Abstract
The invention provides a data visulisation system comprising a data value memory in which is maintained an interaction database of interaction data representing interactions between customers and merchants, the interaction data associated with at least one time value, a retrieval device arranged to retrieve from the interaction database data representing interactions between customers and merchants and to construct a finite set of data values from their retrieved data, a display arranged to display a first representation of the data values, and a pointing device enabling a user to select part of the first representation. The display is further arranged to generate and display a second representation based on the part of the first representation selected by the user.

A data visualisation system comprising:
- an interaction database of interaction data maintained in computer memory representing interactions between customers and merchants, the interaction data associated with at least one time value;
- a retrieval device configured to retrieve from the interaction database data representing interactions between customers and merchants and to construct a finite set of data values from the retrieved data;
- a display configured to display a grid of individual cells representing the data values, each cell representing a day and time interval;
- and
- a pointing device enabling a user to select a cell in the grid;
- the display further configured to generate and display at least one histogram based on the cell selected by the user, the histogram positioned in close proximity to the grid of individual cells.
A method of data visualisation comprising the steps of:
- maintaining in an interaction database interaction data representing interactions between customers and merchants, the interaction data associated with at least one time value;
- retrieving from the interaction database data representing interactions between customers and merchants;
- constructing a finite set of data values from the retrieved data;
- displaying a grid of individual cells representing the data values, each cell representing a day and time interval;
- providing a pointing device enabling a user to select a cell in the grid;
- and
- generating and displaying at least one histogram based on the cell selected by the user, the histogram positioned in close proximity to the grid of individual cells.
