Single-Window Financial Market Data Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Financial market information systems typically provide limited and static views of market data, requiring multiple windows and lacking real-time, multidimensional representations, which hinders efficient data retrieval and transaction execution.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for displaying financial market information in a single window with a multidimensional graphical representation, including real-time updates, allowing users to view and interact with multiple financial instruments, facilitating transactions and data analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If financial market information is displayed using traditional separate windows for each instrument, then each window can be simple and focused, but the system requires multiple windows and screens to display comprehensive market data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate window displays into a single integrated window that shows market information for multiple financial instruments simultaneously. The display consolidates what would traditionally require multiple separate windows into one unified view, allowing users to see comprehensive market data without switching between windows or screens.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a third dimension (depth) to the display by showing multiple instruments stacked or layered within a single window. Instead of spreading information across multiple 2D windows, the system packs information into one window by utilizing depth organization, allowing comprehensive data visibility in a compact space.
2Loss of information
If the system displays detailed market information for multiple instruments, then information completeness improves, but the display complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display into distinct organizational layers or sections within the single window, where different financial instruments or types of information are separated into manageable segments. This segmentation allows the system to handle and display complex multi-instrument data without overwhelming the user interface or processing system.
3Productivity
If traditional separate window displays are used, then data processing for each window can be simple and focused, but transaction execution speed decreases due to navigation between windows
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple instrument displays into a single window, eliminating the need for users to navigate between separate windows to view different instruments or execute transactions. This merging of displays directly reduces navigation time and accelerates transaction execution by keeping all relevant information and controls accessible in one view.
4Loss of information
If the system provides static market information displays, then system simplicity is maintained, but real-time market dynamics and relationships are not effectively communicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses dimensional organization within the display to represent market relationships and dynamics. By arranging information in multiple dimensions (such as stacking instruments along a depth axis or using multi-level organizational structures), the system effectively communicates complex market dynamics and interrelationships without requiring overly complex graphical processing.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method are provided for managing financial market information. According to certain embodiments, the system includes a computer having a memory, processor, and display. The processor is capable of generating a graphical depiction of the financial market information on the display. The graphical depiction includes a multidimensional representation of a broad range of market information for at least two financial instruments. The graphical depiction resides in a single window on the display. The financial instruments may include multiple different classes of financial instruments, such as treasuries and futures. Different instruments may be selected and information, including basis information, relevant to the selected instruments may be displayed in a second window.
