Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method for transitioning a displayed visualization from a first state to a second state. An example method includes displaying an orbit visualization characterized by a first state, wherein the orbit visualization includes a parent node and one or more child nodes positioned about a first orbit path that at least partially circumscribes the parent node; selectively initiating navigation of the orbit visualization; transitioning display of the parent node and one or more child nodes in accordance with the navigation by animating repositioning of the parent node and the one or more child nodes on a user interface display screen, such that a resulting node positioning characterizes the orbit visualization in the second state representative of a navigated-to location. The navigation may represent a downward or upward navigation of hierarchically related data, such that the animation illustrates separation of one or more petals from a selected node or movement toward the selected node, respectively.

First claim
