Abstract
A GUI system for accessing and displaying computer network data dynamically. Network data regarding network devices and interfaces are typed into different categories. Each Data Unit type is represented with a specific graphic element for data display and data accessing.
Claims20
A system for managing and displaying computer network data of a computer network, the method comprising:
- a plurality of computer processers for running and executing a set of computer component modules, said set of computer component modules comprising:
- a set of the computer network data comprising information of at least one of:
- a device, an interface and a topology of the computer network;
- a plurality of Data Unit components, each Data Unit component containing a particular section of said set of computer network data, wherein each individual Data Unit component respectively includes a positioning element that stores a displaying indication for image-display of said particular section of said set of computer network data in a computer network GUI presented on a display;
- and
- a plurality of Data View components, each Data View component containing a particular subset of said plurality of Data Unit components,
- whereby a user is able to view a subset of the set of computer network data by displaying a Data View component in the computer network GUI presented on the display,
- wherein the displaying indication in the Data Unit component positioning element defines where the computer network data will be displayed relative to a symbol presented on the display,
- wherein the displayed symbol is one of a device symbol corresponding to a device in the computer network and a link symbol corresponding to a link between devices in the computer network, and
- wherein the displaying indication identifies one of a plurality of locations below the device symbol or one of a plurality of locations along the link symbol.

A method of managing computer network data of a computer network using a GUI system, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of computer processers for running and executing the steps of:
- creating at least one Data View Template component in a GUI wherein said at least one Data View Template comprises a plurality of display-positions for image-displaying a plurality of computer network parameters of the computer network;
- creating a plurality of Data Unit components, each Data Unit component containing one of said plurality of computer network parameters and one of said plurality of display-positions, said plurality of Data Unit components being encapsulated inside said at least one Data View Template component;
- applying said at least one Data View Template to a computer network Map corresponding to the computer network;
- and
- creating a plurality of Data View components using said at least one Data View Template, wherein each Data View component includes a plurality of Data Unit components containing network parameters from an individual device in said computer network Map,
- wherein the display-position in the Data Unit component defines where the computer network parameters will be displayed relative to a symbol presented on the display,
- wherein the displayed symbol is one of a device symbol corresponding to a device in the computer network and a link symbol corresponding to a link between devices in the computer network, and
- wherein the display-position identifies one of a plurality of locations below the device symbol or one of a plurality of locations along the link symbol.
6 more elements
A method for managing computer network data of a computer network using a GUI system, comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of computer processers for running and executing the steps of:
- inputting a set of the computer network data comprising information of at least one of:
- a device, an interface and a topology of the computer network, into a set of Data Unit components, each individual Data Unit component containing a particular section of said set of computer network data, wherein each individual Data Unit component respectively includes a positioning element that stores a displaying indication for image-display of said particular section of the set of computer network data in a computer network GUI presented on a display;
- creating a plurality of Data View components, each Data View component containing a particular subset of said plurality of Data Unit components;
- and
- displaying a Data View component in a computer network map presented on the display,
- whereby a user can view the subset of network data contained in the particular subset of Data Unit components,
- wherein the displaying indication in the Data Unit component positioning element defines where the computer network data will be displayed relative to a symbol presented on the display,
- wherein the displayed symbol is one of a device symbol corresponding to a device in the computer network and a link symbol corresponding to a link between devices in the computer network, and
- wherein the displaying indication identifies one of a plurality of locations below the device symbol or one of a plurality of locations along the link symbol.
