Abstract
Described are an apparatus and method for interactively retrieving data from one or more data sources and rendering the data in a three dimensional (3D) format. The rendering may be displayed on a hand-held device, e.g., a smart phone or tablet computer, or on a remote display device such as another phone, tablet, screen, or a projector. The apparatus and method may operate in response to one or more inputs or orientation sensors, e.g., proximity, gravimeter, gyroscope, photo, and touch sensors.
Claims27
A computer-implemented method for presenting data visually on a local display and at least one remote display, the method comprising:
- rendering in a first display format a first view of a first data series that is retrieved from a first data source, the first data series including first data elements for the local display, the first view presenting the first data series in a first display format and including a menu for each of the first data elements, each menu allowing a user to select a second data series related to the corresponding first data element and a second display format for the second data series;
- and
- responsive to a first input selecting the second data series and the second display format for the second data series, retrieving the second data series from a second data source that is located remotely from the first data source, wherein the second data source includes real-time data, rendering a second view of the selected second data series and displaying the second view on the local display in the second display format, discontiguous from the first view, wherein the second data series was not previously shown on the local display
- casting the second view to one of the at least one remote display, including displaying the second data series on the remote display in a third display format that is different than the second display format;
- and
- controlling the second view on the remote display by inputs to the local display.
A computer-implemented method for presenting data visually on a local display and at least one remote display, the method comprising:
- rendering in a first display format a first view of a first data series that is retrieved from a first data source, the first data series including first data elements for the local display, the first view presenting the first data series in a first display format and including a menu for each of the first data elements, each menu allowing a user to select a second data series related to the corresponding first data element and a second display format for the second data series;
- responsive to a first input selecting the second data series and the second display format for the second data series, retrieving the second data series from a second data source that is located remotely from the first data source, wherein the second data source includes real-time data, displaying a second view of the selected second data series on the local display in the second display format, discontiguous from the first view, wherein the second data series was not previously shown on the local display;
- responsive to a second input that includes touching or swiping the first display, transmitting a third view to the at least one remote display, including presenting the second data series on the remote display in a third display format that is different than the second display format;
- and
- controlling the third view by inputs to the local display.
A system comprising:
- a portable computing device having a local display;
- and
- a remote display wirelessly coupled to the portable computing device;
- the portable computing device programmed to perform operations including:
- rendering in a first display format a first view of a first data series that is retrieved from a first data source, the first data series including first data elements for the local display, the first view presenting the first data series in a first display format and including a menu for each of the first data elements, each menu allowing a user to select a second data series related to the corresponding first data element and a second display format for the second data series;
- and
- responsive to a first input selecting the second data series and the second display format for the second data series, retrieving the second data series from a second data source that is located remotely from the first data source, wherein the second data source includes real-time data, rendering a second view of the selected second data series, displaying the second view on the local display in the second display format, discontiguous from the first view, and casting the second view to the remote display, including displaying the second data series on the remote display in a third display format that is different than the second display format;
- and
- controlling the second view by inputs to the local display.
