INFORMATION DISPLAYING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A method of displaying information relating to one or more entities, the method including, in an electronic processing device, generating a network representation, the representation including a number of nodes, each node being indicative of a corresponding entity, and a number of connections between nodes, the connections being indicative of relationships between the entities. The method further includes causing the network representation to be displayed to a user, in response to user input commands, determining at least one user selected node corresponding to a user selected entity, determining at least one search to be performed in respective of the corresponding entity associated with the at least one user selected node, performing the at least one search to thereby determine additional information regarding the entity and causing any additional information to be presented to the user.

1) A method of displaying information relating to one or more entities, the method including, in an electronic processing device:
a) generating a network representation, the representation including:
i) a number of nodes, each node being indicative of a corresponding entity; and,ii) a number of connections between nodes, the connections being indicative of relationships between the entities; and, b) causing the network representation to be displayed to a user; c) in response to user input commands, determining at least one user selected node corresponding to a user selected entity; d) determining at least one search to be performed in respective of the corresponding entity associated with the at least one user selected node; e) performing the at least one search to thereby determine additional information regarding the entity; and, f) causing any additional information to be presented to the user.
