Abstract

The method is for analyzing and searching in a network. A first screen displays a plurality of business segments. Each business segment has sensor points representing subgroups. The conditions of each subgroup are determined by allocating a color to each subgroup. A radar line is swept across the business segments. Each subgroup lights up in the allocated color when the radar line extends across the subgroup. The display may also display a schematic tree structure for the business segments.

Claims

1-10. -10. (canceled)

11. A method of analyzing and searching in a network, comprising:

a screen displaying a plurality of business segments, each business segment having sensor points representing subgroups;

determining conditions of each subgroup by allocating a quality indicator to each subgroup;

sweeping a radar line across the business segments; and

each subgroup being lit up in the allocated quality indicator when the radar line extends across the subgroup.

12. The method according to claim 11 wherein the method further comprises the subgroup being lit up in red, yellow or green wherein red represents that a problem exists in the subgroup, yellow represents that a problem exists in the subgroup but that the problem is in the process of being solved and green represent that no problem exists in the subgroup.

13. The method according to claim 11 wherein the method further comprises rotating the radar line about a central point.

14. The method according to claim 11 wherein the method further comprises displaying each subgroup as a tree structure.

15. The method according to claim 11 wherein the method further comprises displaying each business segment in a green and red color to indicate a severity of an existing problem in the subgroup.

16. The method according to claim 14 wherein the method further comprises displaying the tree structure over the business segments of the screen so that branches and roots extend into the business segments.

17. The method according to claim 11 wherein the method further comprises providing the tree structure with branch and root ends so that each branch and root end represents a subgroup of the business segments.

18. The method according to claim 11 wherein the method further comprises displaying each subgroup of the business segments in a red and green color to indicate a condition of each subgroup.
