Navigation device for organizing entities in a data space and related methods as well as a computer having the navigation device
First Claim
1. A navigation device for organizing entities in a data space, this navigation device having a distribution unit and a display unit and the display unit displaying a rigid, geometrical grid, the rigid geometrical grid having a central field and a first field circle with associated first circle fields, the first circle field being disposed around the central field and more than two central field preference orders being allocated to the central field, an associated central field preference vector being allocated in the rigid, geometrical grid to each of these central field preference orders, the distribution unit determining one or two preference entities for each central field preference order in the data space and displaying this preference entity in the first circle field into which the central field preference vector is pointing, or displaying the two preference entities in adjacent first circle fields, the borders of which overlap with the central field preference vector.

Abstract
A great difficulty, for example, is to arrange and display inconsistent and uncontrolled metafiles having weak structures, as they are found on YouTube, for example. This is due, among other things, to the fact that no uniform ontology or editorial processing of the metafiles is provided for. In addition, it is also not possible to produce algorithmically generated consistent ontologies. The invention therefore relates to a navigation device for arranging entities in a data space, wherein the navigation device comprises a distribution unit and a display unit, and the display unit shows a rigid, geometrical grid, wherein the distribution unit determines and displays preferential entities. In this way, the chaos in the metafiles is removed by structuring, and navigation in the data space is enabled.

- 1. A navigation device for organizing entities in a data space, this navigation device having a distribution unit and a display unit and the display unit displaying a rigid, geometrical grid, the rigid geometrical grid having a central field and a first field circle with associated first circle fields, the first circle field being disposed around the central field and more than two central field preference orders being allocated to the central field, an associated central field preference vector being allocated in the rigid, geometrical grid to each of these central field preference orders, the distribution unit determining one or two preference entities for each central field preference order in the data space and displaying this preference entity in the first circle field into which the central field preference vector is pointing, or displaying the two preference entities in adjacent first circle fields, the borders of which overlap with the central field preference vector.
- 3. The navigation device according to one of the afore-mentioned claims, a second field circle with associated second circle fields being disposed around the first circle field.
- 5. The navigation device according to one of the afore-mentioned claims, one or several first circle field preference orders with a respective first circle field preference vector being allocated to one or several first circle fields.
- 9. The navigation device according to one of the afore-mentioned claims, further field circles with further fields being disposed around the second field circle.
