METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING AND DISPLAYING AN INTERACTIVE DYNAMIC LIST VIEW OF MULTIPLY CONNECTED OBJECTS
First Claim
1. A method for generating views of data on a user interface in a computing environment, comprising:
- at a server, generating coordinate data for a graph representing multiply connected objects;
transmitting the coordinate data to a client as lightweight object data;
at the client, based on the lightweight object data, rendering an interactive dynamic graph view of the multiply connected objects on a user interface;
at the client, based on the lightweight object data, rendering an interactive dynamic list view of the multiply connected objects on a user interface; and
synchronizing the list view and the graph view.

Abstract
A method and system for generating views of data on a user interface in a computing environment, is provided. One implementation involves: at a server, generating coordinate data for a graph representing multiply connected objects; transmitting the coordinate data to a client as lightweight object data; at the client, based on the lightweight object data, rendering an interactive dynamic graph view of the multiply connected objects on a user interface; at the client, based on the lightweight object data, rendering an interactive dynamic list view of the multiply connected objects on a user interface; and synchronizing the list view and the graph view. The order of objects in the list view reflects the order of objects in the graph view per a breadth-first traversal starting at a root object.
