Typed data graph visualization system in three dimensions

a typed data and graph visualization technology, applied in the field of typed data graph visualization system in three dimensions, can solve the problems of increasing the volume and complexity of data graphs produced world-wide, increasing the difficulty of clearly tracking each node and each relation in two dimensions, and the computer display runs out of space, so as to improve the comprehension of complex data graphs

Benefits of technology

"This patent is about a computer system that can create a 3D view of a data graph for a user. The system improves understanding of complex data graphs, allows for large graphs to be displayed in a compact way, and can visualize data graphs that don't have any graphical information. The system uses 3D models that are arranged based on the local relationships in the data graph. The system can also create a visualization graph by combining a user-specified data graph with 3D models and arrangements. The technical effects of this patent include improved data visualization, compact display of large data graphs, and the ability to visualize data graphs without graphical information."

Problems solved by technology

The volume and complexity of data graphs produced world-wide has rapidly increased over the past twenty years.
As the number of relations grows into the hundreds or thousands, and as the number of data nodes grows into the hundreds or thousands, it becomes increasingly difficult to clearly track each node and each relation in two dimensions.
But at a certain point computer displays run out of space.

Embodiment Construction

[0073]Although various embodiments of the invention may have been motivated by various deficiencies with the prior art, which may be discussed or alluded to in one or more places in the specification, the embodiments of the invention do not necessarily address any of these deficiencies. In other words, different embodiments of the invention may address different deficiencies that may be discussed in the specification. Some embodiments may only partially address some deficiencies or just one deficiency that may be discussed in the specification, and some embodiments may not address any of these deficiencies. Terms “3D” and “three-dimensional” are synonyms used interchangeably within the written specification and drawings. Drawings use the term “3D” to conserve space while the written specification uses the term “three-dimensional” for clarity and explicitness.

[0074]The embodiments described herein offer methods enabling a three-dimensional visualization from a data graph which may be...

Abstract

A visualization system presents inter-connected three-dimensional models representing components of a data graph to a user on a display. A visualization graph is created from the association of a user-specified data graph, which may not include graphical information, to three-dimensional models through a type graph. Arrangement of three-dimensional models into discrete units is determined from local relations between components of the data graph.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 686,331, filed Jan. 12, 2010, by Rana Ian, entitled, “TYPED DATA GRAPH VISUALIZATION SYSTEM IN THREE DIMENSIONS,” which is incorporated herein by reference, in its entirety.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicableREFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING[0003]Not applicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]This application pertains to visualizing data on a computer wherein an artificial workspace is created and presented to a user in such a way that it appears as a volumetric spatial region on a computer display. The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, points mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized ...
