Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention provides a user interface for presenting anomaly-detection outcomes associated with an organization to a user. The user interface includes a receiving mechanism configured to receive the anomaly-detection outcomes, a display that displays the anomaly-detection outcomes at a first resolution, and a command-receiving mechanism configured to receive commands from the user. In response to receiving a respective user command, the display is configured to display the anomaly-detection outcomes at a second resolution.

Claims

1. A user interface for presenting anomaly-detection outcomes associated with an organization to a user, the user interface comprising:

a receiving mechanism configured to receive the anomaly-detection outcomes;

a display that displays the anomaly-detection outcomes at a first resolution; and

a command-receiving mechanism configured to receive commands from the user;

wherein in response to receiving a respective user command, the display is configured to display the anomaly-detection outcomes at a second resolution.

2. The user interface of claim 1, wherein the display is configured to display an organizational chart for the organization, wherein the organizational chart includes at least one visual representation of a component within the organization, and wherein the visual representation is displayed in a way that is associated with anomaly-detection outcomes specific to the component.

3. The user interface of claim 2, wherein the organizational chart includes a tree diagram representing the hierarchy of the organization, and wherein the visual representation of the component includes a node on the tree diagram.

4. The user interface of claim 3, wherein while displaying the anomaly-detection outcomes at a second resolution, the display is configured to at least one of:

expand a node on the tree diagram; and

collapse a node on the tree diagram.

5. The user interface of claim 2, wherein the visual representation of the component is displayed in a color that is determined by the anomaly-detection outcomes specific to the component.

6. The user interface of claim 1, wherein the display is further configured to display an anomaly report specific to a respective individual.

7. The user interface of claim 6, wherein the anomaly report includes at least one of:

a time-varying anomaly score;

one or more time-varying psychological variables; and

one or more groups with which the individual is affiliated.

8. The user interface of claim 6, wherein the anomaly report further includes notes entered by the user.

9. The user interface of claim 6, wherein the anomaly report further includes an event train which displays events and corresponding occurring times of the events.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to present a user interface for presenting anomaly-detection outcomes associated with an organization to a user, the user interface comprising:

a receiving mechanism configured to receive the anomaly-detection outcomes;

a display that displays the anomaly-detection outcomes at a first resolution; and

a command-receiving mechanism configured to receive commands from the user;

wherein in response to receiving a respective user command, the display is configured to display the anomaly-detection outcomes at a second resolution.

11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the display is configured to display an organizational chart for the organization, wherein the organizational chart includes at least one visual representation of a component within the organization, and wherein the visual representation is displayed in a way that is associated with anomaly-detection outcomes specific to the component.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the organizational chart includes a tree diagram representing the hierarchy of the organization, and wherein the visual representation of the component includes a node on the tree diagram.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein while displaying the anomaly-detection outcomes at a second resolution, the display is configured to at least one of:

expand a node on the tree diagram; and

collapse a node on the tree diagram.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11, wherein the visual representation of the component is displayed in a color that is determined by the anomaly-detection outcomes specific to the component.

15. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the display is further configured to display an anomaly report specific to a respective individual.

16. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the anomaly report includes at least one of:

a time-varying anomaly score;

one or more time-varying psychological variables; and

one or more groups with which the individual is affiliated.

17. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the anomaly report further includes notes entered by the user.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the anomaly report further includes an event train which displays events and corresponding occurring times of the events.

19. A method for presenting anomaly-detection outcomes associated with an organization to a user, the method comprising:

receiving the anomaly-detection outcomes;

displaying the anomaly-detection outcomes at a first resolution; and

receiving commands from the user, wherein a respective user command results in the anomaly-detection outcomes being displayed at a second resolution.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein displaying the anomaly-detection outcomes involves displaying an organizational chart for the organization, wherein the organizational chart includes at least one visual representation of a component within the organization, and wherein the visual representation is displayed in a way that is associated with anomaly-detection outcomes specific to the component.
