Presenting information regarding conditions of an environment with a visual representation of the environment
First Claim
1. A method of operating a computing device of an environmental monitoring system that monitors at least one condition of an environment, the environmental monitoring system comprising at least one environmental sensor unit disposed in the environment and the computing device, the environment being managed by an operator, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the computing device from the operator, a visual representation of the environment in which the at least one environmental sensor unit is disposed, the visual representation of the environment comprising at least one graphic corresponding to at least one structural and/or topographical element of the environment;
identifying a position, in the visual representation of the environment, that corresponds to a location, in the environment, of a first sensor unit of the at least one environmental sensor unit; and
configuring a user interface that presents information regarding the environment, the configuring comprising configuring the user interface to;
display the visual representation, anddisplay information related to the first sensor unit so as to indicate a relationship between the information and the position corresponding to the location of the first sensor unit.

Abstract
Configuring a user interface by which a user can view information regarding one or more conditions of an environment collected by an environmental monitoring system. An environmental monitoring system comprises one or more sensor units disposed in an environment and one or more servers. The servers may receive from an operator of the environment a visual representation of the environment and may identify a position in the visual representation corresponding to the location and configure a user interface to present information regarding the environment based at least in part on the positions. The user interface can be configured to display the visual representation and display information related to the first sensor unit so as to indicate a relationship between the information and the position corresponding to the location of the first sensor unit. Information identifying a location of one or more sensor units may be determined through an automated process.

20. At least one computer-readable storage medium encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one computer, cause the at least one computer to carry out a method of operating a computing device of an environmental monitoring system that monitors at least one condition of an environment, the environmental monitoring system comprising at least one environmental sensor unit disposed in the environment and the computing device, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at the computing device from an operator of a plurality of operators from which the computing device is configured to receive information, a visual representation of the environment in which the at least one sensor unit is disposed, the visual representation of the environment illustrating at least one structural and/or topographical element of the environment; identifying, for a location at which a first sensor unit is disposed in the environment, a position in the visual representation of the environment that corresponds to the location in the environment; and configuring a user interface that presents information regarding the environment, the configuring comprising configuring the user interface to; display the visual representation, and display information related to the first sensor unit so as to indicate a relationship between the information and the position corresponding to the location of the first sensor unit. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. An environmental monitoring system that monitors at least one condition of an environment, the environment being managed by an operator, the environmental monitoring system comprising:
-
at least one environmental sensor unit disposed in the environment; and a computing device, the computing device comprising; at least one processor; and at least one computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out a method comprising; receiving, at the computing device from the operator, a visual representation of the environment in which the at least one sensor unit is disposed, the visual representation being a graphical diagram of the environment; identifying a position in the visual representation of the environment that corresponds to a location in the environment of a first sensor unit of the at least one environmental sensor unit; and configuring a user interface that presents information regarding the environment, the configuring comprising configuring the user interface to; display the visual representation, and display information related to the first sensor unit so as to indicate a relationship between the information and the position corresponding to the location of the first sensor unit. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
