Systems and methods for dashboard image generation

Abstract

Systems and methods for generating a dashboard image for viewing on a remote computing device. The system may include a business database storing a plurality of business values; a dashboard generator; an image generator and a web page generator. The dashboard generator may be configured to derive a plurality of key performance indicator values from the database and generate a corresponding dashboard. The image generator may be configured to generate the dashboard image corresponding to the dashboard. The web page generator may be operatively coupled to the image generator and configured to generate a dashboard web page corresponding to the dashboard image. The method may include: receiving a dashboard image request from the remote computing device; deriving a plurality of key performance indicator values from a business database; creating a dashboard image corresponding to the key performance indicator values; generating a dashboard web page corresponding to the dashboard image.

1 . A method for generating a dashboard image for viewing on a remote computing device, the method comprising:
 a) Receiving a dashboard image request from the remote computing device;   b) deriving a plurality of key performance indicator values from a business database;   c) creating a dashboard image corresponding to the key performance indicator values; and   d) generating a dashboard web page corresponding to the dashboard image.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dashboard web page is accessed by the remote computing device. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dashboard image request is communicated via the Internet. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dashboard image request corresponds to a URL. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising communicating a message corresponding to the dashboard image request to the remote computing device. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the message is communicated via the Internet. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the message comprises the dashboard image. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the dashboard image request corresponds to a URL and wherein the message corresponds to the URL. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the dashboard web page corresponds to the URL. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dashboard image is created on an image creating computer and wherein the remote computing device is remote from the image creating computer. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dashboard image request comprises at least one parameter and wherein the dashboard image corresponds to the at least one parameter. 
     
     
         12 . A system for generating a dashboard image for viewing on a remote computing device, the system comprising:
 a) a business database storing a plurality of business values;   b) a dashboard generator configured to derive a plurality of key performance indicator values from the business database and generate a dashboard corresponding to the plurality of key performance indicator values;   c) an image generator configured to generate the dashboard image, wherein the dashboard image corresponds to the dashboard;   d) a web page generator operatively coupled to the image generator and configured to generate a web page corresponding to the dashboard image.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the web page generator is operatively coupled to the dashboard generator. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the web page is configured to receive a dashboard image request from the remote computing device. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the dashboard image request is communicated via the Internet. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the dashboard image request corresponds to a URL. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the dashboard generator is configured to communicate a message corresponding to the dashboard image request to the remote computing device. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the message is communicated via the Internet. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the message comprises the dashboard image. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the dashboard web page corresponds to the URL. 
     
     
         21 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the image generator comprises an image creating computer and wherein the remote computing device is remote from the image creating computer. 
     
     
         22 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the dashboard image request comprises at least one parameter and wherein the dashboard image corresponds to the at least one parameter.
