NAVIGATION AND FILTERING WITH LAYERS AND DEPTHS FOR BUILDING AUTOMATION GRAPHICS
First Claim
1. A method in a data processing system for generating a display of symbols for objects associated with a management system, the method comprising:
- identifying a set of layers and a zoom factor based on a depth of a graphic to be displayed, wherein the set of layers comprises symbols for objects corresponding to devices in a building managed by the management system;
identifying a number of visible objects from the objects of the symbols in the identified set of layers based on the zoom factor;
identifying a state of a device represented by a visual object in the number of visible objects from the management system communicably coupled with the devices; and
generating a display for the depth, the display comprising the identified set of layers, a symbol for each of the number of visible objects in the identified set of layers, and a graphical indication of the state of the device.

Abstract
Management systems, methods, and mediums. A method includes identifying a set of layers and a zoom factor based on a depth of a graphic to be displayed. The set of layers comprise symbols for objects corresponding to devices in a building managed by the management system. The method includes identifying a number of visible objects from the objects of the symbols in the identified set of layers based on the zoom factor. The method includes identifying a state of a device represented by a visual object in the number of visible objects from the management system communicably coupled with the devices. Additionally, the method includes generating a display for the depth. The display includes the identified set of layers, a symbol for each of the number of visible objects in the identified set of layers, and a graphical indication of the state of the device.

11. A data processing system configured to generate a display associated with a management system, the data processing system comprising:
-
a storage device comprising a system manager application; an accessible memory comprising instructions of the system manager application; and a processor configured to execute the instructions of the system manager application to; identify a set of layers and a zoom factor based on a depth of a graphic to be displayed, wherein the set of layers comprises symbols for objects corresponding to devices in a building managed by the management system; identify a number of visible objects from the objects of the symbols in the identified set of layers based on the zoom factor; identify a state of a device represented by a visual object in the number of visible objects from the management system communicably coupled with the devices; and generate a display for the depth, the display comprising the identified set of layers, a symbol for each of the number of visible objects in the identified set of layers, and a graphical indication of the state of the device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more data processing systems to:
-
identify a set of layers and a zoom factor based on a depth of a graphic to be displayed, wherein the set of layers comprises symbols for objects corresponding to devices in a building managed by the management system; identify a number of visible objects from the objects of the symbols in the identified set of layers based on the zoom factor; identify a state of a device represented by a visual object in the number of visible objects from the management system communicably coupled with the devices; and generate a display for the depth, the display comprising the identified set of layers, a symbol for each of the number of visible objects in the identified set of layers, and a graphical indication of the state of the device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
