Data Visualization Interface with Concurrent Workspace Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data analytics systems are inefficient due to disorganized navigation and inability to concurrently display multiple data visualizations, leading to reduced usability and productivity, as users often have to browse through numerous files and open multiple browser windows, which can result in cluttered screens and rendering issues.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that displays a user interface with a menu of performance topics as 'pills' that can be dragged into workspaces, allowing concurrent display of multiple data visualizations on a single screen, with a server system retrieving and transmitting relevant data visualizations based on user login and permissions, enabling efficient access and comparison.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users browse through file directories to locate relevant data visualizations, then users can access data visualizations, but the navigation becomes inefficient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a search interface as an intermediary between the user and the file directory system. Instead of directly browsing through organized file directories, users can input search terms in the search interface, which then retrieves relevant data visualizations from the directory structure. This mediator layer abstracts the complexity of directory navigation and provides direct access to relevant content based on user queries.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users open multiple browser windows to view multiple data visualizations, then users can compare information, but the display screen becomes congested and cluttered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple data visualization displays into a single unified browser window. Instead of requiring separate browser windows for each data visualization, the system enables multiple visualizations to be displayed simultaneously within one window through tabs or integrated display areas. This combining approach maintains the ability to view and compare multiple visualizations while consolidating screen space usage and reducing visual clutter from multiple window frames.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users open multiple browser windows to view multiple data visualizations, then users can access multiple visualizations, but rendering delays and errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple data visualization rendering operations into a single browser window context. By displaying multiple visualizations within one window rather than separate windows, the system consolidates rendering resources and manages them through a unified rendering engine. This approach eliminates rendering inconsistencies that can occur when switching between multiple independent window contexts, ensuring consistent and reliable display of all visualizations simultaneously.
4Quantity of substance
If known programs list all pre-built data visualizations in file directories, then users can access available visualizations, but users cannot efficiently filter by relevance or permissions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a search interface as an intermediary between the comprehensive file directory system and the user. The search interface receives user queries and filters the large collection of data visualizations based on relevance to the search terms and user permissions. This mediator layer processes the relationship between the extensive available content and user needs, efficiently retrieving only the relevant subset rather than requiring users to manually browse through all available visualizations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and prioritizes relevant data visualizations from the complete file directory collection based on search criteria and user permissions. Instead of presenting the entire directory structure, the system extracts only the subset of visualizations that match the user's search terms and access rights, filtering out irrelevant content and presenting a focused results set that directly addresses user needs.
Data Source
AI summary
A method includes, responsive to receiving a user login, displaying a user interface on a display screen of a computing device. The user interface includes a menu listing multiple pills that are associated with different performance topics. The user interface includes a large work space and multiple small work spaces. The method includes receiving a first data visualization and a second data visualization from a visualization database remote from the computing device via a network. The first data visualization represents the performance topic associated with a first pill of the pills, and the second data visualization representing a performance topic associated with a second pill of the pills. The method also includes concurrently displaying the first data visualization within a first small work space of the small work spaces and the second data visualization within the large work space.
