Patent Images
1. A system for displaying alphanumeric data in a three dimensional grid, comprising:
- a first memory operable to store the alphanumeric data and associated display data;
a processor coupled to the first memory and operable to transform the alphanumeric data and the display data into a format for display;
a display coupled to the processor and operable to display the alphanumeric data and the display data in a three dimensional grid, the three dimensional grid having a plurality of planes of alphanumeric data; and
an input device coupled to the processor, the processor operable to graphically orient the three dimensional grid to enhance user visualization of a selected plane of the alphanumeric data in response to an input from the user input device.

Abstract
A display system (10) displays alphanumeric data in a three dimensional grid (58). The grid (58) may include data entries (72), planes (72, 74, 76), labels (90, 92, 94), and various graphics (102, 106, 110) that visually represent the data entries (70). A user of display system (10) can modify, orient, or otherwise manipulate the grid (58) to visualize alphanumeric data in three dimensions.
