Methods and systems for displaying customized icons

摘要

A method (and system for practicing the method) for processing and reporting a characteristic of a resource for a domain (e.g., weather forecast for a flight route). A request is sent to a server for customized data for the resource, preferably containing at least a unique application identifier. Customized data is received from the server, wherein said data contain a plurality of customized conditional result values of characteristics of the resource at a multiplicity of domain values, generated using values of the characteristics of the resource at various domain values and conditionals specific to the application identifier. A graphical chart (often in the form of a circle or spiral) is displayed based on the received customized data, wherein the location of the graphical chart on the display device corresponds to said resource, and furthermore wherein the colors of the chart at each of a plurality of points upon the chart are each determined based on the customized conditional result value of the characteristics of the resource for a domain value (e.g., time), said domain value corresponding to the rotational angle of said point upon the chart.

1. A method for processing and reporting weather forecast data for aviation route planning comprising:
associating personalized desirability values with a unique identifier for a user; sending a request to a server for personalized weather forecast data for a particular geographic region, said request containing at least a unique identifier for a user; generating the personalized weather forecast data for a user and particular geographic region as a function of weather forecast data and the personalized desirability values; receiving the personalized weather forecast data from the server for said region, wherein said data contain one or more personalized desirability values of forecasted weather conditions for said region at a plurality of times, generated using weather forecast information for said region and conditionals specific to the user; and generating a graphical element on a display device based on the received personalized weather forecast data, wherein the location of the graphical element on the display device corresponds to said geographic region, and wherein a color of the graphical element at each of a plurality of points upon the element is determined based on the personalized desirability value of the forecasted weather conditions at a specific time, said time corresponding to a rotational angle of said point upon the element, relative to a predetermined reference position where 360 degrees of the rotational angle corresponds to some unit of time.
