AUGMENTED REALITY BUILDING OPERATIONS TOOL
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- with an augmented reality building operations tool (ARBOT) server, receiving from a mobile client an augmented reality request for equipment of a building system that is managed by an energy management system (EMS);
in response, receiving at the ARBOT server from the EMS building management data for the equipment of the building system;
with the ARBOT server, generating an overlay with at least one object based on the building management data, wherein the overlay is configured for concurrent display on a display screen of the mobile client with a real-time image of the equipment in the building; and
transmitting the overlay to the mobile client for display with the real-time image of the equipment.

Abstract
A method (700) for providing an augmented reality operations tool to a mobile client (642) positioned in a building (604). The method (700) includes, with a server (660), receiving (720) from the client (642) an augmented reality request for building system equipment (612) managed by an energy management system (EMS) (620). The method (700) includes transmitting (740) a data request for the equipment (612) to the EMS (620) and receiving (750) building management data (634) for the equipment (612). The method (700) includes generating (760) an overlay (656) with an object created based on the building management data (634), which may be sensor data, diagnostic procedures, or the like. The overlay (656) is configured for concurrent display on a display screen (652) of the client (642) with a real-time image of the building equipment (612). The method (700) includes transmitting (770) the overlay (656) to the client (642) for display with the real-time image of the equipment (612). The equipment (612) is identified using a client position or a fiduciary marker (614) on or near the equipment (612).

9. A building management system for use with an energy management system (EMS) storing building management data associated with building system components in a building, comprising:
-
a server with a processor running ARBOT software and communicatively linked to the EMS; and wherein a client positioned in the building and wirelessly communicating with the server, displays an image of one of the components on a display screen, wherein the server accesses the EMS to retrieve building management data associated with the displayed component, the server generates an overlay for the displayed image that includes an object based on the retrieved building management data and transmits the overlay to the client, and wherein the client updates the display screen to concurrently display the image of the component and the overlay. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, wherein the program is executable to instruct a processor to perform the following:
-
receive a message from a client with digital data identifying a component of building system; retrieve, from an EMS associated with the building system, building management data for the component; generate an overlay including a building management object including at least a portion of the building management data; and transmit the overlay to the client over a wireless connection for display with a real-time image of the component. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
