Abstract

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

Claims

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

at least one line graph depicting data corresponding to a network communication session, the data being depicted as a function of an independent variable;

a component capable of selecting a communication event corresponding to a datum from the data; and

a component capable of displaying information identifying the corresponding communication event.

2. The user interface of claim 1 wherein the independent variable is a time variable.

3. The user interface of claim 2 wherein the corresponding information identifying the corresponding event are displayed on a timeline.

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

5. 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.

6. A method for displaying information on acquired signaling messages, the method comprising the steps of:

displaying information corresponding to communication events in a network communication session;

displaying at least one line graph depicting data corresponding to the network communication session, the data being depicted as a function of an independent variable;

obtaining a communication event corresponding to a datum from the data; and

displaying information identifying the corresponding communication event.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the independent variable is a time variable.

8. The method of claim 7 further comprising the step of:

displaying, on a timeline, the corresponding information identifying the corresponding event.

9. 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;

at least one line graph depicting data corresponding to a network communication session, the data being depicted as a function of an independent variable;

a component capable of obtaining a communication event corresponding to a datum from the data; and

a component capable of displaying information identifying the corresponding communication event,

display, using the display device and upon user input, the communication event corresponding to the datum from the data.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein said computer usable code is also capable of causing said at least one processor to:

display, using the display device, information corresponding to communication events in the network communication session.

11. The system of claim 9 wherein the independent variable is a time variable.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein said computer usable code is also capable of causing said at least one processor to:

display on a timeline the corresponding information identifying the corresponding event.
