GRAPHICAL DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR A HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A method of providing graphical displays that indicate status of a plurality of machine systems wherein a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) system processes status data from the machine systems to generate the graphical displays, the method comprising:
- receiving selection information indicating a selected communication device and a selected set of the graphical displays;
transferring HMI interface software from the HMI system based on the selection information for delivery to the communication device;
receiving and processing a display request transferred from the communication device to transfer the selected set of the graphical displays; and
transferring for delivery to the communication device the selected set of the graphical displays.

Abstract
A graphical display system comprises a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) system and a communication device. The HMI system processes status data from a plurality of machine systems to generate graphical displays indicating status of the machine systems. The HMI system is receives selection information indicating the communication device and a selected set of the graphical displays. The HMI system transfers HMI interface software based on the selection information. The communication device receives and processes the HMI interface software to transfer a display request for the selected set of the graphical displays. The HMI system receives and processes the display request to transfer the selected set of the graphical displays. The communication device receives and displays the selected set of the graphical displays.
