The LEVEL of TECHNOLOGY

Architecture for interactive data visualization is a process that enables interactive visualization of the data in a way that can maximize the sharing of programs on many different platforms rendering (image acquisition model using a computer program). In some situations, the signs of visualizing the data must be re-implemented completely within different platforms rendering because of the significant differences among platforms rendering. Interactive data visualization can allow users to manipulate parts of the visualization, such as dispersion, in order to analyze the data. For example, the dispersion can contain thousands of data points, which can complicate the analysis of trends or structures. Dragging the selection indicator around a set of data points on a scatter chart can zoom in on the image data points, thus showing more details. The traditional strategy is to completely re-implement the characteristic scale for each of the multiple platforms rendering, such as GDI/GDI+, Silverlight, WPF, and C# winforms. This often causes problems because the conventional strategy may lead to a large number of retries and the probability of failure is compatibility, errors and inconsistencies in the view. The motivation for the development of a shared architecture for interactive data visualization is a growing user demand for consistent interactivity for the abundance of rendering techniques and applications that use them.

The IMPLEMENTATION of the INVENTION

The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings, where possible, the same reference position used on the drawings and in the following description to indicate the same or similar elements. Although can be described variants of implementation, however, possible changes, adaptations and other implementation. For example, substitutions, additions or changes can be made with items illustrated in the drawings, and the methods described in the materials of the present application can be modified by substituting, reordering, or adding stages to the disclosed methods. Accordingly, the following detailed description does not limit the invention. On the contrary, the proper scope of the invention defined by the attached claims.

May be given the architecture of interactive data visualization. Compatible with variants of implementation of the present invention, the platform 105 data visualization Windows® platform 150 data visualization OS X® can each contain joint core 100 that contains software libraries and/or tools to provide interactive visualizations. Joint core 100 may be implemented, for example, in C++ or C# and may not be platform-dependent. Joint core 100 can soda is to press the utility of visualization to provide structures, forms and/or geometry, linear services, three-dimensional rendering of the forming frame animations and/or interactive active sites, application programming interfaces (APIs).

The platform 100 data visualization can represent many well-known signs of interactivity collected from existing customer data visualization. For example, the joint core 100 may contain a utility for displaying at least one pie charts, histograms, scatterplots, bar charts, line graph, the combined histogram, doughnut charts, radar charts, surface charts, bubble charts and stock chart. Each chart type can contain at least one interactive feature, such as an indication of changes data, the filtering characteristic data and the characteristic visual settings. Each chart type can contain interactive features which are characteristic for this type and/or interactive features common to many types. For example, a pie chart may contain a characteristic chart type characteristic visual settings, allowing the user to select (click) and select the wedge of the pie and increase the wedge and to display additional information about the basic data provided by the wedge. Pie dia is the program can optionally contain a sign, common to many types, such as allowing the user to drag the display of the legend in a different location. Signs of change data may include receiving items change master data visualization, such as changing the value of a point on the graph and update the visualization, respectively. Signs filtering of the data may include the capability to select a subset of data points, as for example, by searching, zooming, panning, or select another subset. Signs visual settings may include receiving changes to the visual appearance of the visualization, such as changing the color, width and/or line type, and/or icons view point. Other signs of interactivity can include moving axis of the graph and/or a coordinate axis, the width of the view column and/or line, iterate multiple data points, providing additional information about the unit and/or the point of visualization, prediction of at least one data change effect, copy the visualization in full or in part, sorting, reordering of data points and/or typed legend, resizing of data points and/or structural elements of the visualization, selection, rotation, rotation and display splawa the soup tips. Compatible with variants of the invention, the user selection of the interactive characteristic can be achieved through any input received from the user input device associated with the displayed interactive feature, such as the movement of the pointer over the area of visualization, keyboard and/or moving and/or clicking the mouse.

The platform 105 data visualization Windows® platform 150 data visualization OS X® may contain a joint application programming interfaces (APIs), such as C++ API 110 and API 115. The platform 105 data visualization may contain utilities that are specific to the Windows®platform, such as library 120 I/o file, Windows®, and library 125 user interface (UI) of Windows®. Compatible with variants of the invention, the library 120 I/o file and library 125 UI can be implemented as dynamic link libraries (DLLs). The platform 150 data visualization can include utilities, platform-specific OS X®, such as library 155 input/output file OS X®, and library 160 user interface (UI) OS X®.

Joint core 100 can show the interaction of each type of chart objects active sites, which can identify the chart area, for which the interactive sign may be available. For each plat shall ormy rendering the integration object can contain code integration to provide a General overview of the interface, which can be used by platform data visualization for this platform rendering. For example, the platform 105 data visualization Windows® may contain the object 130 integration Win32, and the platform 150 OS X® data visualization can contain object 165 integration of OS X®. The integration object for each platform data visualization may contain software library and to provide feedback mouse and checking utility is pressed, the utility loop drop, which can capture the "mouse down", "mouse move" and "mouse up" (such as clicking, dragging and releasing), a utility for drawing the drag image, which can be provided by a shared core 100 while dragging, and a tool to commit the changelog. The list of changes can contain a list of user inputs such as mouse movements and/or keystrokes recorded during the cycle and drop. The list of changes can describe the data changes (for example, the value changes, the value of reordering, filter by region), as well as shape changes (movement, rotation, size).

Each integration object may be responsible for the conversion characteristic data platform user input in General ver the s to make the joint core 100. The integration object may not need any typical of chart information, to provide this utility, allowing a single object to display all of the interactive characteristics associated with each type of chart, provided by shared core 100.

Different types of charts can be displayed by the platform data visualization (DVP) and can each have a characteristic area of interactivity that are unique to these types of charts. To show these interactive areas, at the top of the column, for example, DVP can show the active site. Each chart type can encode different active areas, typical for this type of chart, and using this to show interactivity. The client can encode the most common interface that can allow the client to benefit from interactive signs, showing the active sites on the basis of interaction with the mouse and step simple fixation. Public interface can contain three parts: logic verification mouse, cycle drag-and-drop the commit phase. If these parts are present, the client can connect to all characteristic charts active points, which can detect DVP.

Hit-testing may include the movement of an input device of the user, and request what customer information from DVP about where is the cursor of the user input. DVP may respond to this information, for example, data point, or form or anything. DVP may also, for example, to inform the client that the active site is located under the cursor. The client can then obtain a reference to the active site and go to the next drop. As the cursor of the user input, the client moves, as for example, when the user clicks on the mouse and move the cursor around the screen, the client can update the active site of its location. The active area may then provide the moved image to get feedback from the user. For example, the active site can provide the framework and/or complete the form by filling or gray. When the user releases the mouse, the object of the active site can commit changes and modifications may be encoded for DVP. Compatible with variants of the invention, the changes can be stored in the object list of changes that the user and/or client can apply fully and/or partially. When a change is committed, DVP can reflect all these changes in data visualization.

Figure 2 shows a diagram of the operating environment 200. Operating environment 200 may include a server 210 databases, client 220 Windows®client 230 Macintosh® and mo is strong client 240. The server 210 databases, client 220 Windows®client 230 Macintosh® and mobile client 240 may each contain computing device 700 described in more detail below relative to 7, and can be connected via a network 250, such as the Internet or a corporate intranet. The client 220 Windows®client 230 Macintosh® and mobile client 240 can each contain a visualization platform and platform data visualization. For example, the client 220 Windows® may contain platform 105 data visualization Windows®client 230 Macintosh® may contain platform 150 data visualization OS X®. Platform data visualization client 220 Windows®client 230 Macintosh® and mobile client 240 may each contain joint core 100. Each client can provide different rendering platform, which is used to display the visualization.

Interactivity can be achieved mainly through clicking and/or dragging the input device 712, such as a mouse, touchpad, display, multi touch, touch screen and/or stylus. May also be provided interactivity, based on the keyboard. Compatible with variants of the invention, each client can support more devices of the user interface and/or signs. For example, the client 230 Macintosh® can provide support for the device interface is user Apple Remote®, which may not be supported by the client 220 Windows®.

Figure 3 presents a chart illustrating the interactive sign. For example, a line graph 300 can contain multiple data sets 305, shown on the chart. Line graph 300 may further comprise an axis 310 x axis 315 and y symbol 320. Line graph 300 may be formed by the platform 105 data visualization Windows® client 220 Windows® according to the type of chart that is associated with the joint core 100 and the data stored on the server 210 databases. Compatible with variants of the invention, the data described by the linear graph 300 may be stored locally on the client 220 Windows® and/or other computing device. The platform 105 data visualization Windows® can show active areas of the visualization platform client 220 Windows®. For example, the active areas can be shown, making it possible interactivity with the symbol 320 and/or the axis 310 x, such as changing the name of one of the multiple sets of data 305.

Interactive location in the visualization can be shown via a built-in set of objects 'active sites'. Each type of structure visualization can show active areas, characteristic patterns. For example, a bar chart can show the active site for PE is masciana the top of the column vertically. A pie chart can show the active area for each side of the sector, which can be dragged in the direction of clockwise or counterclockwise. Moving and rotating, forms such as symbols and names may appear in the active sites of the common forms.

The active areas may seem to the client via the hit-testing. The client can use the integration object to determine which objects are under the cursor 325 mouse. Joint core 100 may return a reference to the form of depression and/or a reference to the newly created active site. Joint core 100 may delegate the detection of the active site the active class structure for the chart, which can analyze what geometric curves were pressed. If you have not pressed the region corresponding to the interactive sign joint core 100 may not return the reference of the active site. If the active leg was pressed, the joint core 100 may create a new object of the active site with the counted link, which can record the initial position of the hit test. The visualization platform can take a description of what changes will occur, and can display the appropriate cursor and/or tooltips and/or ignore the active section.

Once the client has found the supports, the active site is dragged with the mouse, he can switch to the standard cycle drop. For example, the client 220 Windows® can enter the drag linking and embedding of objects (OLE) and/or cycle simple messages. Inside the loop, every mouse movement, for example, a method that reports the position to which you drag the cursor 325 mouse. The client may request the active site for an updated list of changes and/or the drag image, such as image 330 drag. The type of change associated with the active area may vary based on the location of the mouse. For example, dragging sector of the pie chart can simply move the form, whereas dragging sector to another sector may reorder the data.

Image 330 drag returned through the active area can be obtained by the client in the form of geometric iterator, which can be the same object used to paint a static picture of the chart. Thus, as soon as the client can draw a diagram, it should be able to draw the drag image by running the same code. Inside the joint core 100, the drag image can be formed by creating a temporary form, copied from the touch of geometry and modified, to reflect the current list of changes.

When an event occurs "mouse up", a drag operation could be completed, and changes may need fixing. At this point, the client may request from the active site his list of changes in recent times and can fix the list of changes in the joint core 100, to apply the changes inside. Compatible with variants of the invention, the client may bypass the list of changes and to selectively apply the changes in the desired manner. For example, client charts Office® may send data changes back to the Excel®spreadsheet, making possible the return of the changes in the joint core 100 later.

Another show interactivity in a line graph 300 may include, for example, the characteristic visual settings, such as the operation of the zoom. The object 130 integration Win32 can't take the event "mouse down" (e.g., mouse click) from the user input device and to start tracking the additional input and add each entry to the list of changes before the event received "mouse up" (e.g., the mouse button is released). For example, the user may place the cursor 325 in one position and drag the mouse to select the area line graph 300. Joint core 300 can provide independent square is thorny graphical representation of the user, to specify the selected area, such as the image 330 drag. As soon as the event "mouse up" is received, the object 130 integration Win32 can capture the list of changes in the joint core 100, which in turn can generate an updated visualization 350, which may display increased visualization of the selected area line graph 300.

Active areas shown by the joint core 100 may present the full set of known interactively collected from existing customer data visualization. You may have active areas that joint core 100 is not showing as desirable to the client, or may be scenarios where a built-in active site will be insufficient. Compatible with variants of the invention, the joint core 100 may display additional APIs to allow client to expand as needed. For example, the joint core 100 may display API for clients to extract characteristic patterns information hit-testing to provide iteration geometry of the data points and/or to provide a prediction of change "what if".

Customers may be desirable to understand, what are the interesting parts of the structure are under the mouse cursor. For example, office applications, it may be desirable to comment on is agrama with connecting arrows drawn from forms. To do this, the joint core 100 may need to provide subelement information hit-testing, such as "on point #3 data series #1" or "on the border of the growth data point or over time stamped axis values with the value 10".

Data points can be visualized as a path within the form of a number. Customers may be desirable to select an individual data point (for example, when you mouse over it) and, thus, may need the ability to iterate geometry, characteristic for a single data point, not a whole number.

Customers may want the entire chart was returned with the change, predictable applied in the scenario "what-if". For example, reordering of data points, the customer may wish to show the data point is inserted properly in its new location than to show halo 'token insertion'. To do this, the client can create and send a list of changes to the joint core 100, which may then create a copied when writing a copy of the chart, apply the list of changes and return geometric iterator, aimed at a new chart, which should draw the client.

Changes made on the joint core 100 through the access API or user interaction (for example, active areas), should have the opportunity for the guard cancel. To achieve this, the transaction object may exist in the joint core 100 to allow the client to share and write changes to the team level. For example, the transaction object can display method GetUndoRecord(), which returns an object UndoRecord, to store the information of undo/redo. The object UndoRecord can have methods Undo() and Redo(), which must be run from the command undo/redo client. For custom changes made through the active areas, the list object changes, return to the active site, can also display the transaction object to track the state of the undo/redo.

Figure 4 shows the block diagram of the sequence of operations, formulating the General steps included in the method 400, compatible with the embodiment of the invention to provide architecture interactive visualization. The method 400 may be implemented using a computing device 700, as described in more detail below relative to 7. Ways to implement the steps of method 400 will be described in more detail below. Method 400 may begin at starting block 410 and continue to stage 420 where computing device 700 may create a visualization of the data. For example, computing device 700 may include a client 220 Windows® and can use the platform 105 data visualization Windows®, to create a visualization, such as a pie chart, histogram, scatter plot, bar chart, line chart, area chart, ring chart, radar chart surface chart, bubble chart and stock chart.

From step 420, the method 400 may proceed to stage 430 where computing device 700 may display at least one interactive feature for data visualization. For example, computing device 700 may display active area associated with the interactive feature, such as an indication of changes data, the filtering characteristic data and/or characteristic visual settings.

From step 430, the method 400 may proceed to stage 440 where computing device 700 may provide an integration object associated with at least one of the multiple platforms rendering. For example, computing device 700 may use the rendering platform, such as GDI, GDI+, Silverlight, WPF, C#, winforms, and/or QT to render a graphical display and/or data visualization.

From step 440, the method 400 may proceed to step 450, where the computing device 700 may receive a selection of at least one location on a data visualization from the user input device. For example, the user can the select a point on the imaging data, using a mouse, stylus, keyboard and/or touch screen.

From step 450, the method 400 may proceed to step 460, where the computing device 700 may determine whether the selected at least one location with the active leg. For example, computing device 700 may determine whether the selected at least one location point data, a structural element data visualization, such as centerline, the menu user interface, the command element of the user interface and/or the rendering control data.

If at step 460 computing device 700 determines that the selected at least one location associated with the active area, the method 400 may proceed to step 470, where the computing device 700 may convert the selection of at least one interactive sign through the integration object in a common format that is associated with the platform data visualization. Convert selection through the integration object in the General format is described in more detail below relative to Fig. 5. If at step 460 computing device 700 determines that the selected at least one location is not associated with the active area, the method 400 may return to step 450, where the computing device 700 may be waiting to receive you the PRS user input.

From step 470, the method 400 may proceed to step 480, where the computing device 700 may update the visualization data according to the selected interactive feature. As soon as computing device 700 updates the visualization of the data at step 480, the method 400 may end at step 490.

Figure 5 shows the block diagram of the operational sequence of the subroutine used in the method according to figure 4 for converting the selected item in a common format. Subroutine 470 may be at stage 510, where the computing device 700 can capture at least one characteristic of choice. For example, computing device 700 can capture feature selection, such as a mouse click, a drag operation, the unclamping operation, the movement of the mouse, the scroll operation. Compatible with variants of the invention, the captured at least one characteristic can be encoded in a format associated with the platforms rendering.

From step 510, the routine 470 may proceed to step 520, where the computing device 700 may display visual feedback associated with the at least one characteristic. For example, computing device 700 may display visual feedback, such as changing the cursor, draw a line, draw shapes, edit the imposition of the name, the change in the status display and/or display the tooltip.

From step 520, the routine 470 may proceed to step 530, where the computing device 700 may convert the captured response of the choice of encoding format associated with the platforms rendering, in General, the encoding format associated with the platform data visualization. For example, the platform data visualization can use the linked object integration to convert the feature selection.

From step 530, the routine 470 may proceed to step 540, where the computing device 700 may generate the list of changes according to the converted at least one characteristic of choice. For example, computing device 700 may generate a list of changes in response to receiving the selection characteristics of the mouse down. Once the list was created changes, computing device 700 may add additional features selection to the list of changes as they are received.

From step 540, the routine 470 may proceed to step 550, where the computing device 700 may determine, complete the user selection. For example, computing device 700 may determine that the user has completed the cycle by dragging the mouse button is released.

If the stage is 550 computing device 700 determines user selection is complete, the subroutine 470 may proceed to step 560, where the computing device 700 can provide a list of changes to be processed. For example, computing device 700 may provide a list of changes to the platform data visualization. If at step 550 the computing device 700 determines that a user selection has not been completed, the subroutine 470 may return to step 510, where the computing device 700 can expect to receive and capture another user's choice. As soon as computing device 700 will handle the list of amendments at stage 560, the routine 470 may fail and proceed to step 480 of the method 400.

An implementation option that is compatible with the invention may include a system for providing interactive data visualization. The system may include a storage device and a processing unit connected to the storage device. The processing unit may be able to create a visualization of the data according to the joint structure, show at least one interactive feature for data visualization, to provide the integration object associated with at least one of the multiple platforms visualization, to select at least one interactive feature, convert the selection at m is d one interactive sign through the integration object in a common format, associated with the joint structure, and modify the visualization data according to the selected interactive feature. The integration object may be provided for each of the multiple platforms rendering. The joint structure may be independent of platforms, rendering, and may include, for example, a pie chart, bar chart, scatter chart, column chart, line graph, a combined bar chart, doughnut chart, radar chart surface chart, bubble chart, and/or a stock chart. Interactive sign may contain, for example, the characteristic data changes, the characteristic of the filtering of the data and/or characteristic visual settings. Selecting at least one interactive characteristic may include receiving an input selection from at least one of a mouse, pen, keyboard and/or touch screen.

The processing unit may be further capable of receiving the location pointer of the user input device and to extract information on the location in which the information includes at least one of the following: a description of possible changes in the visualization data associated with the location and description of at least one data point at the location. Information about the received location is displayed in rising is the fact that the tooltip.

The processing unit may further display at least one object of the active site, characteristic patterns, such as interactive symptom control wedge in the pie chart. The object of the active site can be associated with at least one structural element of data visualization, such as the axial line of the graph.

Another option is the implementation that is compatible with the invention may include a system for providing an extensible interactive data visualization. The system may include a storage device and a processing unit connected to the storage device. The processing unit may generate the rendering data according to a set of data to show at least one active area, to accept the at least one active area, create a list of changes associated with selection of at least one active area, store multiple commands user input in the list of changes to process a list of changes and update the visualization of the data processed according to the changelog. For example, a mobile client 240 can open a graph file. Platform data visualization (DVP) can create a visualization of the data according to the data in the graph file and display at least one region of the active site dia the scheme, associated with the interactive sign. The user can select show active plot device, user input, and the mobile client 240 may receive feedback from the DVP to provide to the user, such as changing the appearance of the cursor of the user input device and/or displaying the tooltip. Feedback can be associated with at least one interactive feature associated with the active site, such as changing the cursor to a hand when choosing edge of the column to indicate that the edge of the column can be moved to expand or narrow the column.

As the user controls the visualization of the data, each manipulation of the user input may be added to the list of changes as a team. When the user has completed the imaging control data that may be specified by the event "mouse up", the list of changes can be processed by the mobile client 240. For example, a mobile client 240 can record the list of changes in DVP; DVP can then iterate through each command to be added to the list of changes, and update the visualization of the data, respectively. Compatible with variants of the invention, the mobile device may allow the user to view the commands in the list of changes and applies the th them completely and/or partially as for example, by selecting at least one of the commands in the list of changes to apply data visualization.

Another variant implementation, compatible with the invention may include a system for providing interactive data visualization. The system may include a storage device and a processing unit connected to the storage device. The processing unit may create a data visualization according to the structure associated with the platform data visualization, display at least one interactive feature for data visualization, to provide the integration object associated with at least one of the multiple platforms rendering, and the rendering platform contains, for example, GDI, GDI+, Silverlight, WPF, C#, winforms, to accept the at least one location on a data visualization from the user input device and to determine whether the selected at least one location with the active leg. The user input device may include a mouse, pen, keyboard and/or touch screen. Determining whether the selected at least one location with an active area may include determining whether the selected at least one location point data, structural imaging element on which the R, the menu user interface, the command element of the user interface and/or the rendering control data.

In response to determining that the selected at least one location associated with the active area, the processing unit may further convert the selection of at least one interactive sign through the integration object in a common format associated platform data visualization. To convert the selection, the processing unit may additionally capture at least one characteristic of the selection, to display at least one visual feedback associated with the at least one characteristic, to convert at least one characteristic of the choice of encoding format associated with at least one of the multiple platforms rendering in General the encoding format associated with the platform data visualization, to create the list of changes according to the converted at least one characteristic of choice and provide a list of changes to the platform data visualization.
