Abstract
Abstract Method and apparatus for providing visualization of information contained in a data set is provided. The data set is arranged in first and second categories of data, and a selection variable and a summary variable are chosen from the second category of data. A unique value is located in the first category of data which matches each selection variable, and a statistical summary of the summary variables is computed for each located unique value in the first category of data. The resultant display is based on the computation of the statistical summary.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of providing visualization of information contained in a data set, the data set comprising a first category of data represented by visualization elements and a second category of data represented by various attributes of said visualization elements, the method comprising the steps of: choosing a first data subset from the second category of data as selection variable; from the visualization elements of the first category of data, locating elements having a particular value of the selection variable; for the located elements, computing the number of distinct values of the telephone numbers at which telephone calls are terminated for each unique terminating country; and generating a display based on the computation of the numbers of distinct values.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of providing visualization of information contained in a data set, the data set comprising a first category of data represented by visualization elements and a second category of data represented by various attributes of said visualization elements, the method comprising the steps of: choosing a first data subset from the second category of data as selection variable; from the visualization elements of the first category of data, locating elements having a particular value of the selection variable; for the located elements, computing the number of distinct values of the telephone numbers at which telephone calls are terminated for each unique terminating country; and generating a display based on the computation of the numbers of distinct values.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A method of providing visualization in accordance with claim 1, further including the steps of: choosing a second data subset from the second category of data as a summary variable; and computing a two dimensional statistical summary for the located visualization elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
A method of providing visualization in accordance with claim 1, further including the steps of: choosing a second data subset from the second category of data as a summary variable; and computing a statistical summary for the located visualization elements, said computed statistical summary having more than two dimensional.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein said selection variable is a designation for a particular number data field at which number a telephone call is initiated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein said computing step includes the calculation of a diversity measure.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
A method in accordance with claim 1, further including a step for extracting the data set from a database.
