Method for generating a flexible display field for a video surveillance system
First Claim
1. A method for generating a flexible display field on a monitor, comprising the steps of providing a display field with a main window, into which a plurality of information windows are incorporatable and which has a basic grid with a regular raster;
- allocating individual grid fields to a respective information window for displaying in an assigned grid field;
setting a grid stage of a basic field via a central first user control device for the main window;
switching the main window between a regular grid occupancy in which a size of each incorporated information window corresponds to a size of one grid field of the basic field, and an irregular grid occupancy in which a size of at least one information window corresponds to a size of an integral multiple of one grid field of the basic grid;
initiating a switchover of a user by a selection and a change in size of an information window; and
effecting the switchover as soon as a corner point of a frame attached by and dragged with a computer mouse is moved just beyond a diagonal of an adjacent grid field.

14. A computer program product, comprising:
a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising the steps of providing a display field with a main window, into which a plurality of information windows are incorporatable and which has a basic grid with a regular raster;
allocating individual grid fields to a respective information window for displaying in an assigned grid field;
setting a grid stage of a basic field via a central first user control device for the main window;
switching the main window between a regular grid occupancy in which a size of each incorporated information window corresponds to a size of one grid field of the basic field, and an irregular grid occupancy in which a size of at least one information window corresponds to a size of an integral multiple of one grid field of the basic grid;
initiating a switchover of a user by means of a selection and a change in size of an information window, wherein the program is executed on a computer; and
effecting the switchover as soon as a corner point of a frame attached by and dragged with a computer mouse is moved just beyond a diagonal of an adjacent grid field.
