Abstract

A method and systems for generating interactively mapped data visualizations are provided. The system includes geocoded data and a user interface for displaying visualized geocoded data. A visualization circuitry is configured to access the time-series geocoded data, obtain activity data, develop relationship data according to the obtained activity data to reflect relationships among the time-series geocoded data, select a data display mode and process the time-series geocoded data by receiving a selection, generating an area map, filtering the time series geocoded data, associating the relationship data with the filtered time series geocoded data, transforming the filtered time series geocoded, and generating a display of the displayable data.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a memory storing time-series geocoded data;

visualization circuitry in communication with the memory,

the visualization circuitry configured to;

access the time-series geocoded data from the memory;

obtain activity data that is embedded with the time-series geocoded data;

develop relationship data according to the obtained activity data to reflect relationships among the time-series geocoded data;

select a data display mode from a plurality of pre-determined data display modes for the time-series geocoded data based on the activity data and the data relationship;

process the time-series geocoded data by;

receiving a selection of the data display mode;

generating an area map for the selected data display mode;

filtering the time series geocoded data to obtain a subset of data based on the data display mode;

associating the relationship data with the filtered time series geocoded data;

transforming the filtered time series geocoded data and the relationship data to displayable data according to the activity data, the relationship data and the selected data display mode; and

generating a display of the displayable data in the area map according to the relationship data and the activity data.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the visualization circuitry comprises a plurality of predetermined filters for filtering the time series geocoded data, wherein the plurality of predetermined filters comprise:

1) time period,

     2) a first attribute category, and

     3) a second attribute category.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the plurality of filters that are used by the visualization circuitry for filtering are applied by:

receiving a selection of a time period to select a first subset of the time series geocoded data;

receiving a selection of a first attribute category of geocoded data to select a second subset of the time series geocoded data;

receiving a selection of a second attribute category to select a third subset of the time series geocoded data; and

retrieving the filtered time series geocoded data commonly contained in the first subset, second subset and third subset of the time series geocoded data.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the activity data comprises shots, hits, assists and statistical data for a player in a hockey game, wherein the shots, the hits or assist are displayed in the area map that mimics a sports playing field.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the relationship data comprises a matrix for each team in a sports competition to show passing to and from each player on the team.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the area map comprises a circle to show goals, on target shots, missed shots in a sports competition for a team in a wheel format, wherein the wheel format comprises concentric rings that represent number of shot types, players and the team.

7. The system of claim 6, where the concentric rings of the wheel format comprise at least three layers, wherein the at least three layers comprises a inner layer representing the team, an outer layer representing the players and a middle layer between the inner layer and the outer layer, wherein the middle layer represents the short types.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the area map is a sports playing field format that comprises hexagons, wherein the hexagons represent accuracy of the shots which is calculated by counting a number of shots on target plus a number of goals and dividing by the total number of shots in an area of the hexagons.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the relationship data comprises a direction and a distance of passing from one player to another play in a sports competition.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the relationship data comprises a hit relationship showing an offensive hit and a defensive hit, wherein both the offensive hit and the defensive hit are displayed in the area map.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein the relationship data comprises a hit relationship showing an offensive hit and a defensive hit, wherein both the offensive hit and the defensive hit are displayed in the area map.

11. A method comprising:

storing time-series geocoded data in a memory;

accessing, by a visualization circuitry, the time-series geocoded data from the memory;

obtaining, by a visualization circuitry, activity data that is embedded with the time-series geocoded data;

developing, by a visualization circuitry, relationship data according to the obtained activity data to reflect relationships among the time-series geocoded data;

selecting, by a visualization circuitry, a data display mode from a plurality of pre-determined data display modes for the time-series geocoded data based on the activity data and the data relationship;

processing, by a visualization circuitry, the time-series geocoded data by;

receiving a selection of the data display mode;

generating an area map for the selected data display mode;

filtering the time series geocoded data to obtain a subset of data based on the data display mode;

associating the relationship data with the filtered time series geocoded data;

transforming the filtered time series geocoded data and the relationship data to displayable data according to the activity data, the relationship data and the selected data display mode; and

generating a display of the displayable data in the area map according to the relationship data and the activity data.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein filtering the time series geocoded data by using a plurality of predetermined filters, wherein the plurality of predetermined filters comprise:

1) time period,

     2) a first attribute category, and

     3) a second attribute category.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the plurality of filters that are used by the visualization circuitry for filtering are applied by:

receiving a selection of a time period to select a first subset of the time series geocoded data;

receiving a selection of a first attribute category of geocoded data to select a second subset of the time series geocoded data;

receiving a selection of a second attribute category to select a third subset of the time series geocoded data; and

retrieving the filtered time series geocoded data commonly contained in the first subset, second subset and third subset of the time series geocoded data.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the activity data comprises shots, hits, assists and statistical data for a player in a hockey game, wherein the shots, the hits or assist are displayed in the area map that mimics a sports playing field.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the relationship data comprises a matrix for each team in a sports competition to show passing to and from each player on the team.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the area map comprises a circle to show goals, on target shots, missed shots in a sports competition for a team in a wheel format, wherein the wheel format comprises concentric rings that represent number of shot types, players and the team.

17. The method of claim 16, where the concentric rings of the wheel format comprise at least three layers, wherein the at least three layers comprises a inner layer representing the team, an outer layer representing the players and a middle layer between the inner layer and the outer layer, wherein the middle layer represents the short types.

18. method of claim 11, wherein the area map is a sports playing field format that comprises hexagons, wherein the hexagons represent accuracy of the shots which is calculated by counting a number of shots on target plus a number of goals and dividing by the total number of shots in an area of the hexagons.
