Patent Images
1. A method for organizing data according to a time based parameter displayed on a linear axis, comprising:
- a. Providing a visual user interface, the interface comprising a first area and a second area, the first area being larger than the second area, the second area comprising at least one bar extending horizontally and illustrating a time-line wherein earlier times are farther to the left and later times are farther to the right, wherein the image illustrated in the first area is determined based on selection by the user of a portion of the various times illustrated in the bar in the second area;
b. providing a memory which is able to store a series of data sets with time based parameters;
c. a segment of the display area for selecting the length and moment of time on the display.

Abstract
A method for organizing data according to a time based parameter displayed on a linear axis includes providing a visual user interface. The interface has a first area and a second area. The first area is larger than the second area. The second area has at least one bar extending horizontally and illustrates a time-line wherein earlier times are farther to the left and later times are farther to the right. The image illustrated in the first area is determined based on selection by the user of a portion of the various times illustrated in the bar in the second area.
