Method for zone based energy management system with scalable map interface
First Claim
1. A method of managing a site in a mobile environment, comprising:
- providing a web-based control selector within a hosted web application accessible using a computer and a mobile device, wherein the hosted web application is stored using a server;
providing a mobile-based control selector within a user interface of the mobile device, the web-based control selector and the mobile-based control selector in communication with a detection module in order to manage at least one network device at a site;
allowing each of the web-based and mobile-based control selectors to be toggled between an enabled setting and a disabled setting;
enabling the detection module in response to the enabled setting of at least one of the web-based control selector and the mobile-based control selector;
determining a location of the mobile device using the enabled detection module;
altering an operating condition of the at least one network device using the enabled detection module, wherein the altering of the operating condition is initiated based on the location of the mobile device;

Abstract
A method of managing energy use of a network device located at a site with a mobile device is provided. The method proceeds by determining a plurality of zones about the site and detecting a current location of the mobile device relative to the plurality of zones. The method continues by altering the operating condition of the network device in response to detecting the mobile device changing zones. A graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed within the display screen of the mobile device. A map presenting the site location, the plurality of zones disposed about the site location, and the current location of the mobile device is displayed within the GUI along with a distance selector including selectable distance values. The method further includes automatically scaling the plurality of zones and the map in response to changing the selectable distance value using the distance selector.
