Flow pipe totals
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a first user input that specifies a first status from a set of statuses;
in response to receiving the first user input, displaying, on a screen of a device, a first flow element corresponding to the first status;
receiving a second user input that specifies a second status from the set of statuses;
in response to receiving the second user input, displaying, on the screen, a second flow element corresponding to the second status;
receiving a third user input that relates the first flow element to the second flow element;
in response to receiving the third user input, determining a quantity of objects that changed status from the first status to the second status;
displaying, on the screen, a directional indicator that connects the first flow element to the second flow element and that indicates a direction of flow from the first the first flow element to the second flow element anddisplaying, on the screen, an indication of the quantity of objects.

Abstract
A computing device can automatically generate a flow diagram showing statuses that objects in a system can possess, and the possible transitions between these statuses. Using snapshots of database data, the device can determine how the statuses of these objects have changed over time. The device can analyze the data to suggest which database fields likely represent object status. The device can render the flow diagram to illustrate system states at different selected times. Each rendered flow diagram can indicate, for the selected time point, the quantity of objects that possessed each status at that time, and, for a selected time interval, the quantity of objects that changed from each status to each other status during that time interval. The statuses can be represented in the flow diagram as status bubbles having sizes that are based on the quantities of objects have those bubble'"'"'s statuses at the selected time point.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a first user input that specifies a first status from a set of statuses; in response to receiving the first user input, displaying, on a screen of a device, a first flow element corresponding to the first status; receiving a second user input that specifies a second status from the set of statuses; in response to receiving the second user input, displaying, on the screen, a second flow element corresponding to the second status; receiving a third user input that relates the first flow element to the second flow element; in response to receiving the third user input, determining a quantity of objects that changed status from the first status to the second status; displaying, on the screen, a directional indicator that connects the first flow element to the second flow element and that indicates a direction of flow from the first the first flow element to the second flow element and displaying, on the screen, an indication of the quantity of objects. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
