Infoscenting Fields for Multi-Fact Data Model Analysis Using Shared Dimensions - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240378219 titled 'Infoscenting Fields for Multi-Fact Data Model Analysis Using Shared Dimensions

The abstract describes a computing device that displays data field icons in a user interface, each corresponding to a data field associated with an object in an object model. When a user selects a data field icon and places it in a shelf region, the device generates a data visualization and updates the visual characteristics of other data field icons associated with different objects in the model.

• User interface displays data field icons corresponding to data fields in an object model.
• User can select and place data field icons in a shelf region.
• Device generates data visualizations and updates visual characteristics of other data field icons.
• Data field icons are associated with different objects in the object model.
• Icons in the subset can be selected independently of visual characteristics.

Potential Applications: - Data visualization tools - Object modeling software - User interface design

Problems Solved: - Efficient data field selection and visualization - Simplified object model interaction

Benefits: - Enhanced user experience - Improved data analysis capabilities - Streamlined object model navigation

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Data Visualization Tool for Object Models This technology can be used in various industries such as data analytics, business intelligence, and software development to improve data visualization and object model interaction.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve user interaction with object models? This technology enhances user interaction by allowing for easy selection and visualization of data fields associated with different objects in the model.

2. What are the potential benefits of using this technology in data analysis? Using this technology can lead to improved data analysis capabilities, streamlined navigation of object models, and enhanced user experience.

Original Abstract Submitted

a computing device displays, in a user interface, data field icons corresponding to a plurality of data fields. each of the data fields is associated with a respective object in an object model. in response to receiving (i) user selection of a first data field icon corresponding to a first data field, and (ii) placement of the first data field icon in a shelf region of the user interface, where the first data field is associated with a first object of the object model, the computing device generates a first data visualization and updates a visual characteristic of a subset of the data field icons from a first visual characteristic to a second visual characteristic. each data field icon in the subset is associated with a second object of the object model. the data field icons in the subset are user-selectable independently of the first or second visual characteristic.
