Abstract:
1. A data transformation method for transforming relationship data for a plurality of members of a social media network stored in a social media database system into graphical user interface data for display on a display screen of an internet access device by a server system comprising the steps of: determining by said server system first celestial coordinate values for a first member of said social media network; transmitting by said server system a query to said social media database system for obtaining first data from said social media database system, said first data comprising said relationship data, said relationship data comprising data identifying a second member of said social media network having a first social media relationship with said first member; determining by said server system second celestial coordinate values for said second member; transforming by said server system said relationship data into said graphical user interface data by performing the steps of: generating by said server system a first image element for said first member; generating by said server system a second image element for said second member; generating by said server system a first linking image element indicating said first social media relationship between said first and second members; generating by said server system a first graphical user interface comprising said first and second image elements and said linking image element; said first image element being located on said graphical user interface at a first location determined by said server system by transforming said first celestial coordinate values into first user interface coordinate values; said second image element being located on said graphical user interface at a second location determined by said server system by transforming said second celestial coordinate values into second user interface coordinate values; transmitting by said server system said graphical user interface to said internet access device.
