Methods for Generating Visual Data From Nodes Containing Identify Data for Individuals From a Set View Point
First Claim
1. A method for constructing dynamic relationships between data for presentation on a display, the data obtained from one or more data sources and managed as a plurality of nodes, the plurality of nodes being linked based on characteristics of the data contained in the nodes, the nodes increasing or decreasing in number over time, the method comprising:
- setting a point of view from one of the nodes of the plurality of nodes, the setting of the point of view acting to order certain ones of the plurality of nodes to produce a representation from the point of view;
generating visual data that illustrates the representation of the plurality of nodes from the set point of view; and
providing the visual data for rendering on a display of a device;
wherein certain ones of the nodes contain unique identity data for individuals, and the nodes are associated with other nodes based on relationships between the individuals, the representation presenting at least some associations between the nodes for defining the visual data, wherein the method is executed by a processor.

Abstract
Computer implemented methods for constructing dynamic relationships between data for presentation on a display are provided. The data is obtained from one or more data sources and managed as a plurality of nodes. The nodes increase or decrease in number over time. One method includes setting a point of view from one of the nodes of the plurality of nodes, and the setting of the point of view acting to order certain ones of the plurality of nodes to produce a representation from the point of view. The method generates visual data that illustrates the representation of the plurality of nodes from the set point of view and provides the visual data for rendering on a display of a device. Certain ones of the nodes contain unique identity data for individuals, and the nodes are associated with other nodes based on relationships between the individuals.

15. Computer readable media having program instructions for constructing dynamic relationships between data for presentation on a display, the data obtained from one or more data sources and managed as a plurality of nodes, the plurality of nodes being linked based on characteristics of the data contained in the nodes, the nodes increasing or decreasing in number over time, the computer readable media comprising:
-
program instructions for setting a point of view from one of the nodes of the plurality of nodes, the setting of the point of view acting to order certain ones of the plurality of nodes to produce a representation from the point of view; program instructions for generating visual data that illustrates the representation of the plurality of nodes from the set point of view; and program instructions for providing the visual data for rendering on a display of a device, such that certain ones of the nodes contain unique identity data for individuals, and the nodes are associated with other nodes based on relationships between the individuals, the representation providing at least some associations between the nodes for defining the visual data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
