Automatic configuration system for an operator console
First Claim
1. An automatic configuration system for an operator console wherein one or more operators control and monitor physical facilities, operations or physically dispersed services, said system comprising:
- wearable personal identification devices worn by the one or more operators, anda control unit communicating with said wearable personal identification devices in order to detect the presence of said one or more operators within a defined control room area,wherein each personal identification device includes a sensor unit for monitoring operator data, and is adapted to communicate said operator data to the control unit,wherein the control unit is adapted to;
configure the operator console based on said operator data,monitor a position of an operator relative to the operator console, andconfigure an information interface depending on the position by automatically moving the display of prioritized information closer to the sensed position of said operator from a first information display location located at a first distance from the operator to a second information display location located at a second distance from the operator, the first distance exceeding the second distance.
