SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A DYNAMIC USER INTERFACE FOR A DENSE THREE-DIMENSIONAL SCENE WITH A NAVIGATION ASSISTANCE PANEL
First Claim
1. A system for providing a dynamic user interface for a dense three-dimensional scene with a navigation assistance panel, comprising:
- a database to store a three-dimensional scene to logically hold clusters of semantically scored documents, each cluster comprising one or more concepts extracted from the documents and arranged proximal to each other such cluster to form a cluster spine;
a two-dimensional display to display each cluster spine projected relative to a stationary perspective; and
a user interface provided by a heads-up display generator, comprising;
controls to operate on a view of the cluster spines in the two-dimensional display;
a plurality of compasses configured to frame the cluster spines within the two-dimensional display, wherein the compasses operate independently of each other in response to user input to the controls;
a label to identify one such concept in one or more of the cluster spines appearing within at least one of the compasses;
a plurality of slots in the two-dimensional display positioned circumferentially around the compasses, wherein each label is assigned to the slot outside of the compasses for the cluster spine having a closest angularity to the slot; and
a navigation assistance panel to provide a perspective-altered rendition of the two-dimensional display.

Abstract
A system and method for providing a dynamic user interface for a dense three-dimensional scene with a navigation assistance panel is presented. Clusters of semantically scored documents are placed in a three-dimensional scene and are arranged as a cluster spine. Each cluster spine is projected into a two-dimensional display. Controls operating on the cluster spines in the display are presented in a user interface. Compasses framing the cluster spines within the display are provided. A label to identify one concept in one or more of the cluster spines appearing within at least one of the compasses is generated. A plurality of slots in the display positioned circumferentially around the compasses are defined. Each label is assigned to the slot outside of the compass for the cluster spine having a closest angularity to the slot. A perspective-altered rendition of the two-dimensional display is provided by a navigation assistant panel.

7. A method for providing a dynamic user interface for a dense three-dimensional scene with a navigation assistance panel, comprising:
-
visually placing clusters of semantically scored documents, each cluster comprising one or more concepts extracted from the documents, in a three-dimensional scene arranged proximal to each other such cluster to form a cluster spine and projecting each cluster spine into a two-dimensional display relative to a stationary perspective; presenting controls via a heads-up display generator operating on a view of the cluster spines in the two-dimensional display and providing a plurality of compasses via the heads-up display generator logically framing the cluster spines within the two-dimensional display, wherein the compasses operate independently of each other in response to user input to the controls; generating a label to identify one such concept in one or more of the cluster spines appearing within at least one of the compasses; defining a plurality of slots in the two-dimensional display positioned circumferentially around the compasses and assigning each label to the slot outside of the compasses for the cluster spine having a closest angularity to the slot; and providing a perspective-altered rendition of the two-dimensional display through a navigation assistance panel. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system for providing a dynamic user interface comprising a plurality of logical layers with a perspective-altered layer, comprising:
-
a user interface provided via a heads-up display generator, comprising; a data layer configured to provide clusters comprising one or more concepts arranged proximal to each other such cluster to form a cluster spine; a control layer configured to operate on a view of the cluster spines; a concepts layer configured to provide information about the clusters; and a heads-up display layer configured to provide a compass to logically frame the cluster spines; a label to identify one such concept in one or more of the cluster spines appearing within the compass; a plurality of slots positioned circumferentially around the compass, wherein each label is assigned to the slot outside of the compass for the cluster spine having a closest angularity to the slot; and a perspective-altered layer configured to provide a perspective-altered rendition of the heads-up display layer. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
