Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090158181USER 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
20090187815USER 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

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
20100309228Displaying 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
