20090254452 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING AN ACTION BASED ON USER INTERACTION WITH A GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION - A method for performing an action based on user interaction with a graphical presentation, according to one embodiment. In use, output data is generated corresponding to a multidimensional presentation of graphical representations of two or more consumer products in relation to each other. Additionally, positions of the graphical representations of the consumer products relative to each other are based on multiple attributes of the products. Further, none of the dimensions correlates to a side by side ordering of the consumer products. Further still, a user selection of one or more of the consumer products is received. Also, a transaction is performed based on additional input received from the user. Additional embodiments are also presented. | 10-08-2009 |
20100088154 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR COMPUTING AND OUTPUTTING A TIMELINE VALUE, INDICATION OF POPULARITY, AND RECOMMENDATION - A computer-implemented method is provided for computing and outputting a timeline value. In use, model data about a product is received. Additionally, thresholds relevant to the model data are received or computed. Further, a timeline value is computed based on comparing the thresholds to the model data, where the timeline value is indicative of a current stage in a lifecycle of the product. Further still, the timeline value is output. Additional systems, methods and computer program products are also implemented. For example, methods are presented for computing and outputting an indication of product buzz and/or popularity. Other methods include using one or more of timeline, popularity, sentiment, value, discount ratings, etc. to compute a recommendation and output the same. | 04-08-2010 |

20120311474 | MAP-BASED METHODS OF VISUALIZING RELATIONAL DATABASES - Technologies are described herein for generating and manipulating visual maps of relational databases. A list of data tables is retrieved from the database and ordered according to the number of relationships for each data table. A database map is generated containing tiles corresponding to each data table in the list, wherein tiles corresponding to related data tables are adjacent along at least one edge or corner of the tiles where possible. The display attributes of each tile may be adjusted to reflect properties of the corresponding data table. The database map is then displayed to a user in a user interface, and controls are provided that allow the user to navigate and zoom the database map in the user interface in order to reveal data contained in the data tables corresponding to the displayed tiles. | 12-06-2012 |
20130054599 | Dynamically Generated List Index - Dynamically generated lists are provided. Data elements may be sorted in a list according to a value. An index may be dynamically generated to divide the data elements into one or more index groupings, the index groupings containing an equal or nearly-equal number of data elements. The index may comprise index grouping entry points allowing for navigation to each of the one or more index groupings. If a list is modified, for example a data element is added, removed, or otherwise modified, the index may be automatically regenerated to preserve equal distribution of data elements across the index groupings. | 02-28-2013 |
