Data Visualization System with Hierarchical Visual Links
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current analytics visualization tools for social media data lack the ability to efficiently segment and analyze data subsets, making it difficult for companies to track and understand the relationship between different data subsets and visualizations.
Innovation Solution
A data visualization system that includes a data explorer or data visualizer, allowing users to select and filter data subsets, create visual links between parent and child visualizations, and dynamically update related visualizations, enabling deeper data exploration while maintaining the ability to retrace steps.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If data is segmented into multiple subsets for detailed analysis, then measurement precision and analytical depth are improved, but device complexity and difficulty of tracking relationships increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the data set into multiple data subsets (e.g., by category, time period, or source) and creating separate visualizations for each subset. This allows detailed analysis of individual segments while the system manages the complexity through automated hierarchical organization and visual links between parent and child visualizations.
2Loss of information
If multiple data subsets are created and visualized, then information completeness is improved, but loss of information about relationships between subsets increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback through visual links that connect parent visualizations to child visualizations representing data subsets. These visual links provide continuous feedback about the relationship between subsets and the overall data set, allowing users to navigate back and forth and understand how individual subsets contribute to the whole while maintaining complete information about relationships.
3Measurement precision
If detailed data exploration is enabled through multiple segmentation levels, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation decreases due to difficulty in retracing steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing visual links between parent visualizations and child visualizations before the user needs to navigate. The system automatically creates and maintains these navigational pathways, so when users need to retrace their steps or understand relationships, the path is already prepared and clearly marked, eliminating the need for manual tracking or reconstruction of navigation history.

AI summary
Systems, device and techniques are disclosed for analytics visualization. A selection of a data set may be received. A first visualization associated with the data set may be generated. A selection of a first data subset of the data set may be received. A second visualization associated with the first data subset of the data set may be generated. The second visualization may be visually linked to the first visualization with a first visual link. A selection of a second data subset of the data set may be received. A third visualization associated with the second data subset of the data set may be generated. The third visualization may be visually linked to the first visualization with a second visual link and displayed simultaneously with the second visualization.
