  • Patent number: 11740762
    Abstract: A display displays an equipment management screen in which icons indicating equipment devices and having a first display size are superimposed on a floor configuration diagram of a building at positions corresponding to installation sites of the equipment devices. A display information generator, upon detection of an operation of specifying display of a group to which the equipment device corresponding to the operated icon belongs, identifies all equipment devices belonging to the specified group, changes display sizes of icons corresponding to the identified equipment devices to a second display size larger than the first display size, displays operation buttons for implementing settings of the identified equipment devices at prescribed positions on the equipment management screen in a superimposed manner, and changes display sizes of icons corresponding to equipment devices not belonging to the specified group to a third display size smaller than the first display size.

  • Patent number: 11531466
    Abstract: An equipment-management device associated with at least one of multiple pieces of equipment in a building under management, the equipment-management device including a display-information generator, a touchscreen, and an action-control-information generator. The display-information generator generates display information on a management screen wherein icons are arranged, each of the icons including an outer frame and a first area set at one end along the major axis within the outer frame. The touchscreen displays the display information and receives an input of information relating to an operation performed on the management screen. Upon detecting that a slide operation performed on one of the icons of the management screen from the first area through a first slide-operation detecting line set inside the outer frame excluding the first area, the action-control-information generator generates action-control information that switches the power supply of the corresponding equipment on or off.
