Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2799855A1] The system uses a series of keys in order to aid classification of products within a structured diagram. The method provides a variable hierarchical structure in an information processing system. The method includes creation of a two-dimensional data table with one action corresponding to each line. At least two columns of keys are provided containing data relating to categories of actions, with one column of actions which the process is intended to trigger. An order is defined for navigating the key columns, and using this order, a tree structure is created with a number of node levels equal to the number of key columns plus one. Each node contains at least one heading corresponding to a category or action data item from the data table and an identifier. It thus possible to display menus using the headings contained in the different nodes, or a graphical representation of the tree structure created.
