Abstract

A device, method, computer program product, and network subsystem are described for displaying a portion of a data structure or for obtaining an inter-core linkage in association with a tabular data object and for deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure or for deciding whether to update the tabular data object in response to the inter-core linkage obtained in association with the tabular data object.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

displaying a portion of a data structure; and

deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure.

2. The method of claim 1 in which displaying a portion of a data structure comprises:

rendering a graphic image from the data structure.

3. The method of claim 1 in which deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

receiving via a network port a message explicitly signaling the inter-core linkage.

4. The method of claim 1 in which deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

updating the data structure by delegating a task to a network resource.

5. The method of claim 1 in which deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

updating the inter-core linkage.

6. The method of claim 1 in which deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

receiving at least one predictive value.

7. A first method comprising:

performing a reception of or a transmission of one or more instructions relating to a second method including;

displaying a portion of a data structure; and

deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure.

8. The first method of claim 7 in which performing a reception of or a transmission of one or more instructions relating to a second method comprises:

performing a reception of or a transmission of one or more instructions relating to displaying a portion of a data structure.

9. The first method of claim 7 in which performing a reception of or a transmission of one or more instructions relating to a second method comprises:

performing a reception of or a transmission of one or more instructions relating to deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure.

10. A network subsystem comprising:

means for displaying a portion of a data structure including means for displaying one or more cognitive symbols at least partly based on one or more estimates from the data structure; and

means for deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure including means for participating in a handshaking operation across the inter-core linkage; and

means for receiving one or more instructions relating to one or more of the inter-core linkage, the data structure, or a decision to update the data structure.

11. A network subsystem comprising:

means for displaying a portion of a data structure; and

means for deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure.

13. The network subsystem of claim 11 in which the means for displaying a portion of a data structure comprises:

means for displaying one or more cognitive symbols at least partly based on one or more estimates from the data structure.

15. The network subsystem of claim 11 in which the means for displaying a portion of a data structure comprises:

means for rendering a graphic image from the data structure.

16. The network subsystem of claim 11 in which the means for deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

means for requesting the inter-core linkage incorporating a reference to a network address.

17. The network subsystem of claim 11 in which the means for deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

means for updating the data structure by delegating a task to a network resource.

18. The network subsystem of claim 11 in which the means for deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

means for displaying one or more cognitive symbols identifying the inter-core linkage via a user interface.

19. The network subsystem of claim 11 in which the means for deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

means for participating in a handshaking operation across the inter-core linkage.

20. The network subsystem of claim 11 in which the means for deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

means for updating the inter-core linkage.

21. The network subsystem of claim 11 in which the means for deciding whether to update the data structure in response to an inter-core linkage and to input received after displaying the portion of the data structure comprises:

means for updating at least an element of the portion of the data structure responsive to the input received after displaying the portion of the data structure.

22. The network subsystem of claim 11 further comprising:

means for receiving a substitute value for a displayed element of the portion of the data structure.

23. The network subsystem of claim 11 further comprising:

means for receiving one or more instructions relating to one or more of the inter-core linkage, the data structure, or a decision to update the data structure.

12. The network subsystem of claim 111 in which the means for displaying a portion of a data structure comprises:

means for displaying one or more identifiers of a physical object type in the portion of the data structure.

14. The network subsystem of claim 111 in which the means for displaying a portion of a data structure comprises:

means for plotting one or more variables at least partly based on data from the data structure.
