The method may further include determining whether to allow access of a server by the user based on the magnetometric numerical value.

Abstract: A system displays a raster-based or a vector-based formatted drawing on a user interface. A user selects a device on the drawing. The selected device is classified on a template. The drawing is searched for the classified template. Three-dimensional characteristics are imbued to the selected device. Connection types among different types of devices on the drawing are received into the system. A search is performed for all connection instances throughout the drawing using the received connection types. An object oriented and three-dimensionally, spatially referenced view of the drawing is generated on a user interface.
