Abstract

Some embodiments provide a system that includes a sensor management module and a visualization module. The sensor management module may be configured to manage a plurality of sensors. The plurality of sensors may be configured to measure values associated with inputs therein. The visualization module may be configured to provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a time chart tool for selecting a time period associated with a sensor of the plurality of sensors. The visualization module may be further configured to create an event with a start time based on the time period associated with the sensor.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a sensor management module configured to manage a plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors is configured to measure values associated with inputs therein; and

a visualization module configured to provide a graphical user interface (GUI) for modifying an already created event, wherein the already created event is associated with a first subset of the plurality of sensors, wherein the already created event has a start time and an end time,

and wherein the modifying is associated with changing the first subset and to form a second subset of the plurality of sensors, and wherein the start time and the end time are modified in response to the modifying of the already created event.

2. The system as described in claim 1, wherein modifying the event comprises adding a sensor to the first subset of the plurality of sensors to form the second subset of the plurality of sensors.

3. The system as described in claim 2, wherein the start time of the already created event is modified to a start time associated with the added sensor when the start time associated with the added sensor is a time later than the start time of the already created event.

4. The system as described in claim 2, wherein the start time of the already created event is modified to a start time associated with the added sensor when the start time associated with the added sensor is a time later than the start time of the already created event.

5. The system as described in claim 1, wherein modifying the event comprises removing a sensor from the first subset of the plurality of sensors to form the second subset of the plurality of sensors.
