Method and system of displaying telecommunication trace diagnostic information
First Claim
1. A system for displaying telecommunication trace diagnostic information in a graphical user interface, comprising:
- an integrated trace analysis (iTAS) application, said iTAS application providing trace analysis services having an encoding and decoding sub-system using a catalog definition language (CDL);
a web server hosting said iTAS application on a web site;
wherein said web site provides a browser based graphical user interface enabling the browser to request one or more functions to be performed by said iTAS application service, each said requested function having results displayed in said graphical user interface, and wherein for each requested function partial results are displayed with regular updating until the complete results are provided; and
wherein said graphical user interface provides for a plurality of concurrently pending functions.

Abstract
A display format for a distributed system and method using a catalog definition language (CDL) based integrated trace analysis (iTAS) application for decoding telecommunication tracer information originating from any telecommunication network element and utilizing any industry standard or proprietary telecommunication protocol. User input to iTAS is provided using the appropriate form or forms on a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI). The display format of the browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) uses a common display page having three panes in which to display a tree view of trace events, a view of the decoded trace data, and a view of the original trace. For each original trace request partial results are displayed in the tree view and the decoded trace data, with regular updating until complete results are provided. The display provides for a plurality of concurrently pending original trace requests. The view within all three panes can be synchronized based on the selection of an event from the tree view pane. Further, any pane can be collapsed if required. Additional panes on the common display page are provided for controlling the display, searching and filtering the contents of the three panes, and displaying the progress of decoding.

2. A method for displaying telecommunication trace diagnostic information in a graphical user interface, said diagnostic information being based on a catalog definition language to effect decoding, comprising the steps of:
-
using an Internet browser for connecting to a web site on a web server hosting an integrated trace analysis (iTAS) application, said iTAS application at said web site providing trace analysis services having an encoding and decoding sub-system using a catalog definition language (CDL);
selecting said iTAS application from said web site;
requesting one or more functions to be performed by the iTAS application service;
for each requested function displaying the result of the iTAS service requested in a browser based graphical user interface;
wherein for each requested function partial results are displayed with regular updating until the complete results are provided; and
wherein said graphical user interface provides for a plurality of concurrently pending functions.

3. A display for an integrated trace analysis system tool that is based on the use of a catalog definition language to effect decoding, comprising:
-
a first display pane for showing a tree view of a plurality of trace events responsive to one or more original traces;
a second display pane for showing decoded trace data for trace events selected in said tree view pane;
a third display pane for showing a view of said original traces, wherein for each original trace request partial results are displayed in said first and second display panes with regular updating until complete results are provided; and
wherein said display provides for a plurality of concurrently pending original trace requests. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
