Abstract

A system and method for graphically organizing information. A representation of an item to which the information relates is provided, and one or more points are superimposed on the representation to indicate areas of the item that correspond to the information. The points correspond to coordinates within a reference frame that is used to delineate positions on the representation.

Claims

1. A system for graphically organizing information, comprising:

a representation of an item to which the information is related; and

one or more points superimposed on said representation of said item to indicate areas of said item that correspond to the information;

whereby said points correspond to coordinates within a reference frame that is used to delineate positions on said representation of said item.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein said item is a human body.

3. The system according to claim 1, further comprising supporting icons that may be selected to obtain further information about said item.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the position(s) of said point(s) are used to identify said item from among a plurality of similar items.

5. The system according to claim 4, wherein said item is a person and said points are used to identify said person among a plurality of persons.

6. A method for graphically organizing information, comprising the steps of:

providing a representation of an item to which the information is related; and

superimposing one or more points on said representation of said item to indicate areas of said item that correspond to the information;

whereby said points correspond to coordinates within a reference frame that is used to delineate positions on said representation of said item.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein said item is a human body.

8. The method according to claim 6, further comprising the step of providing supporting icons that may be selected to obtain further information about said item.

9. The method according to claim 6, wherein the position(s) of said point(s) are used to identify said item from among a plurality of similar items.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein said item is a person and said points are used to identify said person among a plurality of persons.

11. A recording medium storing a computer program for use in graphically organizing information, the computer program comprising the steps of:

providing a representation of an item to which the information is related; and

superimposing one or more points on said representation of said item to indicate areas of said item that correspond to the information;

whereby said points correspond to coordinates within a reference frame that is used to delineate positions on said representation of said item.

12. The medium according to claim 11, wherein said item is a human body.

13. The medium according to claim 11, wherein the computer program further comprises the step of providing supporting icons that may be selected to obtain further information about said item.

14. The medium according to claim 11, wherein the position(s) of said point(s) are used to identify said item from among a plurality of similar items.

15. The medium according to claim 14, wherein said item is a person and said points are used to identify said person among a plurality of persons.
