  • Hierarchical data display
    Patent number: 8230339
    Abstract: A graphical hierarchical data wheel for displaying hierarchical nodes includes a top level circle on a central axis of the wheel representing a top level node. The wheel further includes a first concentric ring adjacent to the top level circle and comprising a plurality of first level segments, each representing a first level node. The size of each first level segment is proportional to a weight of the corresponding first level node. The wheel further includes a second concentric ring having a larger radius than the first concentric ring and adjacent to the first concentric ring, and comprising a plurality of second level segments, each representing a second level node. The size of each of the second level segments is proportional to the weight of the corresponding second level node. The wheel may include additional concentric rings as needed, and depending on the resolution and size of the display.
