System for displaying network equipment graphically and hierarchically, for use in a communication network management system
First Claim
1. A system (D) for managing the display of images representing network equipments (NE) of a communication network, said system including elements associated with hierarchical levels, and said system being characterized in that each equipment element is associated with a set of primary data stored in a memory (MM) which represents it within the level to which it belongs with no specific attachment to a level higher than itself and/or at least one set of secondary data stored in said memory (MM) which represents it within the level to which it belongs when it is attached to a level higher than or equal to its own, and in that it includes management means (GM) adapted, in the event of receiving a request designating a chosen level of a network equipment (NE) with or without attachment, to access said sets of primary and secondary data in order to extract from the memory the sets of primary or secondary data of the elements of the equipment that belong to said designated level and to levels lower than it, according to whether said level is designated with or without attachment.

Abstract
A system (D) is dedicated to managing the display of images representing network equipments (NE) of a communication network. The equipments (NE) include elements associated with hierarchical levels, and each element is associated with a set of primary data which represents it within the level to which it belongs with no specific attachment to a level higher than its own and/or at least one set of secondary data which represents it within the level to which it belongs when it is attached to a level higher than or equal to its own. The system (D) includes management means (GM) adapted, in the event of receiving a request designating a chosen level of an equipment with or without attachment, to access the memory in which the sets of primary and secondary data are stored in order to extract therefrom the sets of primary or secondary data of the elements of the equipment that belong to the designated level and to levels lower than it, according to whether said level is designated with or without attachment.
