Graphical user interface for displaying graph data entries

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11908050B2) describes a system implementing a graphical user interface (GUI) for display on a user device's screen. The GUI is designed to be displayed in a window on the screen and includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame contains graph visual elements representing graph data entries from a continuous subset, with the elements changing in response to user interactions like zooming or scrolling. The second frame displays entry components of a selected graph data entry, each labeled with quantitative values that are combined to calculate the entry's overall value. The system is part of an online bookkeeping service and can handle time series data, such as income and expenditure per time period, by summing transaction values based on predefined time periods.
The patent also covers the system's ability to respond to user interactions like zooming or scrolling by adjusting the granularity of the displayed data elements. It allows for progressive resizing of elements during transitions and can be used on mobile devices with touchscreens. The system comprises a server computing apparatus and a user device, with the server storing the application and serving it to the user device. Additionally, a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program with processing instructions is provided, enabling the display of the GUI on a computing apparatus. Overall, the patented system offers a sophisticated graphical interface for displaying and interacting with complex data sets, particularly suited for financial and bookkeeping applications, with a focus on user-friendly navigation and visualization of data subsets.
