System and method for visualization of history of events using BIM model

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided, wherein the method includes the steps of a building information model (BIM) of a security system providing a three-dimensional view of a secured area of the security system, including the physical location of any sensors of the security system, an input device of the security system receiving from a user a starting time and ending time of a time interval of interest, and a processor of the security system displaying the three-dimensional view of the secured area, including a time scale showing the starting time on one end of the time scale and the ending time at an opposing end of the time scale and a respective popup of details for each corresponding sensor of at least some sensors of the security system activated during the time interval of interest, each respective popup graphically connected to the physical location of the corresponding sensor within the three dimensional view.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
a building information model (BIM) of a security system providing a three-dimensional representation of a secured area of the security system, including a physical location of sensors of the security system; an events processor detecting activation events from the sensors of the security system and storing the detected activation events in an events file, wherein the events file stores, for each respective activation event, a respective sensor that detected the respective activation event and a respective time when the respective sensor detected the respective activation event; an input device of the security system receiving, from a user, a starting time and an ending time of a time interval of interest; and a display processor of the security system displaying the three-dimensional representation of the secured area, including a time scale showing the starting time on one end of the time scale and the ending time at an opposing end of the time scale, and indicating, on the three-dimensional representation, each detected activation event stored in the events file that occurred after the starting time and before the ending time by generating a respective popup of details for each detected activation event, the display processor displaying the respective popup when a time indicator associated with the time scale corresponds to the respective time stored in the events file when the respective sensor activated the display processor displaying the respective popup at a geographic location corresponding to the respective sensor that detected the respective activation event within the three-dimensional representation.
