Method of computerized presentation of a legend of object symbols on a document
First Claim
1. A method of computerized presentation of a legend of object symbols on a design document, the method comprising:
- receiving, at one or more computing devices, a design document having a plurality of object symbols, each object symbol of the plurality of object symbols comprising a graphical representation, and an object symbol type defining a trade;
generating, at the one or more computing devices, one or more groups of object symbols of the plurality of object symbols based upon the object symbol type of each of the object symbols, wherein the object symbols in each group are associated with the same object symbol type;
generating, at the one or more computing devices, a first legend including one or more first legend entries, wherein each first legend entry is associated with a corresponding group of the one or more groups of object symbols and includes i)a group type symbol indicative of a task and ii) a description of the trade defined by the object symbol type associated with the corresponding group;
generating, at the one or more computing devices, a second legend in response to receiving user selection of a first object symbol type, the second legend being separate from the first legend and the first object symbol type defining a trade;
generating, at the one or more computing devices, one or more second legend entries in the second legend in response to receiving user selection of one or more object symbols that are associated with the design document and correspond to the first object symbol type; and
displaying, at the one or more computing devices, the first legend and the second legend on the design document.

Abstract
A method of computerized presentation of a legend of object symbols on a document. The method includes receiving a document having object symbols. Each object symbol includes a graphical representation, an object symbol type and an object type numerical value. The method includes generating one or more groups of object symbols of the one or more object symbols based upon the object symbol type of each of the object symbols. The method includes deriving a group cumulative quantity for each group of object symbols based upon the object type numerical value of each object symbol in each group of object symbols. The method includes generating a legend including a one or more legend entries corresponding to each of the one or more groups of object symbols. Each legend entry includes a group type symbol, the object symbol type, and a group cumulative quantity. The method includes displaying the legend.
