CONTRLLER INTERFACE WITH MULTIPLE DAY PROGRAMMING
First Claim
1. A computer readable medium having stored thereon on in non-transitory state a program code for a mobile computing device for use in remotely programming a programmable schedule of a thermal comfort controller, the program code causing the mobile computing device to execute a method comprising:
- displaying on a user interface of the mobile computing device one or more screens that allow a user to select two or more days of a programmable schedule, wherein each of the two or more days of the programmable schedule are independently selectable via the user interface;
allowing a user to change a set-point of the programmable schedule via the user interface of the mobile computing device, the changed set-point being applied to each of the selected two or more days; and
outputting one or more signals that reflect the selected two or more days and the changed set point.

Abstract
A controller equipped with a user interface having multiple-day programming capabilities, including methods of programming such devices, are disclosed. The user interface may include one or more menus or screens that can be used to program a schedule for one or more selected days during the week. An illustrative method of programming the controller may include the steps of entering a scheduling routine, selecting multiple days for schedule modification, changing the schedule parameters for one or more periods during the selected days, and then exiting the scheduling routine.

17. A mobile computing device for use in remotely programming a programmable schedule of a thermal comfort controller, wherein the programmable schedule includes two or more days and at least one set-point for each of the two or more days, the mobile computing device comprising:
-
a user interface including a display; a controller coupled to the user interface, the controller programmed to provide a screen on the display of the user interface of the mobile computing device that allows a user to select two or more days of the programmable schedule with each of the two or more days of the programmable schedule being independently selectable by the user; the controller further allowing a user to change a set-point via the user interface of the mobile computing device, the changed set-point being applied to each of the selected two or more days of the programmable schedule; and the controller outputting from the mobile computing device one or more signals that reflect the selected two or more days and the changed set point. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A method for remotely programming a programmable schedule of a thermal comfort controller, wherein the programmable schedule includes two or more days and at least one set-point for each of the two or more days, the method comprising:
-
selecting two or more days of the programmable schedule via a user interface of a mobile computing device, wherein each of the two or more days of the programmable schedule are independently selectable via the user interface of the mobile computing device; changing a set-point of the programmable schedule via the user interface of the mobile computing device, the changed set-point being applied to each of the selected two or more days of the programmable schedule but not to the un-selected days of the programmable schedule; and outputting from the mobile computing device one or more signals that reflect the selected two or more days and the changed set point.
