RANGING OF VISUALISATION TYPES BASED ON DATA SET SUITABILITY FOR VISUALISATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G06F3/482 

FIELD: information technologies.

SUBSTANCE: visualisation metadata is generated for each of many different types of visualisation, besides, visualisation metadata contain data that describe one or more attributes of visualisation type, specific axes and specific sequence of data for each specific type of visualisation. Data set metadata is generated for a data set, besides, data set metadata contains data that describe one or more attributes of the specified data set. Estimates of suitability for each of many different types of visualisation are calculated on the basis of visualisation metadata and data set metadata, in process of ranging of many different types of visualisation on the basis of calculated suitability estimates. It is identified whether each of the calculated estimates of suitability exceeds the threshold. Visual representations of each of many different types of visualisation are displayed on the user interface, when the calculated estimate of suitability exceeds the threshold. Selection of one of the displayed visual representations is accepted, and a data set is represented, using visualisation types corresponding to the selected visual representation.

EFFECT: reduced time of visualisation type selection by a user.
