Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for data-interrelated dynamically-updated screen devices is disclosed. The system receives a list of attributes, at least two of the attributes correspond to at least one entity from within the entity dataset. Then, a first screen device is displayed that shows at least one first attribute selected from the list of attributes. The first attribute comprising a first range of first values. The system also displays a second screen device that shows at least one second attribute selected from the list of attributes. The second attribute comprising a second range of second values. A user interacts with the screen devices in order to specify a query, and directs the system to access the entity dataset using the query to retrieve a query result set. The results returned by the query are used to update the screen devices.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for searching an entity dataset using data-interrelated dynamically-updated screen devices, the method comprising:

receiving, by a computer, a list of attributes, at least two of the attributes corresponding to at least one entity from within the entity dataset;

displaying, on a display unit, a first screen device, the first screen device to show at least one first attribute selected from the list of attributes, the first attribute comprising a first range of first values;

displaying a second screen device, the second screen device to show at least one second attribute selected from the list of attributes, the second attribute comprising a second range of second values;

accessing the entity dataset using a query to retrieve a query result set, the query using at least one first value from among first range of first values;

updating the second screen device, the second screen device to show at least one second range comprising at least one second value of a second attribute, the at least one second value being included in the query result set.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein updating the second screen device comprises displaying a slider division series based on the second range.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein updating the second screen device comprises displaying an attribute label based on the second attribute.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising analyzing the dataset to identify a second list of attributes.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first screen device and the second screen device are both dynamically-updated slider screen devices

6. The method of claim 1, wherein updating the second screen device comprises displaying a map screen device, the map screen device icons based on the second value.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising resetting the search parameters.

8. A computer system to implement data-interrelated dynamically-updated screen devices, comprising:

a computer processor to execute a set of program code instructions; and

a memory to hold the program code instructions, in which the program code instructions comprises program code to perform, receiving a list of attributes, at least two of the attributes corresponding to at least one entity from within the entity dataset;

displaying a first screen device, the first screen device to show at least one first attribute selected from the list of attributes, the first attribute comprising a first range of first values;

displaying a second screen device, the second screen device to show at least one second attribute selected from the list of attributes, the second attribute comprising a second range of second values;

accessing the entity dataset using a query to retrieve a query result set, the query using at least one first value from among first range of first values;

updating the second screen device, the second screen device to show at least one second range comprising at least one second value of a second attribute, the at least one second value being included in the query result set.

9. The computer system of claim 8, wherein updating the second screen device comprises displaying a slider division series based on the second range.

10. The computer system of claim 8, wherein updating the second screen device comprises displaying an attribute label based on the second attribute.

11. The computer system of claim 8, further comprising analyzing the dataset to identify a second list of attributes.

12. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the first screen device and the second screen device are both dynamically-updated slider screen devices

13. The computer system of claim 8, wherein updating the second screen device comprises displaying a map screen device, the map screen device icons based on the second value.

14. The computer system of claim 8, further comprising resetting the search parameters.

15. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer readable medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by a processor causes the processor to execute a method to implement data-interrelated dynamically-updated screen devices, the method comprising:

receiving a list of attributes, at least two of the attributes corresponding to at least one entity from within the entity dataset;

displaying a first screen device, the first screen device to show at least one first attribute selected from the list of attributes, the first attribute comprising a first range of first values;

displaying a second screen device, the second screen device to show at least one second attribute selected from the list of attributes, the second attribute comprising a second range of second values;

accessing the entity dataset using a query to retrieve a query result set, the query using at least one first value from among first range of first values;

updating the second screen device, the second screen device to show at least one second range comprising at least one second value of a second attribute, the at least one second value being included in the query result set.

16. The computer program product of claim 15, wherein updating the second screen device comprises displaying a slider division series based on the second range.

17. The computer program product of claim 15, wherein updating the second screen device comprises displaying an attribute label based on the second attribute.

18. The computer program product of claim 15, further comprising analyzing the dataset to identify a second list of attributes.

19. The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the first screen device and the second screen device are both dynamically-updated slider screen devices

20. The computer program product of claim 15, wherein updating the second screen device comprises displaying a map screen device, the map screen device icons based on the second value.
