Abstract:

The present solution addresses the displaying of multiple levels of information in a constrained display footprint in a manner that allows a user to be vigilant over the information. Systems and methods are described herein for organizing data and information queries against data sources in a relational display with hierarchical grids, linked to query results, score displays, and alert monitoring. In an embodiment of the present solution, a system allows an analyst to view results and status from monitoring numerous and persistent queries against real-time data streams. Many of these queries may be inter-related and composed in a way to comprehensively analyze a problem. To display, monitor, and interact with a collection of queries, the present solution provides a relational display that makes use of a set of grids via a feature referred to as “grid of grids”. The grids may be arranged in a hierarchy of any number of levels. For example, the grids may be arranged as a directed acyclic graph to facilitate nesting of grids, in which the grids are expanded according to the complexity and levels of granularity in the decomposition of queries for a problem or domain of interest.

Abstract:

Special service call processing, such as 800 processing, is improved in accordance with the present invention. A data base includes a customer subscription record segment which stores call processing data keyed at least in part on a dialed 800 number. The subscription record for a customer is hierarchical in that it includes a head entry (for customers using basic or immediate service). The head entry for customers using advanced service, when accessed, produces Originating Area ID identification (OAID). Subsequent accesses to the data base use the OAID in order to access additional records for chronological time processing. Those additional records may include time band or day band arrays. Accessing a day band array will produce a Day Band ID identification (DBID). The DBID can be used on a subsequent access to identify a time band array.
