The intermediary data may change in response to the interaction. As an example of the interaction, if a gesture is provided to zoom in a portion of the chart from the user, the intermediary data may be scaled to match the range determined from the gesture. Changes to the parametric data can be reflected in the chart through updates to the chart.

In addition, the device in which the interaction is recognized may be hardware including a camera, a microphone, a touch drive screen, a keyboard, a mouse and the like.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, when any one of the charts in the dashboard implemented in the online environment is changed, all of the charts in the dashboard are changed in fluid by changing together to a part of the relevant chart, Chart-based manipulation allows users to fluidly compare and correlate various charts without accessing data.

Referring to FIG. 2, Chart 1 111, Chart 2 112, and Chart 3 113 in the dashboard 110 may be associated with the same variable on the intermediary data set 210, which may be associated with FIG. 2. It may be the same set of variables (211) as in.

In this case, for example, if Chart 1 111 is an independent chart and is initially given an interaction, and the interaction is related to the variable set 211, Chart 2 112 and Chart 3 linked to the variable set 211 are provided. 113 may be selected as a dependent chart to which the interaction may be applied.

Furthermore, the interaction may be reflected in the selected dependent chart. In this process, interaction may be given to only some of the selected dependent charts through user feedback.

In this way, the user can give an interaction only to the independent chart without accessing the variable set 211 on the parameter data set 210, thereby easily giving the same or scaled interaction to the charts linked with the variable set 211. Can be.

In this case, for example, when chart 1 121 becomes an independent chart and receives an interaction for the first time, the variable set 223 and the variable set 223 having an independent-dependent relationship with the variable set 222 are independent-dependent. The variable set 224 in the parameterized parameter can be selected as the subordinate charts 2 (122) and 3 (123).

In this way, the user is allowed to interact only with the independent charts without accessing the variable sets 222, 223, 224 on the intermediary data set 220, thereby interworking with the variable sets 222, 223, 224 in the independent-dependent relationship. The same or scaled interaction can be easily given to charts.

Referring to FIG. 4, each of Chart 1 131, Chart 2 132, and Chart 3 133 in Dashboard 130 may be associated with variables on

parameter datasets

variable set

311, 321, 331 as shown in FIG. 4, and these

variable sets

311, 321, 331 may have the same field type.

variable sets

321 and 331 can be selected as the dependent chart.
