Abstract
A data search and manipulation method includes accessing, by a processor, a first data element of a first data structure, the first data structure represented by a first icon, the first icon displayed in a user interface; accessing, by the processor, a second data element of a second data structure, the second data structure represented by a second icon displayed in the user interface; executing, by the processor, a first data manipulation process in response to the first icon dragged over the second icon; and executing, by the processor, a second data manipulation process in response to the second icon dragged over t
Claims20
A method for searching and manipulating data using a search-on-the-fly search engine executed by a processor, the data in a first database represented by a first icon and a second database represented by a second icon, the method, comprising:
- the processor receiving a search request for a data element in the first database;
- the processor returning the data element;
- the processor responding to a first manipulation of the first and second icons, comprising:
- detecting a first move of the first icon over the second icon,
- identifying the first move as a first search request,
- the processor executing a first search operation in response to the first search request, and
- providing a first search result;
- and
- the processor responding to a second manipulation of the first and second icons, comprising:
- detecting a second move of the second icon over the first icon,
- identifying the second move as a second search request,
- the processor executing a second search operation in response to the second search request, and
- providing a second search result different from the first search result.
A system for searching and manipulating data, the data in a first database represented by a first icon and a second database represented by a second icon, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium containing search-on-the-fly search and data manipulation instruction, wherein the processor executes the instructions to:
- receive a search request for a data element in the first database and return the data element;
- respond to a first manipulation of the first and second icons, comprising:
- detecting a first move of the first icon over the second icon,
- identifying the first move as a first search request,
- executing a first search operation in response to the first search request, and
- providing a first search result;
- and
- respond to a second manipulation of the first and second icons, comprising:
- detecting a second move of the second icon over the first icon,
- identifying the second move as a second search request,
- executing a second search operation in response to the second search request, and
- providing a second search result different from the first search result.
A data search and manipulation method, comprising:
- accessing, by a processor, a first data element of a first data structure, the first data structure represented by a first icon, the first icon displayed in a user interface;
- accessing, by the processor, a second data element of a second data structure, the second data structure represented by a second icon displayed in the user interface;
- executing, by the processor, a first data manipulation process in response to the first icon dragged over the second icon;
- and
- executing, by the processor, a second data manipulation process in response to the second icon dragged over the first icon.
