Geographic management system
First Claim
1. A graph viewer for depicting attributes for a network, the graph viewer operable using a processor and configured for:
- enabling selection of a data granularity and a time period for which the attributes will be generated for display;
enabling selection of at least one performance element corresponding to a network element for the network, the at least one performance element having at least a first performance attribute and a second performance attribute;
generating first attribute data corresponding to first performance levels of the first performance attribute and second attribute data corresponding to second performance levels of the second performance attribute;
generating first graphical data corresponding to the first attribute data for the selected data granularity and time period to a graph, the first graphical data having a first scale identifying a first range for the first attribute data; and
generating second graphical data corresponding to the second attribute data for the selected data granularity and time period to the graph, the second graphical data having a second scale identifying a second range for the second attribute data.

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.

9. A viewer for generating graphical data for a network for viewing, the viewer using a processor and configured for:
-
enabling selection of a starting time and a stopping time for displaying the graphical data;
enabling selection of at least one attribute for at least one network element;
selecting attribute data corresponding to at least one performance level of the at least one network element for a selected starting time and a selected stopping time;
generating graphical data corresponding to the attribute data for display, the graphical data having at least one scale identifying a range for the attribute data;
enabling selection of displayed graphical data;
enabling movement of the displayed graphical data in a first direction and a second direction to change the starting time represented by the graphical data; and
regenerating the graphical data for display to correspond to a changed starting time;
wherein moving the graphical data in the first direction causes the starting time to move backward and moving the graphical data in the second direction causes the starting time period to move forward. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
