Title: Frederick Edward Weber, III: Patent Contributions to Graph Diagram Layout

Introduction

Frederick Edward Weber, III, is an inventor associated with Seattle, Washington. His patent work includes methods for incrementally adding nodes to graph diagrams while preserving their spatial relationships. Weber is associated with Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC, and is credited with 3 patents.

Latest Patents

Weber’s latest listed patent is titled “Incremental Automatic Layout of Graph Diagram—Adding New Nodes to a Graph Diagram.” The invention describes identifying new nodes to add to an existing graph diagram and finding connected candidate nodes that can serve as anchors. After selecting an anchor, the system automatically lays out the anchor and the new nodes in a separate diagram. It then identifies the spatial offsets between the anchor and each new node and uses those offsets when adding the nodes to the existing diagram. This approach is designed to integrate new graph elements while maintaining their layout relationships.

Career Highlights

Weber’s listed patent portfolio includes three patents. His work on incremental graph-diagram layout addresses the challenge of expanding an existing diagram without discarding the spatial arrangement established for newly added nodes.

Collaborations

Weber is associated with Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC. His listed coworkers include Kevin David James Grealish and Yin Kei.

Conclusion

Frederick Edward Weber, III, is an inventor whose patent work includes a method for incrementally extending graph diagrams while preserving the spatial relationships among added nodes.
