Abstract: The present document describes a system for generating a graphical user interface for display by a client computer. The system comprises a server, with various components, for communicating with a plurality of client computers. The server is made to get in a database memory a plurality of pieces of conceptual information and a first threshold associated to a first user account, and a plurality of pieces of conceptual information and a second threshold associated to a second user account; to determine if the relative numbers of pieces of conceptual information that the first user account and the second user account have in common both exceed the first threshold and the second threshold, respectively; and to generate a graphical user interface dataset and sending the graphical user interface dataset to the first client computer for display, the graphical user interface suggesting a connection to the second user account.

Abstract: A system of displaying hierarchical information in a user interface includes displaying a first plurality of icons aligned in a first arc course on a display device, selecting one of the first plurality of icons using a user input device, rotating the first plurality of icons to position the selected one of the first plurality of icons to a front position of the first arc course in response to the selecting to define a first selection indicator and displaying a second plurality of icons aligned along a second-level arc course, the second-level arc course displayed adjacent to and positioned co-axial with the first arc course, and the second plurality of icons representing sub-hierarchical data for the first selection indicator.
