Abstract

A data distribution system configured to receive market data from one or more market data sources, associated location data from one or more location data sources, and polygons from one or more polygon sources. The system may normalize the location data and the polygons such that a format of the normalized location data matches a format of the normalized polygons. Upon receiving, via an interactive graphical user interface (GUI), user input comprising a data request, the interactive GUI may determine that the data request comprises at least a portion of the normalized location data. The interactive GUI may augment the normalized location data with one or more normalized polygons, generate an augmented presentation package comprising the one or more normalized polygons, and display the augmented presentation package, such that the one or more normalized polygons are presented on an interactive map interface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a data distribution system comprising a processing device and a memory storing computer-readable instructions, market data and associated location data that is updated in real-time from one or more data feeds via a network, the location data having a plurality of formats;
receiving, by the data distribution system, polygons from one or more polygon sources, the polygons comprising location identifiers having a plurality of formats;
normalizing, by the data distribution system, the location data and the polygons to form normalized location data and normalized polygons, wherein the normalizing comprises converting the plurality of formats of the location data and the plurality of formats of the location identifiers into a single matching format;
storing, by the data distribution system, the market data and the normalized location data in one or more data caches;
storing, by the data distribution system, the normalized polygons in a database such that the normalized polygons are indexed by the location identifiers in the single matching format;
generating, by the data distribution system, an initial presentation package comprising a list of instruments among the market data;
transmitting, by the data distribution system, the initial presentation package to an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) comprising at least a watchlist in a first window and an interactive map interface in a second window, the first window and the second window displayed on a single screen;
displaying, by the interactive GUI, the initial presentation package in the first window, such that the list of instruments is shown in the watchlist;
receiving, by the interactive GUI, user input comprising a selection of one or more instruments from the list of instruments, dragging the one or more instruments across the single screen, and dropping the one or more instruments into the interactive map interface;
retrieving, by the data distribution system, the normalized location data of the one or more instruments from the one or more data caches;
searching, by the data distribution system, the database for indexed location identifiers corresponding to the normalized location data of the one or more instruments;
matching, by the data distribution system, the normalized location data of the one or more instruments with one or more normalized polygons among the stored normalized polygons based on the corresponding indexed location identifiers;
augmenting, by the interactive GUI, the normalized location data with the one or more normalized polygons;
generating, by the interactive GUI, an augmented presentation package comprising the one or more normalized polygons;
displaying, by the interactive GUI, the augmented presentation package in the second window, such that the one or more normalized polygons are presented on the interactive map interface; and
automatically updating, by the interactive GUI, the augmented presentation package in real-time based on real-time updates of one or more of the market data and the associated location data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more polygon sources are third party providers coupled to the data distribution system via the network.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polygons comprise latitude-longitude points that are rendered on the interactive map interface.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the polygons comprise one or more of dots, clusters, a series of connected dots, a series of separated dots, a line, a series of connected lines, a series of separated lines, shapes, and icons.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more data feeds comprise a single data source.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
updating, by the interactive GUI, the initial presentation package in real-time based on real-time updates of one or more of the market data and the associated location data.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the interactive GUI, user input comprising a selection of a normalized polygon of the one or more normalized polygons; and
displaying, by the interactive GUI, the market data associated with the normalized polygon as a pop-up window in the interactive map interface.

8. A data distribution system comprising:
a processing device operatively coupled to a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to:
receive market data and associated location data that is updated in real-time from one or more data feeds via a network, the location data having a plurality of formats;
receive polygons from one or more polygon sources, the polygons comprising location identifiers having a plurality of formats;
normalize the location data and the polygons to form normalized location data and normalized polygons, wherein the normalizing comprises converting the plurality of formats of the location data and the plurality of formats of the location identifiers into a single matching format;
store the market data and the normalized location data in one or more data caches;
store the normalized polygons in a database such that the normalized polygons are indexed by the location identifiers in the single matching format;
generate an initial presentation package comprising a list of instruments among the market data;
transmit the initial presentation package to an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) comprising at least a watchlist in a first window and an interactive map interface in a second window, the first window and the second window displayed on a single screen;
display, by the interactive GUI, the initial presentation package in the first window, such that the list of instruments is shown in the watchlist;
receive, by the interactive GUI, user input comprising a selection of one or more instruments from the list of instruments, dragging the one or more instruments across the single screen, and dropping the one or more instruments into the interactive map interface;
retrieve the normalized location data of the one or more instruments from the one or more data caches;
search the database for indexed location identifiers corresponding to the normalized location data of the one or more instruments;
match the normalized location data of the one or more instruments with one or more normalized polygons among the stored normalized polygons based on the corresponding indexed location identifiers;
augment, by the interactive GUI, the normalized location data with the one or more normalized polygons;
generate, by the interactive GUI, an augmented presentation package comprising the one or more normalized polygons;
display, by the interactive GUI, the augmented presentation package in the second window, such that the one or more normalized polygons are presented on the interactive map interface; and
automatically update, by the interactive GUI, the augmented presentation package in real-time based on real-time updates of one or more of the market data and the associated location data.

9. The data distribution system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more polygon sources are third party providers coupled to the data distribution system via the network.

10. The data distribution system of claim 8 , wherein the polygons comprise latitude-longitude points that can be rendered on the interactive map interface.

11. The data distribution system of claim 10 , wherein the polygons comprise one or more of dots, clusters, a series of connected dots, a series of separated dots, a line, a series of connected lines, a series of separated lines, shapes, and icons.
