HVAC CONTROLLER HAVING INTEGRATED COMFORT WINDOW DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A device configured to control one or more components of an HVAC system, the device comprising:
- a display;
a controller in communication with the display, wherein the controller is configured to receive one or more user defined environmental settings;
wherein the controller is in communication with one or more environmental sensors,wherein the environmental sensors detect one or more environmental conditions;
wherein the controller is further configured to provide a visual indication on the display for the detected environmental conditions with respect to the user defined environmental settings, wherein the visual indication comprises;
one or more substantially bounded regions, wherein the bounded regions are comprised of one or more borders, and wherein the borders at least partially represent the user defined environmental settings; and
one or more icons representing the detected environmental conditions.

Abstract
A device configured to control one or more components of an HVAC system. The device includes a display, a controller in communication with the display, and wherein the controller is configured to receive one or more user defined environmental settings. Further, the controller communicates with one or more environmental sensors, wherein the environmental sensors detect one or more environmental conditions. In addition, the controller is further configured to provide a visual indication on the display for the detected environmental conditions with respect to the user defined environmental settings. This visual indication includes one or more bounded region having an interior space indicative of user comfort level, wherein the bounded regions have one or more borders, and wherein the borders at least partially represent the user defined environmental settings. In addition, the visual indication includes one or more icons that represents the detected environmental conditions and are displayed in relation to the bounded regions.
