Method for generating user interface data and providing search guidance
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11768846B2) describes a method and system for generating user interface data and providing search guidance for a low-latency database analysis system. The method involves generating user interface data that includes a user input element, a data-analytics request construct card, and a data-analytics guidance portion. The data-analytics request construct card provides text describing the usage of a grammatical function with respect to a data-analytics grammar used by the low-latency database analysis system. The user interface data is then presented to the user.
After the user interface data is presented, the method involves receiving data-analytic request construct card data expressing usage intent with respect to the low-latency database analysis system. Based on this data, updated user interface data is generated, including an updated user input element and an updated data-analytics guidance portion. The updated user interface data is then presented to the user.
The method also includes generating resolved-request data in accordance with the data-analytic request construct card data and outputting a visualization representing results data obtained from the resolved-request data.
The patent also describes the inclusion of a second data-analytics request construct card in the user interface, which includes text describing the usage of a second data-analytics request construct card grammatical function. The presentation order of the data-analytics request construct card and the second data-analytics request construct card in the user interface is determined probabilistically using data-analytics request construct card determination data associated with the user.
The determination data includes various factors such as search result data, search result context data, request data for data logs, user profile data, underlying data distribution data, session data, and user feedback data. The method also allows for weighing certain determination data differently to generate a set of data-analytics request construct cards.
The data-analytics request construct cards in the user interface can include a data-analytics construct definition, an instructional video, at least one dropdown menu, and data-analytics construct completions. The method involves receiving data from user selections using the dropdown menu and data-analytics construct completions.
Overall, this patent presents a method and system for generating user interface data and providing search guidance for a low-latency database analysis system, allowing users to interact with the system more effectively and obtain desired results.
