Publication number: 20130212527Abstract: A system stores semantic information relating to several devices. The semantic information relates to a description of data that are associated with the devices. The system stores a database of software applications that can be used in connection with the devices. The system displays to an output device one or more software applications that can be used in connection with a particular device, and receives into the system a selection of the one or more software applications that are to be used in connection with the particular device. The system transmits data to and receives data from the particular device as a function of requirements of the selected one or more software applications and semantic information relating to the particular device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2012Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicant: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: John W.

Patent number: 7822806Abstract: Systems and methods provide a real-time data display and interface for a network device by loading a page in a browser (115), the page including an engine which is executed in the browser (120) and used to automatically load a definition file (125) from a remote source in response to content within the page. Widgets are instantiated for display in the interface, each making data requests (145) at intervals which are forwarded to one or more servers in communication with the network device. Requested data is received (160) and presented in the interface there by providing the user with dynamically updated data (165). An engine for driving such display comprises executable code configured to instantiate one or more widgets for rendering within the display of the real-time data interface. The engine further includes a reference to a definition file which defines prescribed parameters for one or more of the widgets.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2003Date of Patent: October 26, 2010Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Brian Spencer Frank, John W.

Patent number: 7225426Abstract: A component based software program, where each component is based on a component-type. Component-types are created from base classes comprising slot definitions. The slot definitions are identified and stored in a component-type object. One or more components of the component-type are created, each comprising a reference, to a component-type object and a slotmap having storage locations for values associated with property slots definitions, in the component-type object. Values for property slots are entered into components by being placed in the storage locations. Also disclosed is a method for automatically designating unique names to components. One root component is created. Further non-root components are placed within the root component or within other components, so that all components form a tree structure. A component is assigned a unique identification string, comprising a sequential list of all of the component's ancestors and the component's name.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2003Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Brian Spencer Frank, John W.

Patent number: 6832120Abstract: A control system methodology that uses object-oriented software to integrate multiple control systems into a common object model. Object-oriented techniques are used to construct distributed applications in a multi-vendor open system environment for use in controlling and monitoring systems of varying size and configuration. Information is brought into a common object model and made available throughout the system. A custom programming language is included for object creation. Access to objects is controlled through a multi-level security protocol. Data flow is governed by a real-time information synchronization manager. Classes are used to implement the system in a platform independent way according to a “core class hierarchy” in which objects are organized to inherit behavior and perform predictably. A control engine allows the user to control the order of execution of objects. A script is provided for generating custom objects.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1999Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Tridium, Inc.Inventors: Gerald L. Frank, Danny J. Wahlquist, Jr., Brian S.
