Abstract

Various systems and methods are provided that display various graphs in an interactive user interface in substantially real-time in response to input from a user in order to determine information related to measured data points and provide the determined information to the user in the interactive user interface. For example, a computing device may be configured to retrieve data from one or more databases and generate one or more interactive user interfaces. The one or more interactive user interfaces may display the retrieved data in one or more graphs, such as time-series or scatterplots. The user interface may be interactive in that a user may manipulate one graph, which causes an identical or nearly identical manipulation of another displayed graph in real-time. The manipulations may occur even if the displayed graphs include data across different time ranges.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computing system comprising:
a computer processor; and
a computer readable storage medium storing program instructions configured for execution by the computer processor in order to cause a user interface module of the computing system to:
generate user interface data for rendering an interactive user interface on a computing device, the interactive user interface including a first graph, wherein the first graph includes first data values corresponding to a first type of parameter over a first time period;
receive an identification of a selection of a first data point in the first graph and a second data point in the first graph, wherein the first data point represents a beginning of a first time period and the second data point represents an end of the first time period; and
in response to the selection of the first data point and the second data point:
update, by the user interface module, the user interface data such that the interactive user interface includes a second graph that plots second data values corresponding to a second type of parameter against third data values corresponding to a third type of parameter, wherein the second data values and the third data values correspond to times within the first time period, wherein the second type of parameter is different than the first type of parameter and the third type of parameter, and wherein the third type of parameter is different than the first type of parameter and the second type of parameter.

2. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further cause the user interface module of the computing system to receive an identification of a second selection in the second graph of a combination of one of the second data values and one of the third data values.

3. The computing system of claim 2 , wherein the program instructions further cause the user interface module of the computing system to:
determine that the combination of the one of the second data values and the one of the third data values occurred at a second time inside the first time period and at a third time outside the first time period; and
update the updated user interface data such that the interactive user interface includes a first marker depicted in the first graph outside markers designating the first time period, wherein the first marker corresponds to the third time.

4. The computing system of claim 3 , wherein the program instructions further cause the user interface module of the computing system to update the second updated user interface data such that the interactive user interface includes a second marker depicted in the second graph inside the markers designating the first time period, wherein the second marker corresponds to the second time.

5. The computing system of claim 2 , wherein the second selection is represented by a box depicted in the second graph.

6. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the first graph comprises a time-series graph.

7. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the second graph comprises a scatterplot.

8. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the program instructions further cause the user interface module of the computing system to, for each time increment in the first time period, retrieve one of the second data values corresponding to the respective time increment and one of the third data values corresponding to the respective time increment.

9. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the first data values, the second data values, and the third data values are measured by different sensors associated with a system.

10. A computer-implemented method comprising:
generating user interface data for rendering an interactive user interface on a computing device, the interactive user interface including a first graph, wherein the first graph includes first data values corresponding to a first type of parameter over a first time period;
receiving an identification of a selection of a first data point in the first graph and a second data point in the first graph, wherein the first data point represents a beginning of a first time period and the second data point represents an end of the first time period; and
in response to the selection of the first data point and the second data point:
updating the user interface data such that the interactive user interface includes a second graph that plots second data values corresponding to a second type of parameter against third data values corresponding to a third type of parameter, wherein the second data values and the third data values correspond to times within the first time period, wherein the second type of parameter is different than the first type of parameter and the third type of parameter, and wherein the third type of parameter is different than the first type of parameter and the second type of parameter.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising receiving an identification of a second selection in the second graph of a combination of one of the second data values and one of the third data values.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining that the combination of the one of the second data values and the one of the third data values occurred at a second time inside the first time period and at a third time outside the first time period; and
updating the updated user interface data such that the interactive user interface includes a first marker depicted in the first graph outside markers designating the first time period, wherein the first marker corresponds to the third time.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising updating the second updated user interface data such that the interactive user interface includes a second marker depicted in the second graph inside the markers designating the first time period, wherein the second marker corresponds to the second time.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the first graph comprises a time-series graph, and wherein the second graph comprises a scatterplot.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising, for each time increment in the first time period, retrieving one of the second data values corresponding to the respective time increment and one of the third data values corresponding to the respective time increment.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more program instructions recorded thereon, the instructions configured for execution by a computing system comprising one or more processors in order to cause the computing system to:
generate user interface data for rendering an interactive user interface on a computing device, the interactive user interface including a first graph, wherein the first graph includes first data values corresponding to a first type of parameter over a first time period;
receive an identification of a selection of a first data point in the first graph and a second data point in the first graph, wherein the first data point represents a beginning of a first time period and the second data point represents an end of the first time period; and
in response to the selection of the first data point and the second data point:
update the user interface data such that the interactive user interface includes a second graph that plots second data values corresponding to a second type of parameter against third data values corresponding to a third type of parameter, wherein the second data values and the third data values correspond to times within the first time period, wherein the sec
