| 20110202888 | INFORMATION VISUALIZATION SYSTEM - A Web browsing and visualization system and method wherein: (i) Web data is retrieved and displayed in real-time (i.e., Web data is not pre-recorded), (ii) browsing and visualization are synchronized together in the same interface, (iii) a tree-based, rings-type visualization engine, (iv) space-efficient display of visualization, and (v) the amount of resources needed from the host computer is comparatively modest. In addition, the tree-based rings engine used to create the visualization displays the information in a smaller area than previous systems. Thus, the system requires less screen space to display the same amount of information as comparable systems. Alternatively, it can display more information to the user in the same amount of screen space as comparable systems. Moreover, although the present invention is disclosed herein in connection with visualizing Web data, it can be applied to portray any information hierarchy. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20130275921 | ACCORDION STYLE BREAD CRUMBING FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS - Techniques are provided for navigating through a hierarchy of views while generating a bread-crumb display that continues to provide an indication of each ancestor view even when the labels for all ancestor views do not fit within the bread-crumb display. When the bread-crumb display does not have sufficient room remaining to accommodate the label of a view to which the user has navigated, the current content of the bread-crumb display contracts, like an accordion, to make room for the new label. The contracted version of the bread-crumb display continues to have an indication of all traversed levels, though the labels for some or all of the ancestor views may be partially or completely obscured. The contracted version of the bread-crumb display may be expanded, and used to navigate back up the hierarchy. | 10-17-2013 |
