VISUAL TIME FILTER CONTROL TOOL FOR DATA ANALYSIS APPLICATIONS
First Claim
1. A computer storage medium having computer readable instructions stored thereupon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- display a graphical user interface of a visual time filter control tool, the graphical user interface comprising a plurality of selectable time periods;
associate the visual time filter control tool with data;
receive a selection of one or more of the plurality of selectable time periods via the graphical user interface of the visual time filter control tool;
filter the data in accordance with the selection of the one or more of the plurality of selectable time periods to create a filtered dataset of the data; and
display the filtered dataset.

Abstract
A visual time filter control (“VTFC”) tool enables a user to select one or more time periods for which the user desires to time filter data via a graphical user interface (“GUI”). According to one aspect, a computer-implemented method for filtering data by time includes displaying a GUI of a VTFC tool. The GUI includes a plurality of selectable time periods. The method further includes associating the VTFC tool with data, receiving a selection of one or more of the plurality of selectable time periods via the GUI of the VTFC tool, filtering the data in accordance with the selection to create a filtered dataset of the data, and displaying the filtered dataset.

20. A computer-implemented method for filtering data by time, the computer-implemented method comprising performing computer-implemented operations for:
-
displaying a graphical user interface of a visual time filter control tool, the graphical user interface comprising a time view comprising a plurality of selectable time periods, each of which is associated with one of a plurality of time labels, and each of which comprises one of a year, a quarter, a month, or a day, a filter label identifying one or more of the plurality of time periods for which a time filter has been applied via the visual time filter control tool, and a parent label comprising context for the plurality of time labels, the context comprising a particular year if the plurality of time labels is months and a particular month if the plurality of time labels is days; and displaying a filtered dataset comprising data filtered via the time filter, the filtered dataset being displayed in a chart.
