Computer-assisted graphical user interface generation for equipment monitoring/control unit involves forming user interface according to base structure, inserting static and dynamic detail data

摘要

The method involves determining a graphical user interface base structure from a base configuration data file, determining equipment-specific static detail data from a device-specific configuration file depending on the base structure, determining dynamic detail data provided by the device to be controled describing a device state and forming the graphical user interface according to the base structure, inserting static and dynamic detail data. The method involves determining a base structure (2206) of the graphical user interface (2204) from a base configuration data file (2205), determining equipment-specific static detail data (2208) from an equipment-specific configuration data file depending on the base structure, determining dynamic detail data (2210) provided by the device to be controled and that describe a state of the device and forming the graphical user interface in accordance with the base structure, inserting the static and dynamic detail data. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: an equipment monitoring /control unit.
