  • Heuristics for determining the layout of a procedurally generated user interface
    Patent number: 9621443
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to monitoring communication over a network using a network monitoring device (NMD). Measurement information may be generated based on network traffic that may be monitored by the NMD. Metrics associated with one or more characteristics of the monitored network traffic may be generated based on the measurement information. Layout information for a user-interface may be generated based on results of heuristics that use the measurement information. Generating the layout information may include, determining a layout template based on the results of the heuristics and the measurement information. Metric visualizations that may be associated with the metrics may be displayed in the user-interface based on the layout information. If measurements exceed defined threshold values, the layout information may be modified based on the changes to the measurement information. Accordingly, the layout of the user interface may be modified based on the modified layout information.
