Embodiment Construction

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a convenient and intuitive software development environment for developing custom user interfaces that provide complete real-time control over groups of electrical / electronic devices and systems. In addition to providing complete real-time control of the electrical / electronic devices, users of the present invention can time instructions to be executed for groups of electrical / electronic devices, or command groups of electrical / electronic devices to respond to specific conditions.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the customized user interface works over a communication network and provides the user with a virtual representation of a physical environment such as a room, building ground, or outdoor facility (such as a stadium, shopping mall, parking lot, etc.). Any physical environment including a plurality of electrical / electronic devices can be represented virtually in accordance with the present invention. Mor...

Abstract

A convenient and intuitive software development environment for graphically grouping together groups of electrical / electronic devices and providing substantially real-time control of graphically selected groups of electrical / electronic devices and systems. In addition to substantially real-time control of a graphically selected group of electrical / electronic devices, users of the present invention can schedule commands to be executed for a group of graphically selected electrical / electronic devices, or command a group of graphically selected electrical / electronic devices to respond to a particular condition.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to automation hardware and software systems, and more particularly to systems for selectively controlling a plurality of electrical / electronic devices in groups. Background technique [0002] Remote control and monitoring of electrical / electronic systems such as lighting control systems is currently known. For example, the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface ("DALI") provides digital addressing of lighting control systems and can be used to regulate loads, such as controlling light levels over a communication network. Using DALI, each lighting fixture has its own independent digital address, thereby enabling remote communication with that fixture. Thus, the lights can be turned on and off by commands issued by the remote console. A central controller processes the instructions and issues responsive instructions to control the lighting devices. [0003] Despite the great convenience provided by remote contro...
