134. A method comprising:
-
maintaining a first database having a plurality of data elements on a subject and associated graphical information, wherein the data elements are stored in volatile memory; automatically refreshing the first database with updated data from a second database; receiving user commands generated from user interaction with control icons, wherein the control icons are individually hideable and wherein the control icons are mapped to the data elements in the first database; responsive to receiving the user commands, returning one or more of the data elements; and layering, in a multi-dimensional presentation, the returned data elements such that the returned data elements are actionable by user selection, wherein selection of an actionable data element causes display of a details layer over a portion of the previously displayed layers, the details layer comprising additional information regarding the selected element. - View Dependent Claims (135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140)
