Method for generating a flexible display field for a video surveillance systesm
First Claim
1. A method for generating a flexible display field on a monitor, comprising the steps of providing a display field with a main window, into which a plurality of information windows are incorporatable and which has a basic grid with a regular raster;
- allocating individual grid fields to a respective information window for displaying in an assigned grid field;
setting a grid stage of a basic field via a central first user control device for the main window;
switching the main window between a regular grid occupancy in which a size of each incorporated information window corresponds to a size of one grid field of the basic field, and an irregular grid occupancy in which a size of at least one information window corresponds to a size of an integral multiple of one grid field of the basic grid; and
initiating a switchover of a user by a selection and a change in size of an information window.
