  • Method of selecting and representing time-varying data
    Patent number: 6148308
    Abstract: A method of selecting and representing time-varying data from a time-relational database management system by providing a unified view on a computer display screen. The data from a master record for a particular entity is displayed with a default video or character attribute, and is considered to be the current record. Accessing a history record for that entity causes the data for fields that differ from the corresponding fields of the current record to be overlaid on such current record fields but with a video or character attribute distinct from the default video or character attribute. The overlaid current record becomes a new current record for further overlays. Similarly, accessing a pending record causes the data for fields that differ from the corresponding fields of the current record to be overlaid on such current record fields but with a video or character attribute distinct from the default video or character attribute.
