Apparatuses, Methods and Systems for Hierarchical Multidimensional Information Interfaces

A hierarchical multidimensional information interface processor-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving interactive display information from a pointer to a hierarchy of paired menu item information and associated targets;
• generating a first menu pane of menu items from a first hierarchical level of information from the received interactive display information;
• providing received interactive display information to a user in use navigable hierarchical information panes;
• monitoring user interactions with the user navigable hierarchical information panes;
• and
• updating the appearance of the user navigable hierarchical information panes based on the monitored user interactions, wherein inactive menu panes are generated through user selections of menu items in active menu panes, and wherein inactive panes become more visible as a user moves a selection indicator closer to the inactive, pane.

A hierarchical multidimensional information interface processor-implemented system, comprising:

• means to receive interactive display information from a pointer to a hierarchy of paired menu item information and associated targets;
• means to generate a first menu pane of menu items from a first hierarchical level of information from the received interactive display information;
• means to provide received interactive display information to a user in user navigable hierarchical information panes;
• means to monitor user interactions with the user navigable hierarchical information panes;
• and
• means to update the appearance of the user navigable hierarchical information panes based on the monitored user interactions, wherein inactive menu panes are generated through user selections of menu items in active menu panes, and wherein inactive panes become more visible as a user moves a selection indicator closer to the inactive pane.

A hierarchical multidimensional information interface computer readable non-transitory storage medium encoded with processing instructions, performed by a computer, the medium comprising processing instructions to instruct the processor to:

• receive interactive display information from a pointer to a hierarchy of paired menu item information and associated targets;
• generate a first menu pane of menu items from a first hierarchical level of information from the received interactive display information;
• provide received interactive display information to a user in user navigable hierarchical information panes;
• monitor user interactions with the user navigable hierarchical information panes;
• and
• update the appearance of the user navigable hierarchical information pane based on the monitored user interactions, wherein inactive menu panes are generated through user selections of menu items in active menu panes, and wherein inactive panes become more visible as a user moves a selection indicator closer to the inactive pane.

A hierarchical multidimensional information interface apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory in communication with the processor, the memory for storing a plurality of processing instructions directing the processor to:
• receive interactive display information from a pointer to a hierarchy of paired menu item information and associated targets;
• generate a first menu pane of menu items from a first hierarchical level of information from the received interactive display information;
• provide received interactive display information to a user in user navigable hierarchical information panes;
• monitor user interactions with the user navigable hierarchical information panes;
• and
• update the appearance of the user navigable hierarchical information panes based on the monitored use interactions, wherein inactive menu panes are generated through used selections of menu items in active menu panes, and wherein inactive panes become more visible as a user moves a selection indicator closer to the inactive pane.
