System and method for changeable dynamic directory

摘要

An embodiment generally relates to a method for displaying data. The method for displaying data includes a changeable directory module (CDM). The CDM is configured to determine a plurality of attributes for a data set. In determining a plurality of symbols, the CDM associates each symbol with a respective attribute. The CDM is configured to display an initial sequence of symbols on a navigation pane. The CDM is also configured to re-sequence the initial sequence of symbols and display the data set according to the re-sequence of symbols on a display pane.

1. A method for displaying data by a changeable directory, the method comprising:
displaying a first sequence of attributes; determining a first plurality of icons, wherein the first plurality of icons are determined based on an association with a first attribute of the first sequence of attributes; displaying the first plurality of icons at a first tier of a changeable directory; receiving an activation of a first icon of the first plurality of icons; determining a second plurality of icons based on the activation of the first icon of the first plurality of icons, wherein the second plurality of icons are determined based on an association with:
a second attribute of the first sequence of attributes, wherein the second attribute of the first sequence of attributes is not the first attribute of the first sequence of attributes; andthe first icon of the first plurality of icons; displaying the second plurality of icons at a second tier of the changeable directory; receiving a selection of a first selected icon of the second plurality of icons; displaying a first operating parameter of a first module of an imaging device based on the section of the first selected icon, wherein the first operating parameter is used for at least one of initializing, repairing, or calibrating the imaging device; receiving a change to the first sequence of attributes; determining a second sequence of attributes based on the change to the first sequence of attributes; displaying the second sequence of attributes; determining a third plurality of icons, wherein the third plurality of icons are determined based on an association with a first attribute of the second sequence of attributes, and the first attribute of the second sequence of attributes is not the first attribute of the first sequence of attributes; displaying the third plurality of icons at the first tier of the changeable directory, whereby at least one icon of the third plurality of icons was previously displayed at the second tier before receiving the change to the first sequence of attributes; receiving an activation of a first icon of the third plurality of icons; determining a fourth plurality of icons based on the activation of the first icon of the third plurality of icons, wherein the fourth plurality of icons are determined based on an association with:
a second attribute of the second sequence of attributes, wherein the second attribute of the second sequence of attributes is not the first attribute of the second sequence of attributes; andthe first icon of the third plurality of icons; displaying the fourth plurality of icons at the second tier of the changeable directory, whereby at least one icon of the fourth plurality of icons was previously displayed at the first tier before receiving the change to the first sequence of attributes; receiving a selection of a second selected icon of the fourth plurality of icons; and displaying a second operating parameter of a second module of the imaging device based on the section of the second selected icon, wherein the second operating parameter is used for at least one of initializing, repairing, or calibrating the imaging device.
