Abstract: An improved interface and display method is disclosed for clearly delineating a characteristic of a data item through a visual indicator. In the case of stock quotes, price and volume information available online may be real-time, delayed, opening, closing or after-hours. To identify such time distinctions, different color/symbol visual indicators are used, such as, for example, different colored traffic lights corresponding to the various types of data. The invention is particularly useful for complying with various trading exchange regulations in small form factor display applications, as such regulations can vary from exchange to exchange, and at the same time require clear delineation to an end user as to the type of information being viewed.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种改进的接口和显示方法，用于通过视觉指示器清楚地描绘数据项的特性。 在股票报价的情况下，在线提供的价格和数量信息可能是实时的，延迟的，开放的，关闭的或者是下班后的。 为了识别这种时间差异，使用不同的颜色/符号视觉指示器，例如，对应于各种类型的数据的不同颜色的交通灯。 本发明对于遵守小尺寸显示应用中的各种交易交换规则特别有用，因为这种规则可以根据交换到交换而变化，并且同时要求最终用户对正在查看的信息的类型进行明确的划分。
