Publication number: 20220358601Abstract: An apparatus includes a display, memory, and processor. The memory stores information associated with subaccounts of an account. The processor receives a request to display the information. The processor displays a table that includes the names of the subaccounts, premium payment allocation amounts assigned to the subaccounts, and values of the subaccounts. The processor displays a graphical illustration associated with the account, that includes a first set of sections associated with the allocation amounts and/or a second set of sections associated with the values. Each section defines an area on the display that is proportional to the corresponding allocation amount or value. The processor further receives an indication associated with one of the subaccounts. In response, the processor emphasizes the row of the table and at least one of the sections assigned to the subaccount.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2021Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Christopher Brian Potter, Brian James Perra, Lisa Marie Wark, Jeff Lee Dennie, David Nothnagel, Ava Posner, Linda Julian
