20140111351 | MULTIDIMENSIONAL INFORMATION GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR ENERGY SYSTEMS - Aspects of interaction with multidimensional information for an energy system are disclosed. The use of multidimensional information in a graphical user interface can facilitate efficient communication of information related to energy systems. Energy system information can be classified. A multidimensional information interface can include a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns populated with tokens representing energy system information, based on the classification of the energy system information. The tokens can be selectable tokens such that selection of tokens can be related to accessing detailed information related to the token. In some embodiments, indicators, particularly visual indicators, can be employed to convey additional information, such as counts, selection status, sums of rows or columns, etc. Further, augmentation effects can be employed to facilitate access to an additional layer of information, such as freshness of a token, acknowledged tokens, etc. | 04-24-2014 |
