Abstract
A graphical chart indicating values for different types of shares of a business enterprise are described. A server can provide data representing price per share and enterprise values for a graphical chart. A selected enterprise value for the business enterprise can be received and values of different types of shares at that selected enterprise value can be determined. Data indicating the values of the different shares can then be provided for display upon the graphical chart.
Claims20
A computer-readable storage medium, excluding transitory signals and carrying instructions, which, when executed by at least one data processor of a system, cause the system to:
- generate a graphical chart representing a price per share relative to a range of values for different types of shares of an enterprise;
- determine a first value for the enterprise based on a first position of an indicator on the graphical chart,
- wherein the first position is determined based on user input;
- determine a first set of values for the different types of shares based on the first value;
- cause display of a graphic overlay including content indicative of the first set of values for the different types of shares,
- wherein the content of the graphic overlay is based on the first position of the indicator;
- determine a second value for the enterprise based on a second position of the indicator on the graphical chart,
- wherein the second position is different from the first position;
- and
- dynamically update the content of the graphic overlay based on the second position of the indicator on the graphical chart,
- wherein the updated content is indicative of a second set of values for the different types of shares.
A method comprising:
- causing display of a graphical chart representing a price per share relative to a range of values for different types of shares of an enterprise;
- dynamically determining a set of values for the different types of shares based on a position of an indicator on the graphical chart;
- causing display of a graphic overlay including content indicative of the set of values for the different types of shares,
- wherein the position is movable based on user input, and
- wherein the content of the graphic overlay is determined based on the position of the indicator;
- and
- dynamically updating the content of the graphic overlay based on a new position of the indicator on the graphical chart,
- wherein the updated content is indicative of a new set of values for the different types of shares.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
- cause display of a graphical chart indicating a price per share relative to a range of values for different types of shares of an enterprise;
- determine a first set of values for the different types of shares based on a first position of an indicator on the graphical chart;
- cause display of a graphic overlay including content indicative of the first set of values for the different types of shares,
- wherein the content of the graphic overlay is based on the first position of the indicator;
- determine a second position of the indicator on the graphical chart, wherein the second position is different from the first position;
- and
- dynamically update the content of the graphic overlay based on the second position of the indicator on the graphical chart,
- wherein the updated content is indicative of a second set of values for the different types of shares.
