SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOCATION-BASED CONTROL OF EQUIPMENT AND FACILITY RESOURCES
First Claim
1. A method for providing control of equipment and facility resources via a mobile device of a user based on location, the method comprising:
- detecting location information of a user in or near a facility using a position sensor;
communicating, wirelessly from a mobile device of the user, the location information to a server;
determining one or more actions available to the user based on the location information, the actions representative of actions available in an Industrial Control System (ICS) application; and
communicating wirelessly to the mobile device instructions to cause the mobile device to display in a user interface the determined one or more actions to the user, the user interface enabling the user to receive messages and interact with equipment or facility resources located in proximity of the user by interacting with the one or more actions displayed in the user interface.

Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provide for a method, a system, and a computer readable medium for providing automation and control of equipment and facility resources via a mobile device of a user. Location information of a user in or near a facility is detected using a position sensor. The location information is communicated wirelessly from a mobile device of the user to a server. One or more actions are determined as being available to the user based on the location information and user role, where the actions are representative of the actions available in an ICS application. Instructions are communicated to cause the mobile device to display the determined actions in a user interface, enabling the user to receive messages and interact with equipment or facility resources located in proximity of the user by interacting with the one or more actions displayed in the user interface.
