Abstract

Embodiments of a system for creating a graphical application interface with a browser, such as a web browser, are disclosed.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a computing platform;

said computing platform adapted to create graphical application-like visualizations of data using a browser.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to create said visualizations without a plug-in.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to create said visualizations in real-time.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein computing platform is further adapted to provide an interactive viewer window to view said visualizations.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to create said visualizations using user selected features.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein said computing platform is further adapted so that selectable features include at least one of the following:

color;

shape; and

/or shading of particular graphical objects.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to create an interactive hoover and/or flyover window.

8. The system of claim 3, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to recursively create visualizations.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to create a visualization of a sub-portion of a prior visualization.

10. The system of claim 3, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to perform at least one of:

editing a visualization;

saving a visualization;

exporting a visualization; and

/or changing settings for a visualization.

11. The system of claim 3, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to create visualizations in real-time by searching said data.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to search said data by data type and/or field.

13. The system of claim 3, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to create said visualizations in real-time by linking to a database and downloading data from said database.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein said database comprises a product database.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein said computing platform if further adapted to access said database via a local area network (LAN).

16. The system of claim 13, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to access said database via the internet.

17. The system of claim 3, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to create said visualizations in real-time by linking to one or more other websites and downloading data from said one or more other websites.

18. The system of claim 3, wherein said computing platform is further adapted to create said visualizations in real-time by at least one of:

linking to a patent web site and downloading data; and

/or linking to a patent docketing system and downloading data.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein said patent website comprises the USPTO website.
