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.

1-20. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- displaying, on a display, a user-interface corresponding to a map layout of a facility, wherein the user-interface is rendered on the display based on a plurality of map layers that are navigable by at least one of a pan and zoom operation, performed on the display by a user;
- in response to a navigation of at least one map layer from amongst the plurality of map layers by user-input, displaying a plurality of content control objects associated with a portion of the at least one map layer navigated to by the user, wherein the plurality of content control objects are displayed based on at least one of:
- navigation of the plurality of the map layers and one or more attributes associated with the user;
- receiving, based on a user-input, a selection of a content control object from amongst the plurality of content control objects;
- and
- in response to the selection of the content control object, displaying a corresponding content display object, the corresponding content display object displaying data associated with a resource of the facility that is associated with the content control object.
A computer system comprising:
- a user interface including a display and a user input for receiving user input;
- a controller operatively coupled to the user interface, the controller configured to:
- display, on the display, a map layout of a facility, wherein the map layout includes a plurality of map layers that are navigable by at least one of a pan and zoom operation, performed by a user via the user input;
- in response to a navigation of at least one map layer from amongst the plurality of map layers by user-input, display a plurality of content control objects associated with a portion of the map layer navigated by the user, wherein the plurality of content control objects are displayed based on at least one of:
- navigation of the plurality of the map layers and one or more attributes associated with the user;
- receive, based on a user-input, a selection of a content control object from amongst the plurality of content control objects;
- and
- in response to the selection of the content control object, display a content display object, the content display object displaying data associated with a resource of the facility.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions when executed by a processor is configured to:
- display, on a display, a user-interface corresponding to a map layout of a facility, wherein the user-interface is rendered on the display based on a plurality of map layers that are navigable by at least one of a pan and zoom operation, performed by a user;
- in response to a navigation of at least one map layer from amongst the plurality of map layers by user-input, display a plurality of content control objects associated with a portion of the map layer navigated by the user, wherein the plurality of content control objects are displayed based on at least one of:
- navigation of the plurality of the map layers and one or more attributes associated with the user;
- receiving, based on a user-input, a selection of a content control object from amongst the plurality of content control objects;
- and
- in response to the selection of the content control object, displaying a content display object, the content display object displaying data associated with a resource of the facility.
