GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE USING PERCEPTION-ACTION ICONS AND A METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A graphical user interface for use as a near-real time resource deployment decision analysis tool on a computer provided with data corresponding to information about external resources, said graphical user interface comprising at least one perception action icon having a plurality of visual objects organizing the data into resource categories enabling instant comparison thereof and providing analog, digital, and categorical representations of status of the external resources within each of said resource categories based on the data, each one of said visual objects being configured to provide a visual change when a corresponding one of said resource categories changes said status at least from an update to the data.

Abstract
The present invention provides a computerized near-real time resource deployment decision analysis tool providing a graphical user interface using perception-action icons that enables instant comparison of various resource parameters as well as progress according to plan, and a method thereof. The graphical user interface and method thereof provides an effective interface design strategy for both law-driven (e.g., process control) and intent-driven (e.g., information retrieval) domains using perception-action icons. Results unequivocally indicate that a graphical user interface with perception-action icons produced significantly better performance over prior art methods.
