Spatiotemporal Data Replay with Map and Pie Chart Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Video display systems face challenges in effectively presenting large amounts of spatiotemporal data to users, particularly in time-critical surveillance scenarios, where users need assistance to filter out irrelevant information.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for coordinating session replay of spatiotemporal data, featuring a video display system that presents a map and a pie chart, with markers indicating geolocations and organizational breakdowns, along with playback controls and a timeline, allowing users to dynamically configure and interact with the data for enhanced data representation and filtering.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If large amounts of spatiotemporal data are presented to users, then data completeness is improved, but user ability to filter relevant information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces automated filtering and highlighting mechanisms as intermediaries between the raw spatiotemporal data and the user. These mechanisms automatically identify and emphasize relevant data elements (such as highlighting specific markers, paths, or time periods) while suppressing irrelevant information, thereby resolving the contradiction between presenting complete data and enabling easy filtering.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts and separates relevant information from the large body of spatiotemporal data using automated analysis. By pulling out only the pertinent data elements (such as specific object trajectories, anomaly events, or relevant time windows) and presenting them prominently, the system maintains data completeness while eliminating the need for manual filtering by users.
2Loss of information
If detailed spatiotemporal data is displayed, then information completeness is improved, but time to analyze data deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary automated analysis and organization of spatiotemporal data before presenting it to users. Data is pre-processed to identify relevant patterns, filter noise, and structure information in meaningful ways (such as organizing by object, time period, or spatial region). This preliminary action ensures information completeness is maintained while significantly reducing the time users need to spend analyzing the data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments large volumes of spatiotemporal data into manageable, organized units (such as dividing by time windows, spatial zones, or object groups). Each segment is independently analyzed and presented with relevant highlights, allowing users to comprehend complete information through structured portions rather than overwhelming raw data, thereby reducing analysis time.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple data representations are provided, then data visualization quality is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified data processing framework that handles multiple representation formats (such as maps, timelines, charts, and tables) through a single system architecture. This universal system can dynamically generate and switch between different visualization types based on user needs and data characteristics, thereby providing high-quality multi-format visualization without proportionally increasing system complexity.

AI summary
A system and method for coordinating session replay of spatiotemporal data and presentation of a graphical representation of said data. A disclosed video display system is capable of providing, in a displayed image, i) a diagrammatic representation and ii) a first graphical representation. The graphical elements in the first graphical representation can be dependent on the geolocations of one or more tracked objects, such as wireless terminals, that are represented in the spatiotemporal data and that are presented in the displayed image. The video display system can provide, for example, a map of a geographic area as the diagrammatic representation and a pie chart as the first graphical representation. A user of the system is able to control playback of the spatiotemporal data that are being presented on the map and to observe the pie chart being updated over time by the system during playback of the data.
