Method and apparatus for dynamic comparison of data sets

摘要

Static display protocols for comparing a plurality of data sets are complex and inefficient. A system and method for a dynamic display protocol is disclosed. A user may compare a plurality of data sets using a dynamic display protocol for controlling the display of a plurality of data sets. In an embodiment, the dynamic display protocol utilizes two binary input sequences to control the display of the data sets. The first input sequence maintains the data set displayed on at least one first predetermined display region and shifts the data set displayed on at least one second predetermined display region. The second input sequence shifts the data set displayed on a plurality of display regions. In an embodiment, the first input sequence is controlled by the "up" and "down" arrow keys and the second input sequence is controlled by the "right" and "left" arrow keys on a computer keyboard.
