METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING MULTIPLE ELEMENTS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G06F17/30 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to viewing means for displaying multiple elements. Elements are assembled into multiple hierarchical levels, each hierarchical level comprising multiple sets of elements, each set comprising at least one of the multiple elements, and each element being associated therewith with at least one other element in another hierarchical level. An element is selected within the first hierarchical level. At least two sets of elements of at least one second hierarchical level (the second hierarchical level located on a level lower than the first hierarchical level) are assembled in an order defined selecting one of the elements and the ordered sets of the elements are displayed.

EFFECT: high efficiency of displaying multiple elements.
