A system and methods for depicting on-line transactions (100). Transactions are represented in a connected graph with various visual and/or aural attributes indicating statuses for various transaction parameters. Nodes represent entities providing or receiving value, while edges represent transactions conducted between entities. The relative magnitude of value of a transaction may be indicated by the thickness of pattern of an edge, while a time period during which is occurred may be indicated by color. Different types of entities may be represented by nodes of different shapes, and/or specific entities within a type may have other unique attributes e.g., color, size. A graph may be generated by starting with an initial account (120, 122), entity or transaction that meets one or more criteria e.g., value amount, frequency of activity. The sources and/or destinations of value transferred from/to the initial entity (200) may be added to identify a set of related or connected transactions. |
