Abstract: The invention is a system for selecting and previewing a configuration for a wall module before a download of the configuration to the wall module. The configuration may be selected from a set of standard applications or it may be a customized standard application. The configuration may instead be a new application. The configuration may be changed, such as screen segment selection, during a preview of it. A memory usage meter may indicate how much memory is used relative to the amount available in the wall module for the configuration. Also the system may have an autobind to a controller feature for time parameters. New application or customized standard application configurations may be saved to a library for future use.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a method of displaying items on a touch-sensitive display.

The method further includes detecting contact with the menu on the touch-sensitive display to select a particular camera movement operation and manipulating the camera based on a gesture conducted on the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: A method of manipulating assets on a touch-sensitive display. The method includes showing a camera and a field of view of the camera on the touch-sensitive display. The method further includes detecting contact with the camera or the field of view of the camera on the touch-sensitive display, and manipulating the camera based on a gesture conducted on the camera or the field of view of the camera shown on the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying systemic failures and a root cause of incidents in a work environment. Failures, causes, and impacts related to a sample of incidents can be investigated in order to identify one or more systemic failures and root causes of the systemic failure(s). The incident details can be utilized to identify one or more root cause manifestation for each root cause of the systemic failure(s). The gaps in an existing system can be analyzed and one or more improvement solutions based on corrective actions can be identified. The improvement solutions with a highest priority can be selected and implemented to address the gaps identified in the current system based on the analysis of systemic failures and root causes. The effectiveness of the improvement solutions can be tracked and monitored to prevent the recurrence of future incidents.

Abstract: A method of showing content on a touch-sensitive display. The method includes showing content on a touch-sensitive display and detecting contact with the touch-sensitive display. The method further includes manipulating the content on the touch-sensitive display based on gestures performed on the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: A home automation system includes data relating to three dimensional body movements. The system receives a signal generated by a sensing of a three dimensional body movement of a person, compares the signal relating to the three dimensional body movement of the person to the stored data relating to the three dimensional body movements, identify the body movement of the person based on the comparison; and control a home automation system as a function of the identified body movement.

Abstract: A system is configured to receive into a computer processor one or more of a map or model of an area monitored by one or more sensors, and display on a display unit a location and orientation of the one or more sensors in the monitored area. The system further is configured to receive into the computer processor, via contacting the display unit, a region or path within the monitored area. The computer processor orients the one or more sensors towards the path or region in response to the contacting of the display unit, and after the orienting of the one or more sensors, the monitored area is displayed on the display unit.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system include receiving a trigger in the computer related to job performance in a work environment. The system compares job performance related to the trigger to a worker competency model having behavior indicators of good performance. The comparison of job performance to the worker competency model, behavior indicators, and outcome measures is used to provide an indication of good and poor job performance for a variety of situations. Training, best practices, and effective strategies may also be automatically identified.

Abstract: A method of showing video on a touch-sensitive display. The method includes showing video on a touch-sensitive display and detecting contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display. The method further includes manipulating a camera that is recording the video based on contact with the video on the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: An example method of displaying items on a touch screen display includes detecting contact with a touch-sensitive display. The method further includes generating a semi-transparent overlay that appears on the display based on the contact with the touch-sensitive display. In other embodiments, the example method includes detecting how many contacts are made with a touch-sensitive display, and generating an overlay that appears on the display, wherein the type of overlay that appears on the display is based on the number of contacts that are made with the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: An assessment system utilizing usability engineering and six sigma. An assessment may involve task analysis incorporating process maps or the like. This analysis may be extended into a development of user interface (UI) maps. Information about customer needs may be obtained from a voice of the customer (VOC). This information may be used in a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) table. Usability engineering may be used to analyze usability data. Results may include usability problems and positive features enterable into the FMEA table. Usability profiles may be drawn from information and ratings in the FMEA table. A quality function deployment (QFD) may be used to prioritize usability findings with reference to the FMEA table. There may be a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis. Affinity diagrams, used to categorize information from usability profiles, the QFD, the SWOT and the FMEA table, may provide design direction for successor applications.
