Patent ID: 7941742

Claim:
A method of visualizing growing time series data, comprising: presenting, by a computer for display in a single view, first data values of a time series, wherein the data values are for display in a first arrangement of cells arranged according to a first density in the view; receiving, by the computer, additional data values of the time series in addition to the first data values; modifying, by the computer, a density of the view in response to receiving the additional data values; presenting, by the computer, the first data values and additional data values for display in a second arrangement of cells arranged according to the modified density in the view; continually receiving further data values of the time series; continually modifying the density of the view in response to continually receiving the further data values for displaying the first, additional, and further data values; grouping data records represented by corresponding cells into larger time intervals in response to the view reaching a predetermined density threshold; and aggregating corresponding data values of the grouped data records.
