Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for efficiently presenting information in a three-dimensional landscape are described. In some aspects, values for multiple series of data points are received. The data points may relate to financial instruments or business intelligence metrics. A three-dimensional landscape of the values is generated. The three-dimensional landscape includes arrays of discrete graphical elements, where each array corresponds to one of the series. Each discrete graphical element has a visual attribute that represents one of the observed market values. The elements in each array are distributed along a first dimension of the three-dimensional landscape and positioned adjacent to one another to allow visual identification of trends within each series. The arrays are spaced apart from each other in a second dimension of the three-dimensional landscape to allow visual comparison of the trends across different series.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software for efficiently presenting financial information in a three-dimensional landscape are described. In some aspects, observed market values for multiple sets of future financial payoffs are received. For example, the future financial payoffs can be based on derivatives contracts, bonds, or other types of financial instruments. A three-dimensional landscape of the observed market values is generated. The three-dimensional landscape includes groups of discrete graphical elements representing the sets of future financial payoffs. Each of the discrete graphical elements has a visual attribute that represents the observed market value for one of the future financial payoffs. The discrete graphical elements in each group are positioned in proximity to each other in the three-dimensional landscape to allow visual comparison of the observed market values for the set of future financial payoffs represented by the group.

Abstract: This disclosure involves systems, methods, and software for viewing, managing, or otherwise analyzing financial securities utilizing a three-dimensional display of related data and metrics. This disclosure describes techniques that facilitate the combination of financial data with 3D search technology to provide a user-friendly view and analysis of securities market data. The intuitive visual landscape offers a contextual picture that allows the user to display several layers of information simultaneously. Moreover, the disclosure describes this intuitive mechanism for looking at financial markets and identifying opportunities within a multi-dimensional landscape linked to additional integrated data panes, thus helping enable rapid analysis. The techniques may utilize or facilitate customizable metrics, seamless system compatibility, and integrated portfolio tools. The securities landscape may allow on-the-fly changes to quickly answer user queries.
