System and method for data visualization using a synchronous display of sequential time data and on-map planning
First Claim
1. A system for coordinating display of synchronized spatial information and time-variant information on a visual interface as a visual representation of a multi-dimensional planned process, the system comprising:
- a data store configured for storing the time-variant information, the data store further configured for storing the spatial information as a plurality of data elements for representing visual elements for display in the visual representation with respect to a reference surface, each of the visual elements operatively coupled to at least one sequenced element of a plurality of sequenced elements; and
a synchronization module coupled to the data store and configured for synchronizing a displayed state on the visual interface of the spatial information with a displayed state on the visual interface of the time-variant information, the time-variant information including timeline data including at least two of the plurality of sequenced elements having overlapping time spans with respect to a common temporal reference frame and including a marker for facilitating navigation of the plurality of sequenced elements with respect to the common temporal reference frame;
wherein changes in the displayed state of the time-variant information are reflected in changes to the displayed state of the spatial information.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for coordinating display of synchronized spatial information and time-variant information on a visual interface as a visual representation of a multi-dimensional planned process. The system and method comprise a data store configured for storing the time-variant information, such that the data store is further configured for storing the spatial information as a plurality of data elements for representing visual elements for display in the visual representation with respect to a reference surface. Each of the visual elements is operatively coupled to at least one sequenced element of a plurality of sequenced elements. The system and method also include a synchronization module coupled to the data store and is configured for synchronizing a displayed state on the visual interface of the spatial information with a displayed state on the visual interface of the time-variant information. The time-variant information includes timeline data including at least two of the plurality of sequenced elements having overlapping time spans with respect to a common temporal reference frame, and includes a marker for facilitating navigation of the plurality of sequenced elements with respect to the common temporal reference frame. Changes in the displayed state of the time-variant information are reflected in changes to the displayed state of the spatial information.
