20090158181 | USER INTERFACE METHOD AND APPARATUS TO NAVIGATE A DOCUMENT FILE - A method is provided to produce a visual interface to an electronic device comprising: displaying a first region of a document superimposed with a context map within a display window; displaying a position marker within the context map at a first position relative to the context map; wherein the context map has dimensions that are substantially proportionate to dimensions of the document; wherein the first region of the document is disposed at a first position relative to the document that is substantially the same as the first position of the position marker relative to the context map; displaying a change of the position marker from the first position to a second position within the context map; and displaying in response to the change of the position marker to the second position, a second region of the document is displayed that is disposed at a second position relative to the document that is substantially the same as the second position of the position marker relative to the context map. | 06-18-2009 |
20090187815 | USER INTERFACE METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA FROM DATA CUBES AND PIVOT TABLES - Systems, methods, and computer readable media provide space-efficient user interfaces to data cubes and pivot table information. Because the user interfaces are more efficient in usage of display area, smaller displays can be used more effectively in reviewing such data. The user interfaces provide a multi-dimensional navigation approach among dimensions represented in the data, which allows users to more easily maintain context when reviewing large pivot table reports, and the like. Other user interface features that ease review of such reports on smaller devices also are disclosed. | 07-23-2009 |
20100214300 | Displaying Bar Charts With A Fish-Eye Distortion Effect - A system and a method are disclosed for visually displaying data points using charts on a display screen with limited display area. A fish-eye distortion region allows presentation of detailed information for some data points compared to other data points that are displayed. The chart can be moved relative to the distortion region thereby changing the data points displayed within the fish-eye that present additional information. The relative movement between the chart and the distortion region is triggered by different kinds of inputs from the user including, tilting of the device, swiping with a pointing device and selecting a particular data point. | 08-26-2010 |
20100251151 | DISPLAYING STACKED BAR CHARTS IN A LIMITED DISPLAY AREA - A system and a method are disclosed for visually displaying data points using stacked bar charts on a display screen with limited display area. A magnification region allows presentation of detailed information for a stacked bar compared to other stacked bars displayed. A stacked bar within a magnification region can be further magnified to display additional information for individual bars within the stacked bar. An individual bar is expanded to a height suitable for displaying information associated with the bar. The stacked bar chart can be moved relative to the magnification region thereby changing the stacked bar displayed within the magnification region. | 09-30-2010 |
20100253686 | DISPLAYING PIE CHARTS IN A LIMITED DISPLAY AREA - A system and a method are disclosed for visually displaying data points using pie charts on a display screen with limited display area. Detailed information is presented for individual sectors compared to other sectors displayed. The sector is selected for displaying detailed information based on its orientation with respect to a centerline axis of the chart. The pie chart can be rotated to cause detailed information to be displayed for different sectors. The mechanism is used to display detailed information of data points for other kinds of charts including multi-series pie charts and donut charts. | 10-07-2010 |
20100309228 | Displaying Multi-Dimensional Data Using a Rotatable Object - Effective display of data organized along multiple dimensions on a device having a display area that is small compared to the amount of data being shown in the chart is provided. A three-dimensional object that can be rotated along various axes of rotation is displayed in a particular orientation, displaying information related to a data point. Rotation of the object causes the object to be displayed in a different orientation thereby displaying information related to a different data point. The coordinates of the new data point displayed are determined based on the original coordinates and the direction and amount of rotation of the object. In one embodiment, a data arranged along two-dimensions is associated with a cube that can be rotated vertically or horizontally. | 12-09-2010 |
