1. A computer implemented method for displaying content, the method comprising:
- causing a user interface to be rendered on a display screen;
controlling the user interface to display a map layer including image data representative of a facility, wherein the user interface is navigated by way of pan and zoom operations defined with respect to the map layer;
controlling the user interface to display one or more content control objects superimposed on the map layer, wherein each content control object is configured to enable launching of a corresponding content display object, wherein the corresponding content display object is associated with a building resource;
wherein the user interface is configured to enable zoom-level dependent display of content control objects, such that each content control object is viewable only when navigation is at greater than a defined threshold zoom level for that content control object; and
wherein, for a given one of the content control objects, the defined threshold zoom level is overridden in the case that a predefined condition is present for the associated building resource, such that in the case of the predefined condition being satisfied for the building resource associated with the given one of the content control objects, the given one of the content control objects is visible without the threshold zoom level being met.

Abstract
Described herein are frameworks, devices and methods configured for enabling display for facility information and content, in some cases via touch/gesture controlled interfaces. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed for allowing an operator to conveniently access a wide range of information relating to a facility via, for example, one or more wall mounted displays. While some embodiments will be described herein with particular reference to that application, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a field of use, and is applicable in broader contexts.

12. A system, comprising:
-
a user interface including a display; a controller operatively coupled to the user interface, the controller configured to; control the user interface to display a map layer including image data representative of a facility, wherein the user interface is navigated by way of pan and zoom operations defined with respect to the map layer; control the user interface to display one or more content control objects superimposed on the map layer, wherein each content control object is configured to enable launching of a corresponding content display object, wherein the corresponding content display object is associated with a building resource; wherein the user interface is configured to enable zoom-level dependent display of content control objects, such that each content control object is viewable only when navigation is at greater than a defined threshold zoom level for that content control object; and wherein, for a given one of the content control objects, the defined threshold zoom level is overridden in the case that a predefined condition is present for the associated building resource, such that in the case of the predefined condition being satisfied for the building resource associated with the given one of the content control objects, the given one of the content control objects is visible without the threshold zoom level being met. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein the executable program is configured to cause a user interface having a display screen to:
-
display a map layer including image data representative of a facility, wherein the user interface is navigated by way of pan and zoom operations defined with respect to the map layer; display one or more content control objects superimposed on the map layer, wherein each content control object is configured to enable launching of a corresponding content display object, wherein the corresponding content display object is associated with a building resource; and enable zoom-level dependent display of content control objects, such that each content control object is viewable only when navigation is at greater than a defined threshold zoom level for that content control object, wherein for a given one of the content control objects, the defined threshold zoom level is overridden in the case that a predefined condition is present for the associated building resource, such that in the case of the predefined condition being satisfied for the building resource associated with the given one of the content control objects, the given one of the content control objects is visible without the threshold zoom level being met. - View Dependent Claims (20)
