Mobile device for building control with adaptive user interface
First Claim
1. A wireless device configured to communicate with and help control one or more building control components of a building control system, the wireless device comprising:
- a wireless interface for sending and receiving information;
a memory;
a location service for identifying current geo-locations of the wireless device;
a user interface including a display; and
a controller coupled to the wireless interface, the memory, the location service, and the user interface, the controller configured to;
accept two or more user actions via the user interface;
for each of the two or more accepted user actions, identify a current geo-location of the wireless device via the location service of the wireless device and associate the current geo-location with the corresponding accepted user action; and
display building control information on the display, wherein the building control information that is displayed is adapted based at least in part on a pattern that is identified in the two or more accepted user actions and the associated geo-locations.

Abstract
A wireless device may be used to communicate with and control one or more components of an HVAC system from a remote location. The wireless device may be configured to display building control information on the display of the wireless device, wherein the building control information that is displayed may be adapted based, at least in part, on an identified pattern of user actions with the wireless device. The identified pattern may be at least partially based on user actions with associated geo-locations, times, and/or other conditions. The information that is to be displayed on the display of the wireless device may be determined based, at least in part, on a current time, a current geo-location of the wireless device, or other current condition in view of the identified pattern in user actions.

18. A system for adapting building control information displayed on a display of a wireless device, wherein the wireless device includes a user interface configured to control one or more building control components of a building control system, the system comprising:
-
a server comprising; a processor; memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing received user actions on wireless devices and associated data, along with instructions executable by the processor for controlling building control information displayed on a user'"'"'s wireless device; an input/output interface; wherein; the server is configured to receive, via the input/output interface, two or more user actions with a user interface of a user'"'"'s wireless device and corresponding geo-locations that each represent the geo-location of the wireless device when the corresponding one of the user actions were made; the server is configured to identify a pattern in the two or more user actions and the corresponding geo-locations; and the server is configured to send information to the wireless device via the input/output interface, wherein the information is based at least in part on the identified pattern and indicates to the wireless device an arrangement of building control information to display on the user interface of the user'"'"'s wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
