  • Patent number: 10826862
    Abstract: A system configured to generate and present hierarchical notifications is provided. The system may generate a notification structure comprising a plurality of notifications associated with a user, and output a top-level composite notification based on the notification structure. The system may receive a user command in response to the composite notification, and further output a lower-level composite notification based on the user-selected portion of the top-level composite notification identified by the user command. Further, the system may modify the notification structure based on the user command.

  • Patent number: 8914726
    Abstract: A user interface of a device for displaying a representation of a network of objects wherein a plurality of selectable objects are rendered, and each of the plurality of selectable objects are rendered having a given positioning relative to each other of the plurality of selectable objects. One or more edges are rendered interconnecting the plurality of selectable objects within a first region of the user interface. A second region is rendered in response to one or more of the selectable objects of the first region being selected. Objects corresponding to the selected objects are depicted in the second region while maintaining the given relative positioning. A number of additional objects may be retrieved from a database that indicates objects that are adjoining the corresponding objects. The adjoining objects are positioned in the second region and are interconnected to the corresponding objects by one or more additional edges.

  • Publication number: 20100138688
    Abstract: Devices and methods for modeling and analysis of services provided over a common network include a processor configured to track services connected to the common network through nodes and links; run service models associated with the services under selected conditions, the selected conditions including failure and repair of one of the nodes or links; and propose corrective action and/or change of network resources of the common network to minimize impact of the failure. The processor may also run Network models. The models may be executed successively or simultaneously, and outputs of one model may be used as input to other models, including any necessary conversions for compatibility.

  • Publication number: 20070097883
    Abstract: A new network topology visualization is produced from an existing network topology using grouping algorithms that are selectively applied to selectable hierarchies of the existing network topological hierarchy. The new network topology is rendered for review. Interaction may be provided through a graphical user interface (GUI). The new network topology is provided as a previewing visualization. The previewing visualization is provided in a tree-view. The previewing visualization provides a visual differentiation between portions of the network topology that are changed by the grouping algorithm and portions that are not changed. The grouping algorithms may be provided as plug-in algorithms. A further new network topology may be rendered in response to receipt of a changed network topology.
