Abstract

Search guidance methods and system are described. A method includes generating user interface data for at least a portion of a user interface for performing data-analytics with respect to a low-latency database analysis system, the portion including a text string user input element, a data-analytics construct card type, and a data-analytics guidance portion. The data-analytics construct card type includes text on usage of a data-analytics construct card grammatical function with respect to a data-analytics grammar used by the system to process data associated with the data-analytics construct card type. The user interface data is output for presentation to a user. Data associated with the data-analytics construct card construct type is received, the text string user input element is output with the data, and an updated data-analytics guidance portion is output in response to the data. A request for data including the data is processed and results are output.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

in response to receiving data expressing a usage intent with respect to a low-latency database analysis system:
generating user interface data for at least a portion of a user interface for performing data-analytics with respect to the low-latency database analysis system, the portion of the user interface including a text string user input element, a data-analytics construct card type, and a data-analytics guidance portion, wherein the data-analytics construct card type includes text on usage of a data-analytics construct card grammatical function with respect to a data-analytics grammar used by the low-latency database analysis system to process data associated with the data-analytics construct card type;
outputting the user interface data for presentation to a user;
receiving data associated with the data-analytics construct card construct type;
outputting the text string user input element with the data received for the data-analytics construct card type;
outputting an updated data-analytics guidance portion in response to the data received for the data-analytics construct card type;
processing a request for data which includes the data received for the data-analytics construct card type;
and
outputting a visualization representing results based on the request for data.

6 more elements

A system for providing search guidance, comprising:

a processor, and
a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to:
generate user interface data for at least a portion of a user interface for performing data-analytics with respect to a low-latency database analysis system, the portion of the user interface including a text string user input element, a data-analytics construct card type, and a data-analytics guidance portion, wherein the data-analytics construct card type includes text on usage of a data-analytics construct card grammatical function with respect to a data-analytics grammar used by the low-latency database analysis system to process data associated with the data-analytics construct card type;
output the user interface data for presentation to a user;
receive data associated with the data-analytics construct card construct type;
output the text string user input element with the data received for the data-analytics construct card type;
output an updated data-analytics guidance portion in response to the data received for the data-analytics construct card type;
process a request for data which includes the data received for the data-analytics construct card type;
and
output a visualization representing results based on the request for data.
