Multi-layer path explorer
United States Patent No. 7,124,369, October 17, 2006
Canadian Patents Database, patent No. CA 2423507

The invention provides an improved method of exploring paths having multiple layers. Such paths may be through any of a number of types of networks, such as transportation networks, distribution networks, business structure networks, or telecommunication networks. The method initially displays in a path explorer view, the nodes and links of a first layer of the path in a linear configuration. Upon selection/deselection of a layer expander icon located near the first layer node at which the path traverses to the second layer, the method expands/collapses the second layer of nodes and links in a linear configuration which is parallel to, but offset from the first layer. The method further contemplates the display of a topology view which, in conjunction with the path explorer view, graphically displays a structure of a selected layer of the path, with the path visually distinguished therein.
 


Method and system for visually representing network configurations
United States Patent No. 6,941,359, September 6, 2005

A visualization method for a hub network configuration allows exploration of a chosen network by way of a graphical display interface (GUI), wherein multiple distinct network segments such as lines or rings are shown attached to a common node or centralized hub. The technique combines a graphical view of the segments controlled by a segment selector. The selector is coupled to a series of display indicators and a list of the attached rings contained in the network. The list can contain descriptive elements of the segments, or can provide links to such detail. A mutually exclusive selection of the attached segments is enabled using either the selector or the list of attached segments. For each segment selected, the display indicators can show the currently displayed segments on the GUI, help to highlight on the GUI a selected attached segment and provide an indication of attached segments that are related in function to the selected segment. Selected and remaining segments of the network are displayed in various shadings or colours, which enables a Network Manager or other user of the system and method to easily distinguish and consider these aspects alternatively. In the graphical view, attached segments can be displayed in stacked, overlaid, or isolated formats. The segments can consist of rings, lines, stars, bars, and chains.
 


Method of displaying nodes and links
United States Patent No. 6,854,091, February 8, 2005

The present invention relates to an improved method of displaying nodes, and links between nodes. Instead of the conventional method of displaying nodes and links as points and lines respectively, in accordance with the present invention, the nodes are each represented by parallel node lines. The links are then represented by link lines drawn perpendicular to the node lines, each of said link lines terminating at the node lines representing the nodes connected by the link represented by the link line. A graphical user interface incorporating this improved method of displaying nodes and links is also contemplated.
 


Multi-panel route monitoring graphical user interface, system and method
United States Patent No. 6,654,803, Nov. 25, 2003
Canadian Patents Database, patent No.CA 2341757

The present invention relates to a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying historical and current performance information for a route in a communications network, the route having several paths between two end points. Performance data from the network is collected and processed to generate route and path performance data. The processed data is stored in a database. The GUI is embodied in a network management device which draws upon information stored in the database. In a preferred embodiment, the GUI displays a route panel showing the structure of the route, a timebar showing the time period for which information is displayed, a paths panel showing information about each path in a tabular format, a selected paths panel showing information about selected paths in a tabular format, and a performance panel showing performance data in a graph.
 





CHEOPS

CHEOPS est une technique de visualisation de données hiérarchiques. Cette technique combine un procédé de représentation basé sur une extension des principes de la mosaïque des triangles et un ensemble de règles déterminant les relations logiques abstraites entre les éléments. La réutilisation des composantes visuelles dans CHEOPS permet de représenter en peu d'espace de très grandes hiérarchies au moyen d'un nombre restreint de composantes visuelles. Et, grâce à des outils de navigation de grande puissance, CHEOPS permet d'explorer efficacement des ensembles très vastes, tels que ceux basés sur le système décimal Dewey, qui définit plus d'un milliard de noeuds.

CHEOPS is an experimental visualization technique for hierarchical data. This technique combines a representation process based on triangle tesselation principles and a set of rules determining the underlying abstract logical relations among the elements. The reuse of visual components in CHEOPS allows for the display of very large hierarchies in a small amount of space, with a relatively small number of visual components. In addition, through its powerful navigation tools, CHEOPS allows users to efficiently explore huge data sets such as the Dewey decimal system, which has over a billion nodes.
