<p>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 o r connected transactions.</p> |
