Publication number: 20240045972Abstract: A method for automatically detecting and mitigating risks related to cybersecurity in a Building Management System (BMS) includes evaluating settings of a user account of the BMS; identifying a security risk associated with the settings of the user account; evaluating settings of a network device of the BMS; identifying another security risk associated with the settings of the network device, presenting a user interface, wherein the user interface allows a user to view a policy recommendation associated with either security risk; and implementing the change in the settings of the user account or a change in the settings of the network device based at least in part on an input from the user via the user interface or an automated response to the policy recommendation. The method allows for administrators to easily view and change settings of user accounts and network devices to improve the cybersecurity of the BMS.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: Carol Lomonaco, John S.

Patent number: 11206153Abstract: A building management system includes a search and control system coupled to a building network. The building network includes a plurality of devices of building equipment that operate to affect a variable state or condition within a building. The search and control system is configured to provide a search interface, receive filter criteria, perform a search regarding the devices of building equipment based on the filter criteria, return a set of search results based on the filter criteria, receive a selection of one or more devices of building equipment of the set of search results, receive command criteria regarding a command to provide to the one or more selected devices of building equipment, and provide the command to the one or more selected devices of building equipment. The command causes the one or more selected devices of building equipment to affect the variable state or condition within the building.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: Ryan A.

Publication number: 20210149352Abstract: A method in a Building Management System (BMS) includes presenting a user interface to a user on a user device that allows the user to efficiently view logical relationships between objects in the BMS. The method includes presenting, on the user interface, a first object and a second object. The second object is affected by the first object. The first object is presented on a first side of the second object on the user interface. The method also includes receiving, via the user interface, an input from the user including a selection of the second object, and presenting, on the user interface, a third object used to control equipment of the BMS in response to the input from the user.
