Abstract
A computing apparatus of an insight interfacing system receives from a user a request for a dataset comprising a plurality of subspaces of a multi-dimensional data structure. Insights are received based on the received request then presented on a display device. Also, a chart may be presented based on the received request. The computing apparatus receives a selection of at least a portion of the presented one or more insights or a portion of the chart, then receives contextual insights based on the selected portion and presents the contextual insights on the display device.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, a request for a dataset comprising a plurality of subspaces of a multi-dimensional data structure;
- receiving one or more insights based on the received request;
- presenting at least one of the one or more insights or a chart associated with the dataset on a display device associated with the computing device;
- receiving a selection of at least a portion of the presented one or more insights or a portion of the chart;
- receiving one or more contextual insights responsive to the selected portion;
- and
- presenting the one or more contextual insights, the one or more contextual insights comprise a textual description and a visualization.
A computing apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- a user interface device;
- a display device;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:
