Generating new charts based on source and destination chart data
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11983804B1) discloses a computer-implemented method for generating a new chart based on a source chart and a destination chart. The method involves accessing data from both charts, determining the color differential between the two sets of data, and generating new chart colors to accommodate the variance. The new chart is then created to include the source chart data series, with each series associated with either a destination chart color or a newly generated color. The method allows for seamless integration of data from different charts while maintaining visual consistency.
Furthermore, the patent details variations in generating new chart colors based on the destination chart colors, including brightness and luminance variants. The method also considers the chart types associated with the source and destination charts, ensuring that the new chart aligns with the display characteristics of the destination chart type. User inputs for selecting source and destination charts are accommodated, and the system can automatically determine the charts if needed. The patent covers a computer processing system and non-transitory storage media storing instructions for executing the method, emphasizing the technical implementation of the innovative chart generation process.
