Graphical user interface for the multi-dimensional representation of energy control

摘要

A multi-dimensional energy control system is provided with an energy management software application that organizes the consumption of energy by a device as an n-dimensional energy space, where n is an integer greater than 2, and each axis in the energy space represents an energy consumption characteristic. The energy management application generates instructions for a device in response to calculating a compromise operating point in the energy space. A user interface (UI) connected to the energy management application has a display to receive a graphical representation of the energy space and compromise operating point, and an input to receive user commands for moving the represented compromise operating point in the represented energy space. The energy management application calculates the compromise operating point in the energy space to match the displayed compromise operating point.

主权项

1. A multi-dimensional energy control graphical user interface (GUI) comprising:
a processor; a non-transitory memory; a display; an energy management GUI application enabled as a sequence of software instructions stored in the non-transitory memory and executed by the processor; wherein the energy management GUI application presents a graphical representation of energy consumption by a device as a n-dimensional energy space polygon, where n is an integer greater than 2, and each vertex of the polygon represents an energy consumption characteristic, wherein the energy management GUI application presents a compromise operating point on the display, receives user commands for moving the represented compromise operating point in the represented energy space, and calculates the compromise operating point in the energy space to match the displayed compromise operating point.
