Method for Analyzing a Process of a Communication Taking Place Between at Least Two Instances
First Claim
1. A method for analyzing a process of a communication taking place between at least two instances, wherein the communication process comprises a sequence of several calls, which in turn comprise at least one message and wherein a first plurality of messages forms a first procedure and a second plurality of messages forms a second procedure comprising:
- representing the first plurality of messages by a first symbol and the second plurality of messages is represented by a second symbol so that one procedure is in each case represented by a single symbol; and
displaying the communication process on a display unit using the first symbol and the second symbol.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for analyzing a process of a communication taking place between at least two instances, wherein the communication process comprises a sequence of several calls, which in turn comprise at least one message, wherein the communication process is represented on a display unit by symbols, and wherein a first plurality of messages forms a first procedure and a second plurality of messages forms a second procedure, and the first plurality of messages is represented by a first symbol and the second plurality of messages is represented by a second symbol, so that one procedure each is represented by a single symbol. Embodiments of the invention also relate to protocol testers for performing the method.

12. A method for analyzing a process of a communication taking place between at least two instances, wherein the communication process comprises a sequence of several calls, which in turn comprise at least one message, and wherein a first procedure comprises at least one first message and a second procedure comprises at least one second message and the occurrence of the first message is correlated with a successful or unsuccessful completion of the first procedure, and the occurrence of the second message is correlated with a successful or unsuccessful completion of the second procedure comprising:
-
representing at least one message on a display unit by a symbol, and to each symbol assigning an optical feature, according to a default setting; displaying according to the default setting a first optical feature assigned to the symbols of the first and of the second message for a successful completion of the respective associated procedure, and a second optical feature assigned for an unsuccessful completion of the respective associated procedure. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
