Patent ID: 10345114

Abstract:
A method, and system for practicing the method, for processing measurable characteristics, by storing zero or more definitions of a threshold for one or more measurable characteristics, zero or more definitions of a conditional expression applicable to one or more measurable characteristics and one or more computable functions with inputs of zero or more of the measurable characteristics, zero or more of the definitions of a conditional expression, and zero or more of the definitions of a conditional expression are associated with an identifier. Data for one or more time intervals is received, and the computable functions are applied for each of the one or more time intervals, using a given identifier, to at least one measurable characteristic measurement, to produce one or more calculated desirability values. A graphical icon generated suitable for display on a display device based on the one or more calculated desirability values, wherein distinct graphical features of the icon at each of a plurality of points upon the icon are each determined based on the one or more calculated desirability values, where said one or more time intervals corresponds to a rotational angle of said point upon the icon and where 360 degrees of the rotational angle corresponds to some unit of time.
