Technique for monitoring technical equipment
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring technical equipment, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a plurality of event inputs from one or more event status reporting units, wherein each event input of the plurality of event inputs belongs to one of a plurality of predefined event categories;
segregating, by the processor, a time period into an ordered sequence of time slots, wherein the time period represents a time duration within which the plurality of event inputs were received;
categorizing, by the processor, each event input of the plurality of event inputs according to a time slot within which the event input was received and according to a predefined event category of the plurality of predefined event categories to which the event input belongs;
assigning, by the processor, a rank to each predefined event category of the plurality of predefined event categories within each of the ordered sequence of time slots, wherein the rank of a selected predefined event category within a selected time slot is based on a weight of unique event inputs, the unique event inputs being categorized for the selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot;
defining, by the processor, a count of symbols to be displayed for each of the time slots, wherein each symbol represents a unique predefined event category, and wherein the count of the symbols is same for all the time slots;
displaying, on a display unit, the ordered sequence of time slots; and
displaying, on the display unit, for each of the ordered sequence of time slots, the defined count of symbols ordered according to the ranks of the respective predefined event categories represented by the symbols,wherein each symbol includes an indication of the weight of unique event inputs categorized for the selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot.

Abstract
Event inputs, each belonging to one of predefined event categories, are received from event status reporting units. A time period, a time duration within which the event inputs were received, is segregated into an ordered sequence of time slots. Inputs are categorized according to the time slots and the event categories. Ranks, based on weights of unique event inputs, are assigned to each of the predefined event categories within each of the time slots. A count of symbols for each time slot is defined. Each symbol represents a unique predefined event category. The time slots and the defined count of symbols ordered according to the ranks of the respective predefined event categories represented by the symbols for each of the time slots are displayed. Each symbol includes an indication of the weight of unique event inputs categorized for the selected predefined event category and for the selected time slot.
