TIME EXPANSION FOR DISPLAYING PATH INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for displaying sequential information, the method comprising:
- plotting a plurality of tokens of the sequential information on a first axis and a second axis, wherein the plurality of tokens of the sequential information represent a path, the first axis represents a spatial relationship between the tokens, and the second axis represents a combination of a spatial relationship between the tokens and a relative temporal order of the tokens within the sequence; and
displaying a representation of the path of the sequential information based on plotting the tokens of the sequential information on the first axis and the second axis.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for displaying sequential information representing a path. The sequential information can include a number of tokens representing a path. A representation of the tokens and path of the sequential information can be displayed. An instruction to adjust the representation of the path of the sequential information can be received. For example, instruction can comprise user instruction, including but not limited to a user manipulation of a slider control of a user interface through which the representation of the sequence is displayed. The displayed representation of the path of the sequential information can be updated based on and corresponding to the instruction. So for example, the user can click and drag or otherwise manipulate the slider control above and the displayed representation of the path can be expanded and/or contracted based on the user'"'"'s movement of the slider control.

11. A system for displaying sequential information, the system comprising:
-
a display device; a processor communicatively coupled with the display device; and a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the processor and having stored therein a series of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to plot a plurality of tokens of the sequential information on a first axis and a second axis, wherein the plurality of tokens of the sequential information represent a path, the first axis represents a spatial relationship between the tokens, and the second axis represents a combination of a spatial relationship between the tokens and a relative temporal order of the tokens within the sequence, and display on the display device a representation of the path of the sequential information based on plotting the tokens of the sequential information on the first axis and the second axis. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
