Monitoring data elements across multiple networks and processes

摘要

The invention described here is a computer-related method for analyzing and reporting the current status of a wide array of processes and conditions across multiple networks and systems. It employs independent software entities called “Blades” to control the retrieval, analysis and characterization of each situation, combined with a common presentation system that displays those characterizations in a simple graphical vocabulary for expressing degrees of positive and negative significance. By employing Tiles or similar independent graphical reports, shown together on the screen of a desktop computer, notebook, tablet, mobile device or wearable interactive display, the invention described here allows the user to see his or her world at a glance.

主权项

1. A implemented method for analyzing the current status of at least two of a plurality of data elements from local or remote data-sources and converting each said status to one of a common set of symbols that convey the urgency with which said user should examine said data element, consisting of:
(a) the initial establishment by said user of a plurality of at least two mutually exclusive ranges for each said data element to be analyzed, (b) the examination of at least two said data elements in different formats on said systems by an interactive digital device of said user on a schedule determined by said user, (c) the characterization of said status of each said data element as falling within one of said previously established ranges, (d) the conversion of said characterization of each said status into one of a common set of text, graphic, audio or video symbols designed to indicate the urgency with which said user should examine said data element, (e) the presentation of said symbols on the screen of said interactive digital device, whereby said user is able to regularly monitor said status of at least two of said plurality of data elements in different formats from different said systems on said screen of said interactive digital device.
