  • Patent number: 9170702
    Abstract: A client manager application for a building management system. A method includes maintaining a client manager application configured to interact with both a web client data processing system and an installed client data processing system to perform building management system functions. The installed client data processing system operates an installed client manager application to provide an installed building management interface. The method includes deploying a browser client manager module to the web client data processing system. A browser building management interface that has substantially the same appearance and functionality as the installed building management interface. The server interacts with both the installed client data processing system and the web client data processing system to perform the building management system functions. The client manager application can be configured to run in a web client data processing system as well as in an installed client data processing system.

  • Patent number: 8933930
    Abstract: Management systems, methods, and mediums. A method includes identifying a set of layers and a zoom factor based on a depth of a graphic to be displayed. The set of layers comprise symbols for objects corresponding to devices in a building managed by the management system. The method includes identifying a number of visible objects from the objects of the symbols in the identified set of layers based on the zoom factor. The method includes identifying a state of a device represented by a visual object in the number of visible objects from the management system communicably coupled with the devices. Additionally, the method includes generating a display for the depth. The display includes the identified set of layers, a symbol for each of the number of visible objects in the identified set of layers, and a graphical indication of the state of the device.

  • Publication number: 20140258940
    Abstract: A method for navigating information includes identifying a value for a property of a first object associated with one or more devices managed by a management system. The method includes displaying a first plurality of tiles for a plurality of objects, including the first object. A first of the tiles is associated with the first object and includes a display of a graphic associated with the object and the identified value for the property. The method includes identifying a plurality of related objects that are related to the first object and displaying a second plurality of tiles for the related objects in response to receiving a selection of the first tile for the first object. Additionally, the method includes displaying, in response to receiving a selection of a second tile in the second plurality of tiles for one of the related objects, information about the one related object.

  • Publication number: 20130083035
    Abstract: Automation systems, methods, and mediums. A method includes identifying a value for a data point associated with a device in a building. The value is received from a management system operably connected to the device. The method includes mapping the value for the data point to a graphical representation of the value for the data point. The method includes generating a display comprising a graphic for the building and a symbol representing the device. The method includes displaying the graphical representation of the value for the data point in association with the symbol representing the device. Additionally, the method includes modifying the graphical representation of the value based on a change in the value in response to identifying the change in the value from the management system.

  • Patent number: 8249100
    Abstract: A method includes providing at a first computer an application generating service requests at a duplex channel interface, at least a first service request requesting multiple subsequent data responses from a service located on a second computer. The method also includes employing a first process to convert the first service request into a first http request and transmitting the first http request over a network. The method further includes employing the first process to generate a second http request in the form of a polling request. A context reply to the second http request containing data responsive to the first service request is received. The method alsod includes providing the data response to the first service request to the duplex channel interface.
