OPERATING HOUR INTERACTIVE DYNAMIC SYSTEM AND DISPLAY
First Claim
1. An apparatus for graphically displaying dynamic operating hour data, comprising:
- a grid model to graphically represent a set of potential operating hours of an enterprise;
a depiction of shaded regions superimposed on the grid model, each region distinguished from others by color or pattern or other distinguishing feature, each region representative of at least one operating hour;
an icon depicting a current operating status for the enterprise, wherein a position of the icon on the grid model is representative of a current date and clock time relative to the shaded regions;
a sensor interface to receive the operating hour data; and
a graphics generator to prepare a presentation of the grid model and icon according to the data as correlated to the current date and clock time.
