FRAMEWORKS, DEVICES AND METHODS CONFIGURED FOR ENABLING TRANSITION OF CONTENT IN A USER INTERFACE BETWEEN A MAP-BOUND LAYER AND A MAP-UNBOUND LAYER

摘要

Described herein are frameworks, devices and methods configured for enabling display for facility information and content, in some cases via touch/gesture controlled interfaces. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed for allowing an operator to conveniently access a wide range of information relating to a facility via, for example, one or more wall mounted displays. While some embodiments will be described herein with particular reference to that application, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a field of use, and is applicable in broader contexts.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for displaying building information to a user via a touch/gesture driven user interface that is rendered on a display screen, the method including:
displaying a map layer, the map layer including image data representative of a facility, wherein the user interface is navigated by way of pan and zoom operations defined with respect to the map layer; and enabling loading one or more content items via display objects superimposed on the map layer; enabling the user to move a given display object between: a map bound layer, wherein the display object is bound to the map layer for pan and/or zoom operations; and a map unbound layer, wherein the position and/or size of the display object remains constant relative to the display screen independent of pan and/or zoom operations.
