Abstract
The invention is related to the field of control apparatus, and in particular, to control apparatus configured to allow a user to control the processing of data. In particular, this invention relates to controlling the processing of industrial plant data by controlling selection of a geographical area. The selection of a geographical area may be implemented by controlling a display using a user interface controller.
Claims15
A control apparatus comprising:
- memory comprising a database having data on industrial plant performance, each datum associated with a location;
- a display configured to display a map comprising a selected first geographical area, the first geographical area including a first subset of the corresponding locations in the database;
- a processor configured to perform a first statistical analysis on the industrial plant performance data associated with the first subset of the corresponding locations in the database, and to enable display of results of the first statistical analysis on the displayed map;
- a graphical user interface controller configured to allow the user to change the selected geographical area displayed from the first geographical area to a second geographical area, the second geographical area including a second subset of the corresponding locations in the database, the second subset being different from the first subset;
- and
- wherein the processor is configured, in response to a change in the geographical area being selected, to perform dynamically a second statistical analysis on the industrial plant performance data associated with locations within the second selected geographical area and dynamically to enable display of results of the second statistical analysis on the displayed map.

A method, the method comprising:
- accessing a database having data on industrial plant performance, each datum associated with a location;
- displaying a map comprising a selected first geographical area, the first geographical area including a first subset of the corresponding locations in the database;
- performing a first statistical analysis on the industrial plant performance data associated with the first subset of the corresponding locations in the database, and to enable display of results of the first statistical analysis on the displayed map;
- changing the selected geographical area displayed from the first geographical area to a second geographical area, the second geographical area including a second subset of the corresponding locations in the database, the second subset being different from the first subset;
- and
- dynamically performing, in response to a change in the geographical area being selected, a second statistical analysis on the industrial plant performance data associated with locations within the second selected geographical area and enabling display dynamically of results of the second statistical analysis on the displayed map.
