics of a graphical object.

Abstract: A scheduling application prints a portable pocket sized hardcopy of information items such as scheduled items and task lists, and prints the information onto the pocket sized hardcopy in a consistent manner on each visible side of the hardcopy by rotating and inverting the printed material in anticipation of subsequent folding. The consistent manner encompasses inverting and arranging portions of the hardcopy along fold lines to enable folding that results in an upright orientation to the displayed text and figures. Conventional scheduling mechanisms are typically unwieldy to quickly initiate and enter a single item or entry. Electronic mediums need to be powered on, a keystroke, stylus, or pointing device sequence applied to access the corresponding scheduling or notepad application, and the information entered. Conventional paper mediums tend to be bulky and thus typically in a briefcase or purse, and often have binders or covers as well as page tabbing systems that need to be navigated.

The intersection of each column and row is a cell. In one approach, a tree of nodes is rendered within at least one cell of the matrix table. In another approach, a tree table is rendered within at least one cell of the matrix table. The tree table comprises a tree of nodes, where each node of the tree of nodes comprises a row of data. A tree of nodes in a cell of the matrix table may be expanded or collapsed upon request.

Abstract: Free form reports may be generated within a data array system such as a spreadsheet computer application. A user may select dimension members of a data source, such as an online analytical processing (OLAP) data cube. The user may position the dimension members as headers on the data array where multiple dimensions may be represented in one or both axes. Member formulas are generated that are representative of the headers and include identifiers that point to the dimension member location of the data source. Value formulas are generated within the report grid defined by the location of the headers where the value formulas are representative of the actual data values of the report and include identifiers that point to the data value locations of the dimension member locations within the data source.

Abstract: Columns and/or rows of a report can be declaratively defined as either dynamic or static. The declarative definition can be represented by any marking. If a column or row is declaratively designated as dynamic, it can be expanded into a plurality of columns or rows. If a column or row is designated as static, it remains as a single column or row to represent only the specified column or row data. Subgroups of columns and rows can also be declaratively defined as dynamic or static. A static column or row may contain no sub-columns/rows, or it may contain a plurality of static columns/rows, a plurality of dynamic columns/rows, or any combination of both. Similarly, a dynamic column or row may also contain the above combinations.

Abstract: In a storage area network (SAN) management application, large data sets tend to produce unwieldy results upon display attempts. A mechanism for gathering and organizing a large data set into an ordered set of output display entries which does not require main memory storage for the entire large data set, generates a displayable portion without excessive memory consumption. Configurations employ a multiple pass gathering and organization operation. An output criteria specifies a key field and identifies a range of entries by specifying a particular screen for display from among the full range of screens. A parser retrieves and identifies the entries, during a first pass, using only the key field and an index for each of the entries in the large data set, to avoid loading all fields of each entry in entirety. A second pass fetches entries only for the identified entries corresponding to the output criteria.
