  • Patent number: 10339681
    Abstract: According to an aspect a method for building an interactive multimedia process flow chart is provided. The method includes displaying a process flow chart in an interactive graphically editable format on a user interface. The process flow chart includes a plurality of nodes each located entirely in a single node cell of a node grid. A pair of output hubs on a decision node of the process flow chart is linked to a pair of nodes defining a yes-path and a no-path. An output hub of a process step node of the process flow chart is linked to a single node defining a next process step. A link is established to an end node of the process flow chart absent any output links from the end node. The decision node, process step node, and end node each have a common shape including a display region and an editing command region.

  • Publication number: 20150149912
    Abstract: A method for interactive multimedia process flow chart analysis is provided. The method includes displaying a process flow chart in an interactive graphical format on a user interface. A visual indication of a current path to a current node in the process flow chart is provided. A request to advance in the process flow chart is received. The method also includes traversing to a subsequent node in the process flow chart based on the request, and updating the visual indication of the current path to include a path to the subsequent node. A history of decisions along the current path is stored in a log based on receiving the request.
