FRAMEWORKS, DEVICES AND METHODS CONFIGURED FOR ENABLING TOUCH/GESTURE CONTROLLED DISPLAY FOR FACILITY INFORMATION AND CONTENT WITH CONTENT AND CONTROLS BASED ON USER ATTRIBUTES
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for displaying building information to a user via a touch/gesture driven user interface that is rendered on a display screen, the method including:
- (i) based on current navigation data, displaying a portion of a map layer, wherein the map layer includes image data representative of a facility; and
(ii) positioning, on the displayed portion of the map layer, a set of content control objects, wherein each content control object enables a user to load one or more content items via display objects superimposed on the map layer;
wherein;
the set of content control objects is selected from a collection of available content control objects based upon;
(a) the current navigation data; and
(b) one or more attributes of the user;
each content control object is bound to at least one building resource;
the one or more attributes of the user are indicative of access rights for building resources; and
the set of content control objects is selected from the collection of available content control objects based upon the user'"'"'s access rights with respect to the building resources to which the content control objects are bound.

Abstract
Described herein are frameworks, devices and methods configured for enabling display for facility information and content, in some cases via touch/gesture controlled interfaces. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed for allowing an operator to conveniently access a wide range of information relating to a facility via, for example, one or more wall mounted displays. While some embodiments will be described herein with particular reference to that application, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a field of use, and is applicable in broader contexts.

6. A computer implemented method for displaying building information to a user via a touch/gesture driven user interface that is rendered on a display screen, the method including:
-
receiving a signal indicative of navigation data for a map-based interface, wherein the map base interface is navigated by way of pan and zoom operations defined with respect to a map layer; and based upon the navigation data, providing image data for a map layer for rendering at a client device that provides the user interface; and based upon the navigation data, and based upon one or more attributes of the user, providing data indicative of one or more content control objects, wherein the client device renders the content control objects superimposed on the map layer. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
