HYBRID USER INTERFACE HAVING BASE PRESENTATION INFORMATION WITH VARIABLY PROMINENT SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
First Claim
1. An industrial automation system, comprising:
- an information retrieval component that determines information of interest to a user;
at least one base presentation that displays one or more elements of an industrial control environment to the user;
an interface that overlays one or more display items within the base presentation, the display items relate to industrial control information determined to be of interest to the user based at least in part upon the context information.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that enable various interface applications that more efficiently communicate data to users in an industrial control system. In one aspect, an industrial automation system is provided. The system includes a base presentation component to display one or more elements of an industrial control environment. Various display items can be dynamically superimposed on the base presentation component to provide industrial control information to a user. In another aspect of the industrial automation system, a location component is provided to identify a physical or a virtual location for a user in an industrial control environment. This can include a context component to determine at least one attribute for the user in view of the physical or virtual location. A presentation component then provides information to the user based in part on the physical or virtual location and the determined attribute.
