System for Monitoring Multiple Building Automation Systems
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving into a processing circuit from a requesting device via the Internet first identification information;
using the processing circuit to identify a plurality of geographically dispersed systems associated with the first identification information;
generating a data inquiry to a data system, the data inquiry including information identifying each of the plurality of geographically dispersed systems;
obtaining information from the data system for each of the plurality of geographically dispersed systems, such information including geographical coordinates and system status information; and
transmitting the obtained information via the Internet to the requesting device.

Abstract
A method for execution on a computing device includes transmitting first identification information to a server processing circuit via the Internet. The server processing circuit identifies a plurality of geographically dispersed systems corresponding to the first identification information. Information including geographical coordinates and system status information is received for each system. A set of geographical boundary coordinates are determined. Moreover, a visible characteristic value for each system is determined based on the corresponding system status information. A map presentation function executed by a second processing circuit displays a map based on the geographic boundary coordinates, and displays a plurality of visible indicators on the map. Each of the plurality of visible indicators has a position on the map corresponding the geographical coordinates of a corresponding system. Each of the plurality of visible indicators has a visible characteristic corresponding to the visible characteristic value of the corresponding system.
