Abstract

Graphical user interfaces, methods and systems that enable the selection and grouping of data.

Claims

1. A user interface for depicting on a display device, the user interface comprising:

a plurality of summaries of data corresponding to a network communication session, each summary of data from the plurality of summaries of data being depicted as identifying characteristics and a graphical report;

a component capable of selecting one summary of data from the plurality of summaries of data;

another component capable of selecting a plurality of events corresponding to said selected one summary of data; and

an icon representing a portion of said graphical report corresponding to said selected plurality of events;

said selected one summary of data being depicted as identifying characteristics, said icon and a graphical report reporting another plurality of events corresponding to said selected one summary of data.

2. The user interface of claim 1 wherein said icon enables displaying said plurality of selected events.

3. The user interface of claim 1 wherein said component capable of selecting one summary of data comprises a component capable of selecting said one summary of data according to a predetermined criterion.

4. The user interface of claim 1 wherein said component capable of selecting said one summary of data comprises a component enabling a user to select said one summary of data.

5. A computing device and associated display device, the computing device being programmed to implement the user interface of claim 1.

6. A computer readable medium having computer executable code embodied therein, said computer executable code being capable of causing a computer to implement the user interface of claim 1.

7. The computer readable medium of claim 5 where in said computer executable code is also capable of causing the computer to:

select said one summary of data according to a predetermined criterion.

8. The computer readable medium of claim 5 where in said computer executable code is also capable of causing the computer to:

select said one summary of data according to user input.

9. A method for displaying acquired signaling messages, the method comprising the steps of:

selecting one summary of data from a plurality of summaries of data corresponding to a network communication session;

selecting a plurality of events corresponding to said selected one summary of data;

representing a graphical report corresponding to said plurality of selected events by an icon; and

depicting said selected one summary of data as identifying characteristics, said icon and a graphical report reporting another plurality of events corresponding to said selected one summary of data.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the step of selecting said one summary of data comprises a step of selecting said one summary of data according to a predetermined criterion.

11. The method of claim 9 wherein the step of selecting said one summary of data comprises a step of selecting said one summary of data according to user input.

12. The method of claim 9 further comprising the step of displaying, upon selecting the icon, said plurality of selected events.

13. A system for analyzing and displaying acquired signaling messages, the system comprising:

at least one processor;

a display device;

at least one computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied there in, said computer readable code being capable of causing said at least one processor to;

provide a user interface for depiction in the display device, the user interface comprising;

a component capable of selecting one summary of data from a plurality of summaries of data corresponding to a network communication session;

a component capable of selecting a plurality of events corresponding to said selected one summary of data; and

an icon representing a graphical report corresponding to said plurality of selected events;

display said selected one summary of data as identifying characteristics, said icon and a graphical report reporting another plurality of events corresponding to said selected one summary of data.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein said component capable of selecting one summary of data comprises a component capable of selecting said one summary of data according to a predetermined criterion.

15. The system of claim 13 wherein said component capable of selecting one summary of data comprises a component capable of selecting said one summary of data according to user input.

16. The system of claim 13 wherein said icon enables displaying said plurality of selected events.
