Patent number: 10845987Abstract: Exemplified herein is a system and method to accept password on a touch-screen HMI (human-machine interface) device. The system and method uses a combination of tactile gestures that are each received at predefined quadrants (or regions) or the touch-screen. The combination of such tactile gestures and quadrant information are used as a shortcut sequence to a user-interface (UI) function call, e.g., change zoom parameter of a presented screen of the display, navigate to a next presented screen, navigate to a previous presented screen.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2016Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: INTELLIGENT PLATFORMS, LLCInventors: Pavan Kumar Singh Thakur, Jagadeesh Jinka, Chaithanya Guttikonda, Pawan Kumar

Patent number: 10594555Abstract: A system and method for testing a control system is disclosed. The control system includes a field device located in one area and a controller located in a different area. A mobile application running on a mobile computing device is used by a technician to test the control system. Because both the mobile computing device and the controller are coupled to a cloud computing system, the technician may interface with the controller while located at the field device. This remote access to the controller allows a single technician to test the control system by interfacing with the controller and the field device simultaneously. In addition, the mobile application may retrieve data from the cloud computing system to facilitate testing and may transmit test results to the cloud for storage. Others having access to the stored results may view the progress and results of the testing.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: INTELLIGENT PLATFORMS, LLCInventors: Keith George McNab, Robert Turner
