Method and system for monitoring an industrial system involving an eye tracking system
First Claim
1. A method for notifying at least a first condition and a second condition in an industrial system, the first condition being abnormal behavior in the industrial system, by means of a monitoring system, the method comprising:
- displaying the first condition in a first portion of a display screen of the monitoring system,determining by means of eye-tracking an area where a user focuses on the display screen,if the area where the user focuses differs from the first portion, alerting the user of the first condition in order to allow the user to be notified of the first condition in the industrial system, the alerting comprises magnifying at least one object displayed in the first portion of the display screen,displaying the second condition of the industrial system in a second portion of the display screen, the second portion differing from the area where the user focuses, magnifying at least one object displayed in the second portion of the display screen, anddetermining a weight parameter for each of the first and the second condition, wherein the step of magnifying is first performed for those objects which are associated with that condition of the first or second condition which has a weight parameter corresponding to a most severe condition in the industrial system.

9. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium on which computer executable code is stored, which computer executable code when executed performs a method for notifying at least a first condition and a second condition in an industrial system, the first condition being abnormal behavior in the industrial system, by means of a monitoring system, the method comprising:
-
displaying the first condition in a first portion of a display screen of the monitoring system, determining by means of eye-tracking an area where a user focuses on the display screen, if the area where the user focuses differs from the first portion, alerting the user of the first condition in order to allow the user to be notified of the first condition in the industrial system, the alerting comprises magnifying at least one object displayed in the first portion of the display screen, displaying the second condition of the industrial system in a second portion of the display screen, the second portion differing from the area where the user focuses, magnifying at least one object displayed in the second portion of the display screen, and determining a weight parameter for each of the first and the second condition, wherein the step of magnifying is first performed for those objects which are associated with that condition of the first or second condition which has a weight parameter corresponding to a most severe condition in the industrial system.

10. A monitoring system for monitoring an industrial system, the monitoring system comprising:
-
an input unit arranged to receive data from the industrial system, the data comprising information of a first condition of the industrial system, the first condition being abnormal behavior of the industrial system, a display device having a display screen arranged to display the first condition of the industrial system in a first portion of the display screen, an eye-tracking unit arranged to determine an area where a user of the monitoring system focuses on the display screen, a processor arranged to provide an alert to the monitoring system so as to notify the user of the first condition when the area where the user focuses differs from the first portion of the display screen, the processor is arranged to magnify objects in the first portion of the display screen to thereby provide the alert, the input unit is further arranged to receive data from the industrial system comprising information of a second condition of the industrial system, the display device is further configured to display the second condition of the industrial system in a second portion of the display screen, the processor is further arranged to magnify objects in the second portion of the display screen when the area where the user focuses differs from the second portion, the processor is arranged to determine a weight parameter for each of the first and the second condition and to magnify those objects which are associated with that condition of the first or second condition which has a weight parameter corresponding to a most severe condition in the industrial system first. - View Dependent Claims (16)
