Abstract

Graphical user interfaces, methods and systems that enable the selection, grouping and analysis of data.

Claims

1. A user interface for depiction on a display device, the user interface comprising:

a component capable of selecting criteria from a structured collection of data, said

structured collection of data including criteria for selecting properties of acquired information; and

,

a portion of the acquired information, said portion displayed on the display device, and said portion satisfying criteria selected by use of said component.

2. The user interface of claim 1 wherein the acquired information comprises signaling messages.

3. The user interface of claim 2 wherein said criteria comprises filters for analyzing the signaling messages.

4. A computing device and associated display device, the computing device being programmed to implement the user interface of claim 1.

5. A computer readable medium having computer executable code embodied therein, said computer executable code being capable of causing a computer to implement the user interface of claim 1.

6. The computer readable medium of claim 5 where in said computer executable code is also capable of causing the computer to:

update the structured collection of data; and

,

update said component, where in said updated component is capable of selecting criteria from the updated structure collection of data.

7. The user interface of claim 1 further comprising means for deselecting criteria.

8. A method for displaying acquired signaling messages, the method comprising the steps of:

selecting criteria from a structured collection of data, the structured collection of data including criteria for selecting properties of acquired signaling messages; and

,

displaying a subset of the acquired signaling messages, the subset satisfying the selected criteria.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising the steps of:

updating the structured collection of data; and

,

updating a component capable of selecting criteria from the structured collection of data.

10. The method of claim 8 further comprising the step of:

updating a component capable of selecting criteria from the structured collection of data

11. A system for analyzing and displaying acquired signaling messages, the system comprising:

at least one processor;

a display device;

at least one computer usable medium having computer readable code embodied there in, said computer readable code being capable of causing said at least one processor to;

provide a user interface for depiction in the display device, the user interface comprising a component capable of selecting criteria from a structured collection of data, the structured collection of data comprising criteria for selecting properties of acquired signaling messages,

display, upon user input, a subset of the acquired signaling messages, the subset satisfying the selected criteria.

12. The system of claim 11 further comprising:

at least one other computers usable medium comprising said structured collection of data.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein said computer readable code is also capable of causing said at least one processor to:

update the component capable of selecting criteria from the structured collection of data,

14. The system of claim 11 wherein said computer readable code is also capable of causing said at least one processor to:

update the structured collection of data; and

,

update the component capable of selecting criteria from the structured collection of data.
