Solution Overview

Problem

Existing visualization charts are limited in presenting specific data, making it difficult to accurately identify and troubleshoot anomalies, which delays maintenance and reduces efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An auxiliary data presentation method that includes determining and presenting data points in an interactive interface, with a floating data point and marked data points, using dual-channel presentation areas to provide comprehensive data information, and utilizing a point position identifier for linked presentation and comparative analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If data is presented only in visualization chart form, then the chart is visually intuitive and easy to understand, but specific data values cannot be accurately obtained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidspecific data values
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the visualization chart with an auxiliary data presentation area that displays specific data values corresponding to points on the chart. This combination allows users to simultaneously view both the visual representation and the precise numerical data, resolving the contradiction between visual intuitiveness and data accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary element (the auxiliary data presentation area) that acts as a bridge between the visualization chart and the specific data values. This intermediary enables users to obtain accurate data information without leaving the visual context, thus maintaining both visual intuitiveness and data precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If more data information is presented in the chart, then more comprehensive analysis is enabled, but the chart becomes more complex and harder to interpret

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidchart complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data presentation into two distinct parts: the visualization chart for visual interpretation and the auxiliary data presentation area for detailed information. This segmentation allows comprehensive data to be presented without increasing the complexity of the chart itself, as the additional information is organized separately in the auxiliary area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Difficulty of detecting and measuring

If specific data points are highlighted in the chart, then anomaly detection is improved, but the visual clarity of the overall chart is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanomaly detectionVSAvoidvisual clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Difficulty of detecting and measuringVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses the auxiliary data presentation area as an intermediary to highlight specific data points. Instead of visually emphasizing points directly on the chart (which would reduce visual clarity), the system presents detailed information about specific points in the auxiliary area, maintaining chart clarity while enabling effective anomaly detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The disclosure relates to the technical field of data presentation of charts, and specifically provides an auxiliary data presentation method for a visualization chart, a data presentation apparatus, and a medium, with the intention of solving the problem of being unable to obtain accurate data from charts. For this purpose, an auxiliary data presentation method for a visualization chart according to the disclosure includes the following steps: determining a data point to be analyzed in a target visualization chart, the data point to be analyzed including a floating data point and/or at least one marked data point; and presenting data information for each data point to be analyzed in a first data presentation area, where the first data presentation area and the target visualization chart are in a same interactive interface. Presenting, in the first data presentation area, the data information for the data point to be analyzed in the determined target visualization chart enables dual-channel presentation of the data point to be analyzed, by means of visualization and data using the target visualization chart and the first data presentation area.
