Geographic management system
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a graphical interface to provide a geographical representation of a network that comprises a data viewer comprising a map viewer, a graph viewer, and a time series viewer and that is executable by the processor to;
receive a search criteria for an area;
obtain attributes for the network based on the search criteria;
in response to receiving selection of the map viewer, display a network element for the network in geographic relation to another network element and to a geographic element;
in response to receiving selection of the graph viewer,providing a graph area to display graphs for different attributes, a data granularity selector, a graph type selector, a time period selector, and an attributes selector;
receive selection of at least one performance element corresponding to the network element;
receive selection of a first performance attribute and a second performance attribute for the at least one performance element with the attributes selector;
receive selection of a data granularity with the data granularity selector, wherein the data granularity is any of hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly;
receive selection of a graph type with the graph type selector from any of a bar graph and a three-dimensional graph;
receive selection of a time period using the time period selector;
display first graphical data corresponding to a graph in the graph area, wherein the first graphical data is generated for the first attribute data based on the data granularity, the graph type, and the timer period;
display second graphical data corresponding to the graph in the graph area, wherein the second graphical data is generated for the second attribute data based on the data granularity, the graph type, and the time period;
in response to selection of a less time icon, decrease the graph by a time unit;
in response to selection of a more time icon, increase the graph by the time unit;
change the time period in response to receiving any one of an update to a calendar and movement of the graph, wherein the changed time period is proportional to an amount of any movement; and
regenerate the first graphical data and the second graphical data to correspond to the changed time period; and
in response to receiving selection of the time series viewer, play time sequenced maps that depict a change in data from a starting time through an ending time for the at least one performance element in geographic relation to other performance elements, wherein the time series viewer includes time series controls for controlling a speed of play.

Abstract
A geographic management system (GMS) comprises a web server, a database server, and a map server. A user browser connected to the GMS transmits a search criteria to the web server. The web server transmits the search criteria to the map server. The map server geocodes the search criteria, obtains network data and geospatial data from the database server corresponding to the geocode, and transmits the geocode, the network data, and the geospatial data to the web server. The web server transmits the geocode, the network data, and the geospatial data to the user browser. The network data and the geospatial data are displayed on the user browser as a map displaying network elements of a telecommunication network relative to other network elements, geographic elements, and customers. One or more of the network elements have associated performance elements or sectored performance elements that display performance characteristics or sectored performance characteristics that signify performance attributes associated with the network element. The user browser can navigate through other network data and geospatial data by selecting network elements on the map or by selecting navigation tools or navigation tabs displayed in conjunction with the map.
