First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for multi-dimensional visualization of temporal information, comprising:
- providing a processor configured for tracking one or more sources of time varying information across a plurality of dimensions in real time;
said processor configured for automatically combining said source information from one or more dimensions into a strip, said strip comprising a coherent visualization of said information as a time line; and
said processor configured for simultaneously presenting a plurality of strips to a user to effect a multi-dimensional visualization of said information to said user.

Abstract
Various kinds of business and other information are tracked in real time. A coherent information visualization, for example as a time line, automatically, simultaneously presents relevant information to a user across multiple dimensions. Tools are provided that allow the user to establish and manipulate multi-dimensional linkages to develop insights into information gathered from multiple domains.
