APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PAN AND ZOOM DISPLAY FOR A REPRESENTATION OF A PROCESS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying a plurality of regions in a graphical display, at least two of the regions corresponding to different portions of a representation of an industrial process system, wherein the regions include;
a thumbnail region that corresponds to an entirety of the representation of the process system;
a viewport region that corresponds to a portion of the representation of the process system that is less than the entirety of the representation of the process system, the viewport region disposed and movable within the thumbnail region; and
a current view region that corresponds to a current view of the representation of the process system, the current view associated with the viewport region; and
responsive to user activation, moving the viewport region within the thumbnail region and updating the current view region;
wherein the thumbnail region is configured to identify at least one fault condition indicator outside of the viewport region.

Abstract
A method includes displaying regions in a graphical display. At least two regions correspond to different portions of a representation of an industrial process system. A thumbnail region corresponds to an entirety of the representation of the process system. A viewport region corresponds to a portion of the representation of the process system less than the entirety of the representation of the process system. The viewport region is disposed and movable within the thumbnail region. A current view region corresponds to a current view of the representation of the process system. The current view is associated with the viewport region. The method also includes, responsive to user activation, moving the viewport region within the thumbnail region and updating the current view region. The thumbnail region is configured to identify at least one fault condition indicator outside the viewport region.

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processing device configured to generate a graphical display having a plurality of regions, at least two of the regions corresponding to different portions of a representation of an industrial process system, wherein the regions include; a thumbnail region that corresponds to an entirety of the representation of the process system; a viewport region that corresponds to a portion of the representation of the process system that is less than the entirety of the representation of the process system, the viewport region disposed and movable within the thumbnail region; and a current view region that corresponds to a current view of the representation of the process system, the current view associated with the viewport region; and wherein the at least one processing device is further configured, responsive to user activation, to move the viewport region within the thumbnail region and to update the current view region; and wherein the thumbnail region is configured to identify at least one fault condition indicator outside of the viewport region. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to:
-
generate a graphical display having a plurality of regions, at least two of the regions corresponding to different portions of a representation of an industrial process system, wherein the regions include; a thumbnail region that corresponds to an entirety of the representation of the process system; a viewport region that corresponds to a portion of the representation of the process system that is less than the entirety of the representation of the process system, the viewport region disposed and movable within the thumbnail region; and a current view region that corresponds to a current view of the representation of the process system, the current view associated with the viewport region; and responsive to user activation, move the viewport region within the thumbnail region and update the current view region; wherein the thumbnail region is configured to identify at least one fault condition indicator outside of the viewport region. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
