Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of setting alert thresholds in the context of a real-time dashboard chart. An application program displays a graphical user interface (GUI) and dynamically updates a chart of real-time event data. The chart includes an event threshold bar displayed concurrently with the real-time event data. If the real-time event data has exceeded an event threshold value that corresponds to a position of the event threshold bar, the application program executes a pre-defined response function. If a click and drag input is received while a cursor is located over a graphically-textured handle located on an end of the event threshold bar, the application program moves the event threshold bar to a new location and updates a numerical threshold value that corresponds to the position of the event threshold bar. The numerical threshold value and a unique identification symbol are displayed in close proximity to the graphically-textured handle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: generating a two-dimensional chart that includes at least a first event threshold bar and a second event threshold bar, wherein an event threshold bar is a graphical line corresponding to a numerical threshold value that extends from a location along an axis of said two-dimensional chart, wherein said numerical threshold value for a particular event threshold bar corresponds to a current position of said particular event threshold bar, w…
