Ericsson—mass device tree
visualization
Ericsson / Team Lead + Designer / Hyper Island Project / 2021
Our task was to create a conceptual prototype to visualise large hierarchy
of large accounts/mass devices. The target user should be able to search
and traverse through the organisation hierarchy easily and quickly.
Problem Statement
An HTML-based prototype (with navigation journeys included) that
visualizes a very large hierarchy of nodes/massive devices.
Target Audience
Account Manager (Intermediate competence level)
Goals
1. Smooth navigation from a global view of a distributed hierarchy to a leave level
2. Conceptual Prototype (Adobe XD)
3. User testing with proxy user from Ericsson
4. Optional: Responsiveness for several devices (active alerts or node status)
Scope and Constraints
– Visualizing a distributed tree structure
– Design should solve multiple use cases
– Research and design process done parallely
– Time in relation to the size of the project (1 month)

Rephrase the Problem
How might we help the intermediate user
to navigate trough huge amount of data in
an more efficient way?



Prototyping
We had a difficult time wrapping our
heads around this massive brief so we
used prototyping to understand the brief.
We created many different variations and
iterations to understand what makes the
most sense.






“Very clear overall picture, very
nice design pattern. Really nice
work, guys!”
Alexandros Katsoulis
Strategic Product Manager at Ericsson
“This prototype is a huge upgrade
from what we are using now.”
Magnus Söderlund
Project manager at Ericsson
“I like it! Nice work guys, you
can be proud of this work!”
Patrik Algotsson
UX Architect at Ericsson
“What you have accomplished
in almost 4 weeks is quite
remarkable! It could be applied
across various usecases with
minimal additional effort.”
