1. A computer-implemented method for generating a data grid interface, comprising:
- receiving, via a network interface of a data mining system, data in association with a plurality of products from one or more merchant websites;
generating and presenting, by the data mining system, a data grid interface including cells based on the data, wherein each cell of the cells represents a product of the plurality of products or a replacement of the product of the plurality of products;
identifying and displaying, by the data mining system, information regarding products or replacements of the products in the cells; and
updating, by the data mining system, the contents of cells of the data grid interface automatically in real time in response to new data received from the merchant websites;
responsive to updating the contents of cells and detecting historical information of the grid, adding, by the data mining system, a time element into a cell, the time element configured to allow selection of a slice of time for the grid and the time element configured to, responsive to a selected slice of time, track the historical information of the grid by being configured to layer multiple slices of grid data on top of each other;
wherein a cell of the cells contains multiple frames and represents a product, each frame of the frames represents a status of the product at a different time point; and
wherein the cell contains an interactive time control, the interactive time control configured to cause a switch between the frames of the cell in response to a user request.

14. A computer system for generating a data grid interface, comprising:
-
a processor; a network interface, coupled to the processor, through which the computer system can retrieve data in association with a plurality of products from one or more merchant websites; and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to perform a process including; generating and presenting a data grid interface including cells based on the data, wherein each cell of the cells represents a product of the plurality of products or a replacement of the product of the plurality of products; identifying and displaying information regarding products or replacements of the products in the cells; and updating the contents of cells of the data grid interface automatically in real time in response to new data received from the merchant websites; responsive to updating the contents of cells and detecting historical information of the grid, adding, a time element into a cell, the time element configured to allow selection of a slice of time for the grid and the time element configured to, responsive to a selected slice of time, track the historical information of the qrid by being configured to layer multiple slices of grid data on top of each other; wherein a cell of the cells contains multiple frames and represents a product, each frame of the frames represents a status of the product at a different time point; and wherein the cell contains an interactive time control, the interactive time control configured to cause the frames of the cell to display sequentially in response to a user request. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
