PROPOSING VISUAL DISPLAY COMPONENTS FOR PROCESSING DATA
First Claim
1. A method of operating a computing device to construct a user interface for interacting with a data set, the method comprising:
- identifying in the data set at least one dimension of data having variability;
analyzing a visual display component adapted to receive a user input via an input device of the computer device, the user input indicating a change in one of the at least one identified dimension of data associated with the data set, wherein the analyzing determines whether the visual display component is capable of (i) receiving the user input indicating the change in the at least one identified dimension of data and (ii) producing a visual output within the visual display component in response to the user input indicating the change in one of the at least one identified dimension of data;
when the visual display component is determined to be capable of receiving the user input indicating the change in at least one identified dimension of data, presenting to a user a suggestion for incorporating the visual display component in a user interface configured for interaction with the data set;
receiving another user input selecting the visual display component in the presented suggestion to the user; and
in response to receiving the another user input selecting the visual display component, incorporating the selected visual display component in the user interface for interaction with the data set.

Abstract
A pattern of visual interactivity may be automatically proposed for processing a data set that exhibits dimensions of variability. A visual display component may be analyzed to assess whether it is capable of receiving user input representing changes that correspond to types of changes of the identified dimensions of the data set. A suitable visual display component may be provided as a suggestion on a user interface for potentially using the visual display component to allow a user to interact with the data. In some embodiments, a visual display component includes a number of visual objects and/or visually interactive components for use within a graphical user interface. A visual display component may include one or more analytic patterns having at least one of an equation, rule, constraint, expression or combination thereof that represents the analytic pattern. Alternatively, a visual display component may involve a visual display representation of data through visual characteristics of a graphical object.

12. A computer system for processing a data set having at least one dimension of data with variability in the data set, comprising:
-
a storage device comprising a library of visual display components; at least one processor configured to; analyze the data set to identify the at least one dimension of data with variability in the data set; analyze at least some of the visual display components in the library to identify in the library a visual display component capable of receiving a user input representing a change in one dimension in the data set, the change in the dimension matching at least a portion of the identified at least one dimension of data with variability in the data set, and wherein the identified visual display component is also capable of producing one or more visual outputs within the visual display component in response to the user input representing the change in the dimension of data in the data set; generate an output suggesting use of the identified visual display component in a graphical user interface; and generate a graphical user interface incorporating a representation of the identified visual display component in response to receiving a user input requesting use of the suggested visual display component. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method of interacting with a data set, the method comprising:
-
selecting a data set having at least one dimension of data for user interaction, the data set having a variability of data along the at least one dimension; analyzing a visual display component to determine a capability for (1) the visual display component to receive input from a user through a user interface indicating a change in the at least one dimension of the data in the data set and (2) producing one or more visual outputs within the visual display component in response to the input indicating the change in the at least one dimension of the data in the data set; when the visual display component is determined to be capable of (1) receiving input representing the change in the at least one dimension of data in the data set and (2) producing one or more visual outputs within the visual display component in response to the received user input indicating the change in the at least one dimension of data in the data set, proposing a suggestion to the user for incorporating the visual display component configured for interacting with the data set in the user interface; receiving a user input selecting the visual display component in the proposed suggestion to the user; and incorporating the selected visual display component in the user interface for interaction with the data set. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
