Data Visualization Methods, Data Visualization Devices, Data Visualization Apparatuses, and Articles of Manufacture

Abstract

Data visualization methods, data visualization devices, data visualization apparatuses, and articles of manufacture are described according to some aspects. In one aspect, a data visualization method includes accessing a plurality of initial documents at a first moment in time, first processing the initial documents providing processed initial documents, first identifying a plurality of first associations of the initial documents using the processed initial documents, generating a first visualization depicting the first associations, accessing a plurality of additional documents at a second moment in time after the first moment in time, second processing the additional documents providing processed additional documents, second identifying a plurality of second associations of the additional documents and at least some of the initial documents, wherein the second identifying comprises identifying using the processed initial documents and the processed additional documents, and generating a second visualization depicting the second associations.

         15 . A data visualization apparatus comprising:
 a display configured to depict a plurality of visual images;   processing circuitry coupled with the display and configured to access a plurality of documents and to control the display to depict the images using information of the documents; and   wherein the processing circuitry is configured to control depiction of the images comprising information regarding a plurality of quantities of documents received by the data visualization apparatus at a plurality of different moments in time, and to control the depiction of at least a portion of at least one of the quantities of the documents distinguished from another quantity of the documents.   
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15  wherein the processing circuitry is configured to control the depiction of the images comprising information regarding publication of the quantities of documents at a plurality of different moments in time. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 15  wherein the processing circuitry is configured to identify the portion using time information of when the documents are received by the data visualization apparatus. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 17  wherein the processing circuitry is configured to identify the portion as corresponding to documents which were most recently received by the data visualization apparatus compared with reception of documents of the other quantities of the documents. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 17  wherein the processing circuitry is configured to identify the portion as corresponding to documents which have dates of reception greater than a threshold. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 17  wherein the processing circuitry is configured to identify the portion as corresponding to documents which have dates of reception less than a threshold. 
     
     
         21 . The apparatus of  claim 15  wherein the different moments in time comprise moments in time over a fixed length of time relative to present time. 
     
     
         22 . The apparatus of  claim 21  wherein the processing circuitry is configured to remove quantities of documents from the images responsive to the respective documents of the removed quantities of documents having a date of reception greater than a threshold relative to the present time.
