DISPLAY OF SYSTEM OPERATING STATUS IN A MULTI-NODE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for displaying operational status of an information processing system including a plurality of process nodes, a system management node for controlling the plurality of process nodes and a network interconnecting the process nodes and the system management node, comprising the steps of:
- generating a perspective display mode image including a plurality of processing node images, a system management node image and a network image depicted and arranged according to a system configuration,generating a system status display image by modifying the perspective display model image to represent a perspective of the operational status of the system wherein a perspective of an operational status of the system is a visual representation of the system according to a relative significance of at least one aspect of the operational status of the system, anddisplaying the system status display image containing the perspective of the operational status of the system.

Abstract
A method for displaying operational status and health of a system, such as a multi-venue theater management system, by generating a perspective display mode image including system element images depicted and arranged according to a system configuration and generating and displaying a system status display including one or more displayable perspective images representing the operational status of the system by modifying the perspective model image for each perspective. A perspective is a visual representation of the system according to a relative significance of an aspect of the operational status of the system, such as system configuration, system operational status and user factors representing a display. The perspectives are depicted and arranged to represent a relative priority of visual display between the perspectives and relative priority of visual display between perspectives may be represented by at least one of relative size, color, relative location, and relative level of detail in depiction of the perspectives.
