Central Control Timeline Display for Integrated Facility Histories
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional building management systems require operators to perform individual searches for various types of history data, making it difficult to find related issues, increasing recognition costs and reducing operating efficiency due to distributed information and reliance on experience.
Innovation Solution
A central control apparatus and system that integrates history data display by time period, using a processing unit to generate and display history data on an interface screen, including a timeline window and setting windows for configuration, allowing for intuitive association between history information and current facility status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If individual history searches are performed for each type of history data, then operators can search for specific history information, but operators must memorize multiple search results through separate procedures, increasing recognition cost and reducing operating efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple types of history data (facility history, user action history, reservation control history, alarm history) into a single integrated display interface. This allows operators to view all relevant history information simultaneously through one search operation rather than performing separate searches for each history type and memorizing multiple results, thereby reducing recognition cost and improving ease of operation.
2Reliability
If various types of history searches are performed individually, then operators can find specific history data, but it becomes difficult to find related problems when the cause is complicated, reducing building operating efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated display interface merges multiple history data types into a unified view, enabling operators to see correlations between different history records (facility operations, user actions, reservations, alarms) simultaneously. This holistic view improves problem diagnosis accuracy by revealing relationships that would be difficult to detect through separate searches, while also improving operating efficiency by eliminating the need for multiple sequential search operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent displays history data in a time-based dimensional framework, organizing different types of history information along a temporal axis. This allows operators to view how various history elements relate to each other over time, providing a new dimension for analyzing complicated problems that involve multiple factors occurring at different times.
3Loss of information
If history information is distributed across multiple search results, then operators can access specific data types, but information such as histories is distributed, making it difficult for the operator to perform integrated search and intuitive decision
Solution Approach 1:
The patent consolidates multiple distributed history information sources into a single integrated display. This unified interface presents facility history, user action history, reservation control history, and alarm history together in one view, eliminating the need for operators to perform multiple separate searches and reducing the complexity of search procedures while maintaining access to all necessary information.
