Method for zone based energy management system with scalable map interface
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a plurality of zones associated with a site using an application hosted by a mobile device, wherein the plurality of zones include a first zone defined by the site and a second zone defined by a boundary determined at a distance away from the site;
detecting a current location of the mobile device using the application hosted by the mobile device;
displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) within a display screen of the mobile device including a map presenting graphics corresponding to the site and the first and second zones and the current location of the mobile device with respect to the first and second zones; and
initiating and altering an operating condition of a network device located at the site in response to detecting the mobile device changing zones outside of the boundary.

Abstract
A method of managing energy use of a network device located at a site with a mobile device is provided. The method proceeds by determining a plurality of zones about the site and detecting a current location of the mobile device relative to the plurality of zones. The method continues by altering the operating condition of the network device in response to detecting the mobile device changing zones. A graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed within the display screen of the mobile device. A map presenting the site location, the plurality of zones disposed about the site location, and the current location of the mobile device is displayed within the GUI along with a distance selector including selectable distance values. The method further includes automatically scaling the plurality of zones and the map in response to changing the selectable distance value using the distance selector.

10. A method of managing energy use of a network device with a mobile device having a display screen comprising:
-
detecting a location of the network device; associating a site location with the location of the network device; determining a plurality of zones about the site location; detecting a current location of the mobile device relative to the plurality of zones, determining when the mobile device changes between the zones in response to detecting the current location of the mobile device; altering the operating condition of the network device in response to detecting the mobile device changing zones; displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) within the display screen of the mobile device including a map presenting the site location and the plurality of zones disposed about the site location; and displaying a graphic within the map presenting the current location of the mobile device with respect to the plurality of zones. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
