US 2010/0169788 A1 · COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COLLABORATIVE DATA VISUALIZATION, MANIPULATION AND ANALYSIS

Abstract

A computer assisted system and method for the visualization, manipulation and analysis of data, in which a computer-assisted data visualization and analysis session undertaken by an analyst, including all intermediate and final data visualization, manipulation and analysis steps and functions, are electronically archived on a computer-readable medium and instantly made available to authorized collaborators so that authorized collaborators may review all the intermediate visualization, manipulation and analysis stages. Any authorized collaborator may choose any intermediate or final data visualization stage and commence a new, but related data visualization, manipulation and analysis derivative session. All derivative sessions, including all intermediate and final data visualization, manipulation and analysis steps and functions are archived and published to authorized collaborators.

Dependent claims

A system for collaborative data visualization, comprising:

a server and a database configured to store consecutive states of a computer-assisted data visualization session carried out by a first user;
a server and a database configured to control access by a second user to said stored consecutive states of a computer-assisted data visualization session;
a server and a database configured to allow said second user to select and display on a computer screen one or more of said stored consecutive states;
a server and a database configured to consecutively display consecutive states said computer assisted data visualization session to said second user;
a server and database configured to process new data visualization queries by said second user based on a stored state of said computer-assisted data visualization session;
a server and a database configured to display new data visualization states based on said new data visualization queries by said second user;
a server and a database configured to electronically store said new data visualization states as a derivative data visualization session.
