Provided are systems and methods for visualizing spatio-temporal data of a user location. In one example, the method may include receiving spatio-temporal movement information of a first user device associated with a first user, and receiving spatio-temporal movement information of a second user device associated with a second user, identifying a point in time when the first user and the second user could have met based on the received spatio-temporal movement information of the first and second user devices, outputting, via a user interface, a first timeline indicating movement of the first user device over time and a second timeline indicating movement of the second user device over time, and displaying a visual indicator with respect to the first and second timelines indicating the identified point in time when the first and second users could have met.

Visualization of spatio-temporal location

Location information for a plurality of target subjects can be depicted as a plurality of routes with indications of respective contemporaneous locations of the target subjects at a point in time. A graphical slider can be used to update the visualization to depict contemporaneous locations of the target subjects at a different point in time. A point on one of the routes can be activated to update the visualization to depict contemporaneous locations of the target subjects at a different point in time. Metrics for characteristics of the location data can be displayed proximate the slider. Other features provide a user interface that allows for a rich set of visualization functionality.

Visualization of spatial motion activities for E-forensics

A current use context can be extracted based on concrete data related to a currently displayed user interface feature in a business software architecture user interface environment. Relevant related business objects and transactional data for concrete instances of a process or scenario relevant to the current use context can be identified and a specific business object instance can be determined from a plurality of business object instances related to a specific current instance of the process or scenario relevant to the current use context. At least one target user interface feature associated with the process or scenario can be pre-populated with at least one parameter specific to a current data entry state of the specific current instance of the process or scenario and displayed via a user interface.

Launch of target user interface features based on specific business process instances

A business scenario landscape map can show a scenario-centric view of a business scenario landscape that includes business scenarios accessible to members of an organization and supported by a business software architecture. In the scenario-centric view, first user interface elements can be arranged to show a linear representation of business process features of a selected business scenario and a visual depiction of relationships between the selected business scenario and other business scenarios. Upon receiving selection of a first user interface element(s) related to another business scenario, at least some of the first user interface elements can be rearranged to show a new scenario-centric view of the business scenario landscape in which business process features of the newly selected business scenario are arranged in a new linear representation including a visual depiction of relationships between the newly selected business scenario, the originally selected business scenario, and/or relationships with other additional scenarios.

Visualizing business processes or scenarios in a business software model using transit maps

A definition of a new user interface feature of a business software architecture supporting a business configuration used by an organization can be received and a rule in a scenario model of a business scenario can be accordingly modified to associate the new user interface feature with business process feature(s) of the business scenario. A selection of a business process feature received as a user interaction with first user interface elements arranged in a linear order in a navigation pane of a user interface to represent at least some of the plurality of business process features of the business process can result in the concurrent display via the user interface of a work frame comprising the new user interface feature.

Dynamic enhancement of context matching rules for business scenario models

A single meta-model can include metadata defining a business scenario landscape that includes business scenarios accessible to members of an organization that are supported by a business software architecture. The metadata can include business process definitions and relationships between business processes. A user interface can present first, second, and/or third visualization layers based on the metadata. The first visualization layer can include first user interface elements forming a business scenario landscape map showing business scenarios and at least one relationship between the business scenarios. The second visualization layer can include second user interface elements displayed in a navigation pane concurrently with a work pane. The second user interface elements can represent a linear sequence of second business processes of a business scenario while the work pane can include additional user interface elements corresponding to functionality provided by the business software architecture relating to a currently selected business process.

Seamless morphing from scenario model to system-based instance visualization

Transactional data associated with a specific instance of a business scenario that includes an intersecting process feature requiring prerequisite action by a prerequisite process feature that is part of another business scenario can be linked to a scenario model providing a linearized representation in which other process features of the business scenario, the intersecting process feature, and the prerequisite process feature are arranged in a linear sequence. A navigation pane including a linear progression of user interface elements representing the linear sequence can be concurrently displayed with a work pane including other user interface elements corresponding to functionality provided by business software architecture features related to a currently selected process feature. The navigation pane display can expand at a selected user interface element to display additional user interface elements corresponding to process features involved in completion of the process feature corresponding to the selected first user interface element.
