Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Unevenly spaced data records are received over time. A smoothed graphical visualization has a plurality of discrete rings to allow for detection of periodical patterns in the data records, where the discrete rings correspond to plural time periods and contain pixels representing values of an attribute of the data records. Visual indicators are assigned to the corresponding pixels, where a first of a visual indicators for a first time interval that is missing a data record is based on aggregating values of the attribute of neighboring data records, and where a second of the visual indicators for a second time interval having multiple data records is based on aggregating values of the attribute of the multiple data records.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: generating, by a system including a processor, a smoothed graphical visualization having discrete rings to allow for detection of periodical patterns in unevenly spaced data records over time, where the discrete rings at different locations along a radial axis represent respective plural different time periods, and the discrete rings contain pixels representing values of an attribute of the data records, wherein a first of the discrete r…
