Abstract
Methods and apparatus for generating, by a computer processor, a first status indicator and a second status indicator, generating a first attention value to indicate an amount of attention a user should devote to the first status indicator, and a second attention value to indicate an amount of attention the user should devote to the second status indicator, and outputting the first and second attention values to enable display for the user. The attention values may be generated based on reliability factors of the status indicators and on probability of failure of a control system.
Claims15
An article comprising:
- a storage medium having stored instructions that when executed by a machine result in the following:
- generating a first status indicator and a second status indicator;
- generating a first attention value to indicate an amount of attention a user should devote to the first status indicator, and a second attention value to indicate an amount of attention the user should devote to the second status indicator;
- and
- outputting the first and second attention values to enable display for the user.
A method comprising:
- generating, by a computer processor, a first status indicator and a second status indicator;
- generating a first attention value to indicate an amount of attention a user should devote to the first status indicator, and a second attention value to indicate an amount of attention the user should devote to the second status indicator;
- and
- outputting the first and second attention values to enable display for the user.
A system, comprising:
- a storage medium having stored instructions that when executed by a machine result in the following:
- a status indicator module to generate a first status indicator and a second status indicator;
- an attention apportioning module to generate a first attention value indicating an amount of attention a user should devote to the first status indicator, and a second attention value indicating an amount of attention the user should devote to the second status indicator;
- and
- an output module to output the first and second attention values to enable display for the user.
