SYNERGISTIC INTERFACE SYSTEM FOR A BUILDING NETWORK
First Claim
1. An interface system for a building comprising:
- a building control system configured to send control signals to a plurality of field devices within the building;
building information indicia positioned at a location in the building, the building information indicia defining indicia data; and
at least one mobile computing device in wireless communication with the building control system, the at least one mobile computing device configured to read the building information indicia and transmit the indicia data to the building control system;
wherein the building control system is configured to control the field devices based at least in part on the indicia data received from the at least one mobile computing device.

Abstract
An interface system for a building includes at least one mobile computing device configured to read building information indicia positioned within the building, with the building information indicia defining indicia data. The at least one mobile computing device is in wireless communication with a building control system within the building. The building control system is configured to send control signals to a plurality of field devices within the building. The at least one mobile computing devices is configured to transmit indicia data defined by the building information indicia to the building control system. The building control system is configured to control the field devices based at least in part on the indicia data received from the mobile computing devices.
