Methods and apparatus for interactively and dynamically updating a schematic overlay
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of dynamically updating an interactive diagnostic schematic overlay, comprising:
- displaying a first drawing comprising a plurality of static graphical objects, each static graphical object corresponding to a design element of a complex system;
identifying a diagnostic schematic overlay comprising;
a plurality of fields, wherein each field of the plurality of fields is aligned with a static graphical object of the plurality of static graphical objects, anda plurality of dynamic graphical objects, wherein each dynamic graphical object of the plurality of dynamic graphical objects is associated with a field of the plurality of fields and corresponds to one of a design element operating state or a design element operating parameter;
determining at least one of a design element operating state using a respective sensor for detecting such design element operating state or a design element operating parameter using a system controller for at least some of the static graphical objects at a first instance in time; and
displaying, together with the first drawing, determined operating states and determined operating parameters in respective fields of the diagnostic schematic overlay as an updated diagnostic schematic overlay.

Abstract
A computer implemented method of dynamically updating an interactive diagnostic schematic overlay comprises displaying a first drawing comprising a plurality of static graphical objects, each static graphical object corresponding to a design element of a complex system and identifying a diagnostic schematic overlay comprising a plurality of dynamic graphical objects, wherein each dynamic graphical object is aligned with a static graphical object of the plurality of static graphical objects. In an embodiment, the diagnostic schematic overlay further includes a plurality of fields, wherein each field may be populated with one or more dynamic graphical objects, and the method further includes determining a design element operating state and/or a design element operating parameter for at least some of the static graphical objects at a first instance in time and displaying, together with the first drawing, determined operating states and determined operating parameters as an updated diagnostic schematic overlay.
