CONTEXT-SENSITIVE VIEWS

摘要

A context-sensitive viewing system is disclosed in which various data visualizations, also referred to a contextual views, of a common set of data may be viewed by a user on an electronic device. Data in the system may comprise data objects and associated properties and/or metadata, and may be stored in one or more electronic data stores. As a user of the system views and manipulates a first contextual view of a set of data objects, one or more other contextual views of the same set of data objects may be updated accordingly. Updates to the secondary contextual views may, in various embodiments, happen real-time. Further, the secondary contextual views may be visible to the user simultaneously with the primary contextual view. A user may switch from one view to another, and may manipulate data in any view, resulting in updates in the other views.

主权项

1. A computer system comprising:
an electronic database configured to store a plurality of data objects and properties associated with each of the data objects; and one or more hardware processors in communication with a computer readable medium storing software instructions that are executable by the one or more hardware processors in order to cause the one or more hardware processors to:
generate a primary contextual view including a primary visualization of a set of data objects and associated properties, wherein the primary contextual view is interactive;generate one or more secondary contextual views distinct from the primary contextual view, wherein:
each secondary contextual view includes respective secondary visualizations of the set of data objects,each of the secondary visualizations is distinct from the primary visualization, andthe one or more secondary contextual views are interactive; andin response to receiving a user input interacting with a data object in the primary contextual view, cause a corresponding interaction with a corresponding data object in one or more of the secondary contextual views.
