Application: Analysis of spreadsheet table in response to user input (Patent ID: US20240104297A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft proposes a solution for analyzing data tables based on user inputs. The method involves determining user inputs in specific cells of the data table, identifying analysis operations based on the semantics of the data table and user input, and presenting the results of these operations in related regions of the table. By leveraging the grid characteristics of the data table, the solution aims to provide a user-friendly and efficient data analysis experience.
The claims associated with the patent outline a computer-implemented method for performing these actions, including determining correlated columns, updating analysis results based on user inputs, and presenting results in specific regions of the data table. The patent also covers an electronic device and a computer program product that execute the method described, emphasizing the importance of semantics and user inputs in driving data analysis operations within the context of a data table.
