Abstract

Systems and methods for exploring a data collection. An exemplary system includes a GUI that displays a window to the user, and displays data element icons within the window representing an initial set of data elements from the data collection. Visual properties of the data element icons indicate the relevance of the data elements in the initial set to the data collection. The GUI receives input from the user selecting a data element icon within the window. Selection of the data element icon assigns a corresponding data element in the initial set as an initial anchor set. The GUI displays another window to the user, displays an anchor icon for the initial anchor set, and displays the data element icons representing a relevant set of data elements. Visual properties of the data element icons indicate the relevance of the data elements in the relevant set to the initial anchor set.

Claims35

Dependent claims

A system for exploring a collection of data, the system comprising:

a controller that identifies an initial set of data elements from the collection of data for presentation to a user as potential anchors for exploring the collection of data, and identifies an initial score for each data element in the initial set, wherein the initial score indicates a relevance of each data element in the initial set to the collection of data;
and
a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that displays a first window to the user, and displays data element icons for the data elements in the initial set within the first window, wherein visual properties of the data element icons within the first window indicate the magnitude of the initial score of the data elements in the initial set;
the GUI receives input from the user indicating at least one of the data elements in the initial set as an initial anchor set for exploring the collection of data;
the controller identifies a first relevant set of data elements that are relevant to the initial anchor set, and identifies a first relevance score for each data element in the first relevant set, wherein the first relevance score indicates relevance of each data element in the first relevant set to the initial anchor set;
the GUI displays a second window to the user, displays an anchor icon for the initial anchor set within the second window, and displays the data element icons for the data elements in the first relevant set within the second window, wherein the visual properties of the data element icons within the second window indicate the magnitude of the first relevance scores of the data elements in the first relevant set.

3 more elements

A system for exploring a collection of data, the system comprising:

a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for interacting with a user to explore the collection of data, wherein the collection of data is separated into data elements;
the GUI displays a first window to the user, and displays data element icons within the first window representing an initial set of data elements, wherein visual properties of the data element icons within the first window indicate the relevance of the data elements in the initial set to the collection of data;
the GUI receives input from the user selecting at least one of the data element icons within the first window, wherein selection of the at least one of the data element icons within the first window assigns at least one of the data elements in the initial set as an initial anchor set for exploring the collection of data;
the GUI displays a second window to the user, displays an anchor icon for the initial anchor set within the second window, and displays the data element icons within the second window representing a first relevant set of data elements, wherein the visual properties of the data element icons within the second window indicate the relevance of the data elements in the first relevant set to the initial anchor set.

1 more element

A method for exploring a collection of data, the method comprising:

displaying a first window to a user via a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for interacting with the user to explore the collection of data, wherein the collection of data is separated into data elements;
displaying data element icons within the first window via the GUI representing an initial set of data elements, wherein visual properties of the data element icons within the first window indicate the relevance of the data elements in the initial set to the collection of data;
receiving input from the user via the GUI selecting at least one of the data element icons within the first window, wherein selection of the at least one of the data element icons within the first window assigns at least one of the data elements in the initial set as an initial anchor set for exploring the collection of data;
displaying a second window to the user via the GUI;
displaying an anchor icon for the initial anchor set within the second window via the GUI;
and
displaying the data element icons within the second window via the GUI representing a first relevant set of data elements, wherein the visual properties of the data element icons within the second window indicate the relevance of the data elements in the first relevant set to the initial anchor set.
