Abstract
Described herein are frameworks, devices and methods configured for enabling display for facility information and content, in some cases via touch/gesture controlled interfaces. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed for allowing an operator to conveniently access a wide range of information relating to a facility via, for example, one or more wall mounted displays. While some embodiments will be described herein with particular reference to that application, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a field of use, and is applicable in broader contexts.
Claims20
A computer implemented building information display method for sharing content, the method comprising:
- receiving a first pan and/or zoom operation to navigate to a first portion of a map layer, wherein the map layer includes image data representative of a facility;
- displaying the first portion of the map layer on a first display;
- selecting content control objects that are bound to the first portion of the map layer, thereby defining a first actively displayed subset of content control objects, wherein each content control object is configured to enable launching of a corresponding content display object, wherein the content display object is associated with a building resource;
- automatically displaying on a second display a first set of secondary display objects that each correspond to one of the first actively displayed subset of content control objects that are displayed on the first display;
- receiving a second pan and/or zoom operation to navigate to a second portion of the map layer;
- displaying the second portion of the map layer on the first display;
- selecting the content control objects that are bound to the second portion of the map layer, thereby defining a second actively displayed subset of content control objects;
- automatically displaying on the second display a second set of secondary display objects that each correspond to one of the second actively displayed subset of content control objects that are displayed on the first display;
- wherein each building resource belongs to a building resource category wherein the building resource categories comprise one or more of:
- a surveillance system;
- a building management system;
- and
- an access control system.

A computer system comprising:
- a first display;
- a second display;
- a user interface for receiving user input;
- a memory for storing a map layer that includes image data representative of a facility;
- a controller operatively coupled to the first display, the second display, the user interface and the memory, the controller configured to:
- receive via the user interface a first pan and/or zoom operation to navigate to a first portion of the map layer;
- display the first portion of the map layer on the first display;
- select content control objects that are bound to the first portion of the map layer, thereby defining a first actively displayed subset of content control objects, wherein each content control object is configured to enable launching of a corresponding content display object, wherein the content display object is associated with a building resource;
- automatically display on the second display a first set of secondary display objects that each correspond to one of the first actively displayed subset of content control objects that are displayed on the first display;
- receive via the user interface a second pan and/or zoom operation to navigate to a second portion of the map layer;
- display the second portion of the map layer on the first display;
- select the content control objects that are bound to the second portion of the map layer, thereby defining a second actively displayed subset of content control objects;
- automatically display on the second display a second set of secondary display objects that each correspond to one of the second actively displayed subset of content control objects that are displayed on the first display;
- wherein each building resource belongs to a building resource category wherein the building resource categories comprise one or more of:
- a surveillance system;
- a building management system;
- and
- an access control system.
15 more elements
A computer implemented building information display method for sharing content, the method comprising:
- displaying a first portion of a map layer on a first display panel, wherein the map layer includes image data representative of a facility;
- identifying content control objects that are bound to the first portion of the map layer, thereby defining a first actively displayed subset of content control objects, wherein each content control object is configured to enable launching of a corresponding content display object, wherein the content display object is associated with a building resource;
- automatically displaying on a second display panel separate from the first display panel a first set of secondary display objects that each correspond to one of the first actively displayed subset of content control objects that are displayed on the first display panel;
- displaying a second portion of the map layer on the first display panel;
- identifying content control objects that are bound to the second portion of the map layer, thereby defining a second actively displayed subset of content control objects;
- automatically displaying on the second display panel a second set of secondary display objects that each correspond to one of the second actively displayed subset of content control objects that are displayed on the first display panel;
- wherein each building resource belongs to a building resource category wherein the building resource categories comprise one or more of:
- a surveillance system;
- a building management system;
- and
- an access control system.
