Abstract

A console for a fuel delivery management system, including a processor, a touch-sensitive display, a plurality of ports configured to facilitate communications with a plurality of lines, tanks, containments, sensors and pumps, and a memory including a plurality of instructions which when executed by the processor cause the console to generate a home screen on the display, the home screen having a quick jump menu icon which when activated by a user, causes the processor to generate a navigation window on the home screen, the navigation window including a plurality of function icons, each corresponding to a function screen, wherein activation of one of the plurality of function icons causes the processor to generate a function screen including a graphic indication of a parameter of one of the plurality of lines, tanks, containments, sensors and pumps.

Claims (29)

1. A fuel delivery management system, the system including:

a console having:

a processor;

a touch-sensitive display;

a plurality of ports configured to facilitate communications with a plurality of lines, tanks, and pumps; and

a memory that contains instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

generate a home screen on the touch-sensitive display, the home screen having a navigation menu icon that, when activated by a user, causes the processor to generate a navigation window that overlays a portion of the home screen,

wherein the navigation window includes a plurality of user-interface elements including a first user-interface element that, when activated by a user,

causes the processor to enable user configuration of a second user-interface element,

wherein, when activated by a user subsequent to the user configuration, the second user-interface element causes the processor to present, on the touch-sensitive display, a screen that corresponds to the second user-interface element,

wherein, in addition to the first user-interface element, the plurality of user-interface elements in the navigation window further includes at least one user-interface navigation element that, when activated by a user, causes the processor to present, on the touch-sensitive display, a screen that corresponds to the activated user-interface navigation element, wherein:

the at least one user-interface navigation element includes a first user-interface navigation element and a second user-interface navigation element,

the first user-interface navigation element, when activated by a user, causes the processor to present, on the touch-sensitive display, a screen that corresponds to the first user-interface navigation element; and

the second user-interface navigation element, when activated by a user, causes the processor to present, on the touch-sensitive display, a screen that corresponds to the second user-interface navigation element, wherein the navigation menu icon is displayed:

 in a first location on the home screen,

 in the first location on the screen that corresponds to the first user-interface navigation element, and

 in the first location on the screen that corresponds to the second user-interface navigation element.

2. The fuel delivery management system of claim 1 , wherein the screen that corresponds to the first user-interface navigation element includes information regarding one of the plurality of lines, tanks, and pumps.

3. The fuel delivery management system of claim 1 , wherein the home screen further includes a status window that includes system status information and is displayed in one of a plurality of different ways, each corresponding to a different system status.

4. The fuel delivery management system of claim 3 , wherein the status window being activated by a user causes the processor to display an alarm screen.

5. The fuel delivery management system of claim 4 , wherein the alarm screen includes a hint field that provides information about an active alarm and recommendations for addressing the alarm.

6. The fuel delivery management system of claim 3 , wherein the status region is displayed:

in a second location on the home screen,

in the second location on the screen that corresponds to the first user-interface navigation element, and

in the second location on the screen that corresponds to the second user-interface navigation element.

7. The fuel delivery management system of claim 1 , wherein the screen that corresponds to the second user-interface element has a home icon that, when activated by a user, causes the processor to re-present the home screen on the touch-sensitive display.

8. The fuel delivery management system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of (i) the screen that corresponds to the first user-interface navigation element and (ii) the screen that corresponds to the second user-interface navigation element has a home icon that, when activated by a user, causes the processor to re-present the home screen on the touch-sensitive display.

9. The fuel delivery management system of claim 8 , wherein each of (i) the screen that corresponds to the first user-interface navigation element and (ii) the screen that corresponds to the second user-interface navigation element has such a home icon.

10. The fuel delivery management system of claim 1 , wherein the set of screens that corresponds collectively to the at least one user-interface navigation element makes up a proper subset of a total set of screens of the console.
