Publication number: 20240102679Abstract: The present disclosure provides embodiments for improved monitoring of building environments for building automation based on environment inferences and various aspects associated therewith. A method can include receiving, via a standalone sensing device positioned in a monitored building environment, real-time environmental sensor data. The method can include generating, for the monitored building environment and based on the real-time environmental sensor data, an environmental building inference indicative of a state of at least one of an occupancy of the monitored building environment, an asset within the monitored building environment, or an ambience of the monitored building environment. The method can include generating, for the monitored building environment based on the environmental building inference, a prescriptive building insight.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Joseph Steven MAJEWSKI, Rahul Jaikaran CHILLAR, Avi CHATTERJEE

Patent number: 10976898Abstract: A system for hierarchical navigation of menus on a screen and particularly from one menu to another menu at the same level of a menu hierarchy. The system may provide side-to-side movement between menu elements to more easily navigate the menu pyramid. It may facilitate access to the details of a list of devices by selecting next and previous devices in the list, without navigating back to the list. The system may provide an operator or user with a simple, convenient method of browsing the details of devices in a list without the need to move back and forth throughout the list. The display may automatically adapt to the disparate properties of each type of device in the list. Also, the displayed details may be unique for a characterization of each device but be rendered in a common format.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Joseph Steven Majewski, Joe Stough, Don L.

Publication number: 20150323917Abstract: A building controller for controlling one or more building control components in a building, wherein the building controller is configured for bidirectional communication via a communication network between the building controller and the one or more building control components. The building controller can include a housing, a control unit, and a display unit. The control unit can execute an operating system and a building control application program having a control algorithm. The display unit may be configured to display at least one screen that facilitates user monitoring of diagnostic messages of the operating system of the control unit. Alternatively, or in addition, the display unit can be configured to display a screen to facilitate user entry of operating system parameters and/or a screen to facilitate entry of operating system commands for execution on by the control unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2015Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventors: Joseph Steven Majewski, Jeffrey David Lucas

Patent number: 8375402Abstract: A system for constructing embedded display content and navigation where a computing platform is based on one technology and the embedded display content is based on another technology. For instance, the one technology may be NiagaraAX and the other technology may be non-Niagara. The system may, for instance, leverage NiagaraAX Workbench tooling to generate displays rendered in heterogeneous technologies, i.e., non-Niagara, to extend the range and application of user interfaces for Niagara-based technologies.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Joseph Steven Majewski, Gerald Walter, Don L.

Publication number: 20100251233Abstract: A system for standalone usage of an embedded computing system user interface on a separate heterogeneous computing device. The system may run the same binary software image as the embedded computing device on a PC platform. Because it is virtually the same exact software image as that which is on the device, the PC-hosted version effectively has full fidelity with the device version. Its user interface is virtually identical in appearance and has full navigation and a richer subset of functionality than would be possible with a simulator. Also, it is not necessary to maintain separate simulation and device software since both environments may use the same binary image.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2009Publication date: September 30, 2010Applicant: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Joseph Steven Majewski, Bernard T.
