METHOD FOR DISPLAYING AND UPDATING OF DOCUMENTS DISPLAYED ON A USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A method for generating or updating of documents for visualization at a user interface of a first client means, wherein the first client means can be coupled to a server means via a communication network, wherein the server means can be coupled to a number of second client means via the communication network, and wherein a storage means is assigned to the server means, in which the information to be displayed in the document is stored as data sets, wherein the data sets respectively comprise location information and detail criteria assigned to the location information, wherein the server meansreceives, from the first client means, a request message, by means of which the server means is requested to generate a document according to a number of search criteria, wherein the search criteria are stored in the storage means,determines and selects, in the storage means, those data sets corresponding at least partially to the search criteria,embeds, in the document, a section of the map, wherein the map section is selected such that it comprises the location information of the selected data sets,embeds, in the map section, for each selected data set a marker, wherein the position of the marker in the map section corresponds to the respective location information of the data set,embeds, in the document, the result list comprising lines and columns, wherein the selected data sets respectively are assigned to a line or to a column, wherein the lines or the columns respectively comprise a number of detail criteria of the data sets assigned to them, andtransmits the document to the first client means,whereina marker is linked to a column or to a line of the result list logically, andan event handler is respectively assigned to the markers and the lines or columns of the result list, which is adapted toupon selection of a marker at the user interface, optically highlight the line or column of the result list at the user interface, the line or column of the result list linked to the selected marker, orupon selection of a line or column of the result list at the user interface, optically highlight the marker at the user interface linked to the selected line or column of the result list.

Abstract
A method for generating or updating of documents for visualization at a user interface is provided. In a database, the data sets to be displayed in the document are stored, wherein the data sets respectively comprise location information. A server means receives from the first client means a request message, selects from the database data sets according to search criteria, and embeds the selected data sets in a section of a map, wherein the map section is selected such that it comprises the location information of the selected data sets, and embeds a marker into the map section for each data set according to the location information, wherein the marker is linked to a data set logically, and an event trader is adapted to optically highlight the data set associated with the marker (or vice versa) upon a selection of a marker.
