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:
- with at least one processor;
identifying in the data set at least one dimension of variability of data in the set;
analyzing a visual display component adapted to receive user input indicating a change in at least one dimension of data associated with the data set, the analyzing determining whether the visual display component is capable of receiving user input representing change in the data set in each of the at least one identified dimensions; and
when the visual display component is determined to be capable of receiving user input representing change in the data set in each of the at least one identified dimensions, presenting to a user a suggestion for incorporating the visual display component in a user interface configured 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.
