Abstract

Methods of displaying information to a user are provided. Aspects of the methods include receiving information, correlating the received information with one or more factors previously identified as being relevant to the information, deriving a non-linear representation of the information based on the correlation between the information and the one or more factors, displaying a linear representation of the information, and displaying the non-linear representation of the information. Aspects of the invention further include devices and systems for practicing the methods.

Claims

1. A method of displaying information to a user, the method comprising:

receiving linear, quantitative information;

correlating with a computer processor the received linear, quantitative information with one or more factors previously identified as being relevant to the linear, quantitative information;

deriving a non-linear representation of the linear, quantitative information based on the correlation between the linear, quantitative information and the one or more factors;

displaying a linear representation of the linear, quantitative information; and

displaying the non-linear representation of the linear, quantitative information.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein one or more factors comprise risk data.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the one or more factors comprise relevance data.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the one or more factors comprise reward data.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the linear, quantitative information comprises information about a state of a device.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the information about the state of the device comprises a rate measure of the device.

7-25. -25. (canceled)

26. A system for displaying information to a user, the system comprising:

a computer processor configured to;

receive the linear, quantitative information;

correlate the received linear, quantitative information with one or more factors previously identified as being relevant to the linear, quantitative information; and

derive a non-linear representation of the linear, quantitative information based on the correlation between the linear, quantitative information and the one or more factors; and

one or more displays in communication with the computer processor,

wherein the one or more displays display a linear representation of the linear, quantitative information and the non-linear representation of the linear, quantitative information.

27. The system of claim 26, comprising a first display and a second display, wherein the first display displays a linear representation of the linear, quantitative information and the second display displays the non-linear representation of the linear, quantitative information.

28. The system according to claim 26, wherein the linear representation of the linear, quantitative information and the non-linear representation of the linear, quantitative information are displayed simultaneously.

29. The system according to claim 26, wherein one or more factors comprise risk data.

30. The system according to claim 26, wherein the one or more factors comprise relevance data.

31. The system according to claim 26, wherein the one or more factors comprise reward data.

32. The system according to claim 26, wherein the linear, quantitative information comprises information about a state of a device.

33. The system according to claim 32, wherein the information about the state of the device comprises a rate measure of the device.

34-52. -52. (canceled)

53. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for displaying information to a user, the medium comprising an executable program which when executed by a computer processor causes the computer processor to:

receive linear, quantitative information;

correlate the received linear, quantitative information with one or more factors previously identified as being relevant to the linear, quantitative information; and

derive a non-linear representation of the linear, quantitative information based on the correlation between the linear, quantitative information and the one or more factors.

54. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 53, wherein one or more factors comprise risk data.

55. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 53, wherein the one or more factors comprise relevance data.

56. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 53, wherein the one or more factors comprise reward data.

57. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 53, wherein the linear, quantitative information comprises information about a state of a device.

58. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 57, wherein the information about the state of the device comprises a rate measure of the device.

59-77. -77. (canceled)
