Abstract
A building management system includes a first device of building equipment, a camera, and a user interface system. The camera collects a first camera feed displaying an image of the first device of building equipment. The user interface system is configured to receive the camera feed displaying the image of the first device. The user interface system is also configured to generate an augmented user interface by overlaying onto the camera feed a first selectable option associated with a first command to be performed on the first device. The user interface system is also configured to perform the first command on the first device in response to a user selecting the first selectable option via the augmented user interface.
Claims20
A building management system comprising:
- a first device of building equipment;
- a camera that collects a first camera feed displaying an image of the first device of building equipment;
- and
- a user interface system configured to:
- receive the camera feed displaying the image of the first device;
- generate an augmented user interface by overlaying onto the camera feed a first selectable option associated with a first command to be performed on the first device;
- and
- perform the first command on the first device in response to a user selecting the first selectable option via the augmented user interface.
A method for providing a building management system to an operator, the method comprising:
- receiving a camera feed from a camera of a video management system;
- detecting a first device of building equipment in the camera feed;
- requesting, in response to detecting the first device in the camera feed, information about the first device from the building management system;
- receiving, in response to requesting the information about the first device from the building management system, the information about the first device from the building management system;
- overlaying, in response to receiving the information about the first device, the information about the first device on the camera feed, forming an augmented user interface.
A user interface system comprising:
- a video management system that receives a camera feed from one of a plurality of cameras positioned within a building;
- a building management system that includes a plurality of components associated within the building;
- a security management system that stores a plurality of commands associated with at least one of the plurality of components;
- a processing circuit that receives the camera feed from the video management system and that is communicable with the building management system and the security management system;
- and
- a display device that receives an augmented user interface from the processing circuit, the augmented user interface created by overlaying the camera feed with at least one of i) information related to at least one of the components;
- and ii) at least one of the commands.
