Method and Apparatus to Draw Attention to Information Presented via Electronic Displays to Process Plant Operators

摘要

Method/apparatus to draw attention to information presented to a process plant operator comprises presenting an electronic process plant display; collecting process plant data; processing the process plant data to identify a portion of a process plant; and modifying the electronic process plant display to at least partially obscure substantially all of the process plant display except for the identified portion. Alternatively a geometric region (505, fig.5) is identified around the portion of the process plant display wherein the information is highlighted or a spot lighter (405, fig.4) is used to identify a portion of the process plant. Preferably the portion of the process plant is associated with a piece of plant equipment.
