Abstract
A method for interactive review of a dataset and an apparatus configured to enable interactive review of a dataset are described. A user request to review the dataset is received via user input. Responsive to this request, a processor generates representative values from the dataset for a coarse view of the dataset and for a fine view of the dataset. A user interface generator then outputs a graphic user interface displaying the coarse view of the dataset and the fine view of the dataset.
Claims7
A method for interactive review of a dataset, the method comprising:
- receiving a user request to review the dataset;
- generating representative values from the dataset for a coarse view of the dataset;
- generating representative values from the dataset for a fine view of the dataset;
- and
- displaying the coarse view of the dataset and the fine view of the dataset in a graphic user interface,
The method according to claim I, wherein the representative values for the coarse view of the dataset are generated by clustering data elements of the dataset in accordance with a number of displayable values in the coarse view and determining a value to be displayed for each cluster.
The method according to claim I, further comprising:
- receiving a user input specifying a region of the coarse view;
- generating representative values from the dataset for the fine view of the dataset in accordance with the region specified by the user;
- and
- updating the fine view of the dataset with the generated representative values from the dataset.
An apparatus configured to enable interactive review of a dataset, the apparatus comprising:
- a user input configured to receive a user request to review the dataset;
- a processor configured to generate representative values from the dataset for a coarse view of the dataset and for a fine view of the dataset;
- and
- a user interface generator configured to output a graphic user interface displaying the coarse view of the dataset and the fine view of the dataset.
A computer readable storage medium having stored therein instructions enabling interactive review of a dataset, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- receive a user request to review the dataset;
- generate representative values from the dataset for a coarse view of the dataset;
- generate representative values from the dataset for a fine view of the dataset;
- and
- output a graphic user interface displaying the coarse view of the dataset and the fine view of the dataset.
