Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Architecture that integrates the benefits of natural user interaction such as freeform sketch with computer-aided charting. The architecture integrates natural user interaction utilizing multiple modalities (e.g., sketch, multi-touch, etc.) with computer supported data analysis that allows users to explore data by drawing charts using simple strokes. Natural user interactions can be utilized to change chart types by drawing symbols, transform data by applying functions, filter data by drawing strikethrough on legends, etc. Additionally, the architecture makes an inference of visualizations the user intended from user-drawn strokes, such as the axes of a graph, the words of a label, etc. When appropriate, the architecture automatically completes visualizations.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An interactive system, comprising: a digital interactive component that receives user interaction; a computation component that interprets the user interaction as related to a graph or chart, manages an annotation associated with the graph or chart, and performs an operation on user data based on the user interaction, to create a graphical view of the user data, wherein when user interaction is received that changes a style of the graph or chart, the user…
