Data analytics application with interactive tools for processing data files

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11822566B2) discloses a computer-implemented method that involves receiving an analytics workflow comprising a sequence of tools, each tool adapted to perform a data analytics function, with interactive elements associated with specific tools to receive user inputs for modifying operations. The method includes processing a data file using the sequence of tools to generate a first result item, storing metadata files for each tool, and allowing user inputs to modify tool operations. By retrieving metadata files based on user inputs, a subset of tools is used to generate a second result item, re-using stored data to perform modified operations on the data file. The patent also covers scenarios where additional interactive elements are associated with tools, storing separate metadata files in caches, and identifying specific tools and caches based on user inputs and tool sequences.

Furthermore, the patent extends to a computer-readable memory storing executable program instructions and a computer system with a processor and memory to execute operations similar to the computer-implemented method. The system allows for the processing of data files, modification of tool operations based on user inputs through interactive elements, and generation of result items using subsets of tools and stored metadata. It also covers scenarios involving multiple interactive elements, separate caches for metadata files, and identification of tool sequences and branches based on user interactions. The system enables efficient data analytics workflows by re-using stored data and allowing user-driven modifications to tool operations, enhancing the overall data processing capabilities in a computer environment.
