| 20090158188 | CONFIGURABLE WALL MODULE SYSTEM - A configurable wall module having selectable home screens, custom menu navigation, and incorporating functional design. The display utilizes fixed segments. menu navigation and configuration which may be facilitated with soft keys having indicative labels associated with them. The parameters may be accessed from categories by soft keys via two-level menu navigation. Certain parameter value and setpoint entries may be effected with up/down keys. Module configuration may be performed by a user. To provide such user capability, the module may be programmed and configured by an installer with a software configuration tool used in connection with the building automation system associated with the module. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100100829 | WALL MODULE CONFIGURATION TOOL - The invention is a system for selecting and previewing a configuration for a wall module before a download of the configuration to the wall module. The configuration may be selected from a set of standard applications or it may be a customized standard application. The configuration may instead be a new application. The configuration may be changed, such as screen segment selection, during a preview of it. A memory usage meter may indicate how much memory is used relative to the amount available in the wall module for the configuration. Also the system may have an autobind to a controller feature for time parameters. New application or customized standard application configurations may be saved to a library for future use. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100245259 | SMALL SCREEN DISPLAY WITH A DATA FILTERING AND SORTING USER INTERFACE - A navigation approach having a data filtering and sorting for a user interface with a small screen display. The user interface may be used with a building control system. The sorting may be accomplished with a single button filter/sort key which when clicked opens up a floating window containing various sorting options. The single button takes little screen real estate but provides a user the flexibility to arrange data in such a way that results in high speed of access and productivity. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110160877 | APPROACH FOR SWITCHING BETWEEN POINT TYPES WITHOUT AFFECTING CONTROL LOGIC - An approach for switching between point types without affecting control logic. The control logic may have a function block, input and output points connected with links to the function block. A point may be changed from one type to another type of point without affecting its link. A type of point may be modulating, binary, software, constant, or other. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110160878 | MECHANISM FOR CONSTRUCTING GENERIC CONTROL LOGIC INCLUDING VERSIONS IN VARIOUS PROTOCOLS - A mechanism for constructing generic control logic with versions of the logic automatically generated and stored for one or more protocols. The complexity of the one or more protocols may be hidden under a hood of the mechanism from the view of engineers, programmers and users so as to improve their productivity relative to control logic designs and applications. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110160880 | PRIORITY SELECTION MECHANISM FOR DRIVING OUTPUTS FROM CONTROL LOGIC FOR CONTROLLERS OF VARIOUS PROTOCOLS - A priority selection mechanism for driving outputs from control logic which can be automatically translated to controllers of various protocols. The priority selection mechanism may assign a priority to the outputs and select the output having the highest priority as the output of the control logic. There may be an abstract representation of the priority logic which may permit a protocol mechanism to be used in the logic without the designer or user needing to know the details of the mechanism. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110161850 | GRAPHICAL APPROACH TO SETUP DATA SHARING BETWEEN TWO CONTROLLERS - A graphical approach to setup data sharing between two controllers. Symbols that represent controllers may be placed on a wiresheet. A link may be constructed between the controllers by connecting the symbols with a line drawn between them. The resulting link information may lead to a compile and download of binding tables to the pertinent controller. The designer or user need not setup several levels of mapping by populating multiple tables to effect the binding for a link between the controllers. This binding may be done automatically under a hood without the designer or user needing to be aware of the binding activity. This approach for graphically constructing a link may be particularly applicable to BACnet controllers. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110161992 | PROTOCOL INDEPENDENT PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENT - A protocol independent programming tool for constructing control logic. The control logic may be constructed without dealing in the details of an underlying protocol. The protocol details may be abstracted and exposed and generic points used in constructing the logic. The tool may automatically map or translate the points used in the logic to protocol specific entities. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20100246602 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REMOTE COMMUNICATION AND TRANSMISSION PROTOCOLS - A communication apparatus for remote communication may include a local communication proxy module configured to receive streams from a local communication application module. The streams may be in a form utilizing a first transmission protocol and destined to a remote destination. The local communication proxy module may be configured to add first header information including one or more of the following: a packet sequence identifier, a packet size, a packet type identifier, and additional information related to a packet type identifier. The local communication proxy module may be configured to add second header information. The local communication proxy module may be also configured to form packets and to facilitate sending, utilizing a second transmission protocol, the packets in real-time over a network to a remote communication proxy module. A machine-readable medium and a method are also disclosed. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100250767 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ACCELERATING STREAMS THROUGH USE OF TRANSPARENT PROXY ARCHITECTURE - A communication apparatus for remote communication may include a local transparent proxy module configured to intercept a first stream destined to a remote destination and configured to make a first determination whether to accelerate communication associated with the first stream. The communication apparatus may include a local proxy module configured to receive the first stream based on the first determination and configured to make a second determination whether a connection to a remote proxy module is established. If the connection is established, then the local proxy module may receive one or more additional streams and may direct the one or more additional streams to the remote proxy module utilizing an accelerated mode. If the connection is not established, then the local transparent proxy module may direct the first stream to the remote destination utilizing a non-accelerated mode. A machine-readable medium and a method are also disclosed. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100250768 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING MODES AND DIRECTING STREAMS IN REMOTE COMMUNICATION - A communication apparatus for remote communication may include a first local module configured to intercept a first stream. The first stream may utilize a first transmission protocol and may be destined to a remote destination over a network. The first local module may be configured to make a determination whether to direct the first stream over a first connection to a first destination utilizing the first transmission protocol or to direct the first stream over a second connection to a second destination utilizing a second transmission protocol. The determination may be based on one or more of the following: a configuration or a network condition. The first local module may be configured to direct the first stream to the first destination or the second destination based on the determination. The second transmission protocol is different from the first transmission protocol. A machine-readable medium and a method are also disclosed. | 09-30-2010 |
