First Claim
Patent Images
1. A building control system comprising:
- a building control network;
a computer and a computer program executed by the computer,wherein the computer program comprises computer instructions for obtaining first data indicative of a condition sensed by the building control system, obtaining second data indicative of the location of the sensed condition, and associating the location of the sensed condition with a virtual location of a three dimensional model of a portion of a building wherein the condition was sensed;
and a mobile display unit operably connectable to the computer through the building control network configured to render a three dimensional image indicative of the sensed condition at the associated virtual location of the model with one of a plurality of viewpoints, each viewpoint in the plurality having a different viewing angle with respect to the three dimensional image.

Abstract
A method and apparatus uses a stored model of a building system to render an image showing a condition sensed of the building control system on a mobile display unit. The mobile display unit may be wirelessly integrated into the building control system. The mobile display unit may operate based upon voice commands and/or eye tracking.

9. A method of graphically rendering a graphical representation of a condition sensed by a building control system comprising:
- storing a three dimensional model of at least a portion of a building in a memory of a computer;
obtaining first data indicative of the condition sensed by the building control system;
obtaining second data indicative of the location of the sensed condition;
associating the location of the sensed condition with a virtual location of the stored model; and
rendering a first image indicative of the sensed condition at the associated virtual location of the model on a mobile display unit with a first viewpoint, wherein the first viewpoint is one viewpoint in a plurality of viewpoints, each viewpoint in the plurality having a different viewing angle with respect to the three dimensional image. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method of rendering a graphical representation of a condition in a building system comprising:
- obtaining data indicative of the condition;
sending the data to a mobile display unit with access to a stored model of the building system;
associating the location of the condition with a virtual location of the model; and
rendering an image indicative of the obtained data at the associated virtual location of the condition in the model with the mobile display unit, the image being rendered with one of a plurality of viewpoints, each viewpoint in the plurality having a different viewing angle with respect to the three dimensional image. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
