Use of color in a site analysis report
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for outputting a site analysis report, comprising:
- obtaining visitation data for a first node and a second node;
outputting a representation of the first node in a first color;
outputting a representation of the second node in a second color; and
outputting a line connecting the first and second nodes, the line having a color selected from the first and second colors, the selected color indicating a direction of traffic between the first node and the second node, and the line having a color intensity that varies according to proximity to at least one of the first node and the second node.

Abstract
In the context of a site analysis report showing paths between nodes, color is used to indicate a direction of traffic that follows a particular node-to-node path. Different colors are assigned to different nodes in a site analysis report. Paths are color-coded according to their destination nodes, so as to provide a distinctive visual identification of a traffic flow direction. Node connection direction can be reinforced by static or moving arrows.

17. A computer-implemented system for outputting a site analysis report, comprising:
-
a processor, for processing electronic signals representing data and for executing instructions stored in a memory device; a memory device, for storing instructions to be performed by the processor; a path flow module, implemented as instructions stored in the memory device for causing the processor to obtain visitation data for a first node and a second node; a path analysis report module, implemented as instructions stored in the memory device for causing the processor to transform the obtained visitation data to generate site analysis report comprising; a representation of the first node in a first color; a representation of the second node in a second color; and a line connecting the first and second nodes, the line having a color selected from the first and second colors, the selected color indicating a direction of traffic between the first node and the second node, and the line having a color intensity that varies according to proximity to at least one of the first node and the second node; and an output device, coupled to the path analysis report module processor for outputting the generated site analysis report. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
