DISPLAYING FACTS ON A LINEAR GRAPH
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for presenting facts on a linear graph, comprising:
- storing a set of objects in a memory of a computer, each object having a set of two or more facts, each fact having an attribute and a corresponding value;
identifying a fact of an object in the set having a position in a linear order;
identifying facts of other objects in the set having positions in the linear order; and
presenting, on a display of the computer, a linear graph displaying the facts in the linear order.

Abstract
A set of objects having facts is established. Facts of objects having positions in a order are identified. Some facts explicitly describe the positions in the linear order, while are facts do not explicitly describe the positions. The facts are presented in the order on a linear graph, such as a timeline. Facts of the objects describing geographic positions are presented on a map.
