System and method for dynamic display of legend

1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically adjusting a legend of a graphical user interface using an electronic device comprising one or more processors, a user input device, and a display unit, the method comprising:

receiving, via the user input device, a first input indicating a first altitude value;

retrieving, via the one or more processors, weather information corresponding to the first input;

generating, using the one or more processors, a command signal for displaying a legend having a color-code or shading-code associated with a plurality of attributes included in the retrieved weather information;

displaying the legend, on the display unit, in association with the retrieved weather information;

receiving, via the user input device, a second input indicating a second altitude value different from the first altitude value;

retrieving, via the one or more processors, second weather information corresponding to the second altitude value; and

altering, using the one or more processors, at least one characteristic of the legend based on the second weather information.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the step of retrieving weather information comprises retrieving a wind temperature value or a wind speed value for at least one geographical location and at the first altitude value.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising displaying, on the display unit, the retrieved weather information on a map of the at least one geographical location using graphics in accordance with the color-code or the shading-code.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the step of displaying the legend comprises displaying a plurality of segments configured to collectively form the legend, each segment representing a different attribute of the retrieved weather information.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the step of generating a command signal for displaying the legend comprises assigning a unique color or shading to each segment of the legend according to the color-code or shading-code.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the step of generating a command signal for displaying the legend comprises:

identifying a minimum value and a maximum value of the plurality of attributes included in the retrieved weather information; and

determining a total number of segments to include in the legend based on the minimum and maximum values.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the step of generating a command signal for displaying the legend further comprises:

determining a dimension of each segment of the legend based on an identification of a display size of the display unit; and

determining the total number of segments based further on the identification of the display size.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one characteristic of the legend comprises one of the attributes represented by the legend and included in the retrieved weather information.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one characteristic of the legend comprises a color or shading representing one of the attributes included in the retrieved weather information.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one characteristic of the legend comprises a select one of a plurality of segments configured to collectively form the legend, each segment representing a different attribute of the retrieved weather information.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the step of altering at least one characteristic of the legend comprises changing a total number of segments included in the legend based on the retrieved weather information.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one characteristic of the legend comprises an overall range of attributes represented by the legend.

13. A system comprising:

a display unit;

a user input device configured to receive a first input indicating a first altitude value and a second input indicating a second altitude value different from the first altitude value;

one or more processors; and

memory configured to store one or more programs,

the one or more programs being configured for execution by the one or more processors and including instructions for:

retrieving weather information corresponding to the first input;

generating a command signal for displaying a legend having a color-code or shading-code associated with a plurality of attributes included in the retrieved weather information;

displaying the legend, on the display unit, in association with the retrieved weather information;

retrieving second weather information corresponding to the second altitude value; and

altering at least one characteristic of the legend based on the second weather information.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the retrieved weather information comprises a wind temperature value or a wind speed value for at least one geographical location and at the first altitude value.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions which, when executed by an electronic device comprising a user input device and a display unit, cause the electronic device to:

receive, via the user input device, a first input indicating a first altitude value;

retrieve weather information corresponding to the first input;

generate a command signal for displaying a legend having a color-code or shading-code associated with a plurality of attributes included in the retrieved weather information;

display the legend, on the display unit, in association with the retrieved weather information;

receive a second input indicating a second altitude value different from the first altitude value;

retrieve second weather information corresponding to the second altitude value; and

alter at least one characteristic of the legend based on the second weather information.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the retrieved weather information comprises a wind temperature value or a wind speed value for at least one geographical location and at the first altitude value.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the electronic device to display the retrieved weather information on a map of the at least one geographical location using graphics in accordance with the color code or the shading-code.
