20150113507 | METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC GROUPING OF INTERLINKED GRAPHICAL CONFIGURATION ELEMENTS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - The present disclosure relates to a method and computer program product for grouping a plurality of interlinked graphical configuration elements (GCEs) into a resulting graphical functional element (GFE). The method and computer program product receive a selection of the plurality of interlinked GCEs to be grouped. The method and computer program product create the resulting GFE by: identifying inputs and outputs of the plurality of GCEs; identifying from the inputs and outputs root inputs and exiting outputs; generating for each root input/exiting output a root input/exiting output graphical representation identifier in the resulting GFE; generating the resulting GFE including the root input/exiting output graphical representation identifiers; graphically linking the root input/exiting output graphical representation identifiers to corresponding GCEs outside of the plurality of interlinked GCEs; and displaying the resulting GFE in replacement of the plurality of interlinked GCEs. | 04-23-2015 |
20150109095 | METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR INTERCONNECTING FUNCTIONAL GRAPHICAL ELEMENTS - The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for interconnecting functional graphical elements. The method identifies a first functional graphical element on a display of a computer. The method further identifies at least one second functional graphical element on the display. The method then determines by a processor of the computer that the at least one second functional graphical element has a pre-determined position on the display with respect to the first functional graphical element. The method then functionally connects the at least one second functional graphical element to the first functional graphical element. | 04-23-2015 |
20150098357 | ENVIRONMENT CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD USING A WIFI INFRASTRUCTURE FOR EXCHANGING ENVIRONMENTAL DATA - The present disclosure relates to an environment control device (ECD) and a method using a wireless communication infrastructure for exchanging environmental data. The wireless communication infrastructure comprises a first Wi-Fi hotspot, and at least one of a second Wi-Fi hotspot and a mesh network. The ECD comprises a communication module for exchanging environmental data with at least another device over the wireless communication infrastructure. The communication module is capable of establishing the first Wi-Fi hotspot, associating with the second Wi-Fi hotspot, and communicating over the mesh network. The ECD further comprises a processing module capable of processing environmental data received from the other device via the wireless communication infrastructure, and/or transmitting generated environmental data to the other device via the wireless communication infrastructure. The ECD may consist of an environment controller, a sensor, a controlled appliance, and a relay for wired devices. | 04-09-2015 |
