Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system is described for displaying a plurality of associated items in a collaborative environment. The system may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory may store items, each item associated with another item. The processor may provide the graphical representation of the items to a user where each item is represented by a shape. The processor may receive a request to associate a first metric of the items with a size of each shape and a request to associate a second metric of the items with a color of each shape. The processor may transform the graphical representation such that the size of each shape is based on the value of the first metric of each item, and the color of each shape is based on the value of the second metric of each item. The processor may provide the transformed graphical representation to the user.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A computer-implemented method for providing a graphical representation of a plurality of items in a collaborative innovation environment, the method comprising: initiating a collaborative innovation process with a seed item wherein the seed item includes an idea, a question, an opinion or a statement for which a result is sought, and innovating one or more idea items directly or indirectly in response to the seed item to determine the result for the seed item based on…
