  • Publication number: 20140047361
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for a human-computer graphical interface device for interacting with a multi-level hierarchy. The method commences by receiving a hierarchy data structure that describes a plurality of adjacent hierarchical levels, from which are selected three adjacent levels, which in turn are used in forming a graphical screen device having three or more three concentric annular areas, each one of the concentric areas corresponding to a respective level of the hierarchy. Each one of the concentric areas is populated with icons or other screen devices, and the icons are annotated with aspects of node information pertaining to a node at the respective level. The annular areas can be formed by circle shapes and/or by ring shapes. The organization of the rings corresponds to adjacent levels of the hierarchy such that each larger ring corresponds to a successively next lower level of the hierarchy.
