Patent number: 11966555Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for measuring a workspace is provided. The method includes capturing a workspace that is virtually represented on a user interface display of a computing apparatus that image-captured the workspace. The user inputs, via the user interface, a value of a known measurement of a length represented in the virtual workspace. Through the user interface, along the virtual workspace, the user identifies virtual end boundary points of the length associated with the known measurement. The user then defines a defined space within the virtual workspace by placing additional virtual boundary points. The system calibrates from the inputted value and the virtual end boundary points of the known measurement all the remaining measurements of the surface area, which can be used to render a map display and calculate surface area, volume, or any other geometric aspects of the defined space.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Inventors: Charles Allan Wolford, Garrett Scott Isaacs

Patent number: 11880696Abstract: A system provides a design interface for designing and implementing graphical user interfaces that users can access through web browsers. Depending on the configuration of the graphical user interfaces, the users may be able to monitor and control industrial processes by interacting with components that correspond to the industrial processes as displayed in user interfaces at client devices. The design interface includes functionality for selecting preprogrammed components, or for generating new components for display. The design interface further allows designers to associate data values received from a variety of sources with properties of the components in the user interfaces. In particular, properties associated with a component of an interface are stored in property tree structures, making dynamic changes to the components possible. Data bindings between subtrees representing components and sets of data from industrial and other sources allows for designs that scale with the availability of the data.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: INDUCTIVE AUTOMATION, LLCInventors: Carl Reuben Gould, Perry Linn Arellano-Jones
