Method and system for providing isolated detail information about stations which are simultaneously active in an irrigation system
First Claim
1. A method, implemented on a computer, for providing information about stations in an irrigation system which are simultaneously active, comprising:
- on a display of a computer, displaying an irrigation flow curve image which summarizes flow information for an irrigation system;
wherein the irrigation flow curve image indicates actual flow vs. time, andwherein the detail information is a history of actual irrigation per station, the stations which are simultaneously active at the time being determined by referring to the actual irrigation;
interacting with a user to receive an indication from a user interface pointing device of a position within a flow curve area of the irrigation flow curve image on the display;
determining which stations in the irrigation system are simultaneously active throughout a same runtime corresponding to a time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, as distinguished from a station which has inactivity at a point in the same runtime; and
on the display of the computer, displaying detail information isolating the stations in the irrigation system determined to be simultaneously active throughout the same runtime corresponding to the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, wherein the detail information further individually indicates irrigation activity for the stations determined to be simultaneously active at the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, and the stations being grouped on the display by individual satellites, the stations which are not simultaneously active being omitted from the display.

Abstract
A method provides information about stations in an irrigation system which are simultaneously active. An irrigation flow curve image is displayed which summarizes flow information for an irrigation system. The method interacts with a user to receive an indication from a user interface pointing device of a position within a flow curve area of the irrigation flow curve image on the display. The method retrieves detail information for stations in the irrigation system which are simultaneously active at a time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device. Detail information is displayed isolating the stations in the irrigation system which are simultaneously active at the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, wherein the detail information further individually indicates irrigation activity for stations which are simultaneously active at the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device.

6. A computer system, comprising:
-
a display operable to receive screens to be displayed to a user; a user interface pointing device operable to indicate a position on the display; and a processor cooperatively operable with the display and the user interface pointing device, and configured to facilitate providing information about stations in an irrigation system which are simultaneously active, comprising; displaying, on the display, an irrigation flow curve image which summarizes flow information for an irrigation system; wherein the irrigation flow curve image indicates actual flow vs. time, and wherein the detail information is a history of actual irrigation per station, the stations which are simultaneously active at the time being determined by referring to the actual irrigation; interacting with a user to receive an indication from the user interface pointing device of a position within a flow curve area of the irrigation flow curve image on the display; determining which stations in the irrigation system are simultaneously active throughout a same runtime corresponding to a time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, as distinguished from a station which has inactivity at a point in the same runtime; and on the display of the computer, displaying detail information isolating the stations in the irrigation system determined to be simultaneously active throughout the same runtime corresponding to the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, wherein the detail information further individually indicates irrigation activity for the stations determined to be simultaneously active at the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, and the stations being grouped on the display by individual satellites, the stations which are not simultaneously active being omitted from the display. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions being executed by a computer, the instructions including a computer-implemented method for providing information about stations in an irrigation system which are simultaneously active, the instructions for implementing:
-
on a display of a computer, displaying an irrigation flow curve image which summarizes flow information for an irrigation system; interacting with a user to receive an indication from a user interface pointing device of a position within a flow curve area of the irrigation flow curve image on the display; determining which stations in the irrigation system are simultaneously active throughout a same runtime corresponding to a time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, as distinguished from a station which has inactivity at a point in the same runtime; and on the display of the computer, displaying detail information isolating the stations in the irrigation system determined to be simultaneously active throughout the same runtime corresponding to the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, wherein the detail information further individually indicates irrigation activity for stations which are simultaneously active at the time indicated by the position of the user interface pointing device, and the stations being grouped on the display by individual satellites, the stations which are not simultaneously active being omitted from the display. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
