Abstract
Devices, methods, and systems for hands free facility status alerts are described herein. One system includes a computing device for hands free building automation notifications, comprising a memory and a processor to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to: receive a notification of an event from a building automation system, modify the notification to include only pre-defined attributes of the notification that are displayable on a user interface of a wearable device, and transmit the modified notification to the wearable device.
Claims20
A computing device for interfacing building automation notifications with a mobile device, the computing device comprising a memory and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive an input building automation notification of an event from a building automation system, the received input building automation notification having a plurality of attributes related to the event;
- provide an output building automation notification that includes only pre-defined ones of the plurality of attributes of the input building automation notification, wherein the pre-defined ones of the plurality of attributes include less than all of the plurality of attributes of the input building automation notification but include three or more of a source attribute associated with the event, a priority level attribute associated with the event, a category attribute that defines a type of the event, a condition attribute that defines a condition associated with the event, and trend information that defines data over a period of time corresponding to the event;
- transmit the output building automation notification to the mobile device for alerting a user of the event;
- receive user input transmitted by the mobile device that includes an input from the user of the mobile device for responding to the event;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input from the mobile device, notify the building automation system of the received user input.
A method for interfacing building automation notifications with a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving an input building automation notification of an event from a building automation system, the received input building automation notification having a plurality of attributes related to the event;
- providing an output building automation notification that includes only pre-defined ones of the plurality of attributes of the input building automation notification, wherein the pre-defined ones include less than all of the plurality of attributes of the input building automation notification, wherein the predefined ones of the plurality of attributes include an attribute that indicates whether a condition associated with the event has crossed a threshold and an attribute that indicates a quantity of time since receiving the input building automation notification;
- abbreviating at least one of the pre-defined attributes of the output building automation notification relative to the corresponding one of the plurality of attributes of the input building automation notification;
- transmit the output building automation notification to the mobile device for alerting a user of the event;
- receive user input transmitted by the mobile device that includes an input from the user of the mobile device for responding to the event;
- and
- notify the building automation system of the received user input.
A mobile device for managing building automation notifications of a building automation system, the mobile device comprising:
- a user interface;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive a notification of an event detected by the building automation system, the received notification includes a plurality of condensed attributes related to attributes of a corresponding building automation notification provided by the building automation system, wherein the plurality of condensed attributes include less than all of the attributes of the corresponding building automation notification provided by the building automation system and at least one of the attributes is abbreviated relative to a corresponding attribute of the corresponding building automation notification provided by the building automation system, wherein the predefined ones of the plurality of attributes include an attribute that indicates whether a condition associated with the event has crossed a threshold;
- display the received notification on the user interface of the mobile device and an indication of a quantity of time since the notification;
- receive feedback by selecting, via the user interface of the mobile device, one of a plurality of predetermined responses for responding to the event;
- and
- send the feedback to a remote device.
