Abstract

A system and method for example method for displaying enterprise data via a user interface display. An example method includes providing a first user option to select enterprise data to be displayed, yielding selected data in response thereto; employing a capsule to present a visualization or infographic characterizing at least a portion of the selected data; and providing a second user option to flip or rotate the capsule, thereby displaying additional enterprise data that is related to or representative of the selected data or portion thereof. In a specific embodiment, the first user option includes a slider bar that enables a user to specify a time frame to filter the enterprise data.

Claims

1. A method, performed by a computer system, for selectively presenting data from a database, the method comprising:

generating a first user interface display screen including a category selection control, a group selection control, a data range control and two or more capsules displaying a category of information selected by the category display control, each capsule having a boundary defining that capsule'"'"'s region on the display screen;

generating a first infographic displaying a first capsule of the selected category, the first infographic displayed in the first capsule'"'"'s region including a graphical representation of a first data set of the selected category over a first range selected by the data range control;

generating in the first infographic, in response to selection by the group selection control, a comparison of data from the first data set with data from a second data set related to a group selected by the group selection control; and

flipping the first capsule to display within the first capsule'"'"'s region a replacement infographic that replaces the first infographic to show, in a different format, a comparison of at least a portion of data from the first data set with at least a portion of data from the second data set related to the group selected by the group selection control over at least a portion of the first range selected by the data range control in the selected category.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

generating a second capsule including a second infographic within the second capsule'"'"'s region, where the second infographic remains the same when the first capsule is flipped.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the data range control is a slider bar adapted to specify a time frame associated with the data.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the first data set includes one or more indications of salary.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the first data set includes one or more talent scores.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the first data set includes one or more performance ratings.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the first data set includes one or more social network metrics.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the one or more social network metrics includes an indication of a level of collaboration between the particular human resource and other human resources in the social network.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein one or more social network metrics includes a measurement of content created by the human resource within the specified time interval.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the one or more social network metrics includes an indication of a percentage of times that the human resource responds to content created by other human resources in the social network of the human resource within the specified time interval.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein the one or more social network metrics includes an indication of a number of social network connections characterizing the social network of the human resource.

12. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

generating in the first infographic, a display showing an overall score associated with the particular human resource.

13. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

simultaneously displaying the first and second data sets.

14. An apparatus comprising:

a digital processor coupled to a display and to a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes one or more instructions executable by the digital processor for;

generating a first user interface display screen including a category selection control, a group selection control, a data range control and two or more capsules displaying a category of information selected by the category display control, each capsule having a boundary defining that capsule'"'"'s region on the display screen;

generating a first infographic displaying a first capsule of the selected category, the first infographic displayed in the first capsule'"'"'s region including a graphical representation of a first data set of the selected category over a first range selected by the data range control;

generating in the first infographic, in response to selection by the group selection control, a comparison of data from the first data set with data from a second data set related to a group selected by the group selection control; and

flipping the first capsule to display within the first capsule'"'"'s region a replacement infographic that replaces the first infographic to show, in a different format, a comparison of at least a portion of data from the first data set with at least a portion of data from the second data set related to the group selected by the group selection control over at least a portion of the first range selected by the data range control in the selected category.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including one or more instructions executable by a digital processor, for:

generating a first user interface display screen including a category selection control, a group selection control, a data range control and two or more capsules displaying a category of information selected by the category display control, each capsule having a boundary defining that capsule'"'"'s region on the display screen;

generating a first infographic displaying a first capsule of the selected category the first infographic displayed in the first capsule'"'"'s region including a graphical representation of a first data set of the selected category over a first range selected by the data range control;

generating in the first infographic, in response to selection by the group selection control, a comparison of data from the first data set with data from a second data set related to a group selected by the group selection control; and

flipping the first capsule to display within the first capsule'"'"'s region a replacement infographic that replaces the first infographic to show, in a different format, a comparison of at least a portion of data from the first data set with at least a portion of data from the second data set related to the group selected by the group selection control over at least a portion of the first range selected by the data range control in the selected category.
