Systems and methods for providing dynamic building interfaces
There is described a user mobile device and an enterprise gateway for providing dynamic building interfaces. The gateway receives a request for cards from the device, and the device receives the cards from the gateway in response to the request. Each card has a structure corresponding to one of multiple pre-defined templates. Each card has an assigned rank and is associated with a list of cards defined when the cards are ordered in accordance with the assigned rank. The assigned rank of each card is based at least in part on a user target profile associated with the user mobile device and the customer identification. The gateway comprises a processor that determines an assigned rank for each card based at least in part on a user target profile associated with the user mobile device and the customer identification. The device provides at least one card of the list of cards.

6. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein providing at least one card comprises selectively scrolling a subset of the list of cards into view of the display in accordance with the assigned rank.
7. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein each user interface card template includes a template ID, a title field and at least one of an image field, a data field, or an action field.
8. A user mobile device comprising:
a communication component configured to transmits a request for a plurality of cards associated with a customer identification of a building management system and receives the plurality of cards from an enterprise gateway in response to the request,
wherein each of the plurality of cards having a structure corresponding to one of a plurality of pre-defined user interface card templates, and
wherein each of the plurality of cards having an assigned rank and being associated with a list of cards defined when the plurality of cards are ordered in accordance with the assigned rank, the assigned rank of a respective card being based at least in part on a user target profile associated with the user mobile device and the customer identification; and
an output component configured to provide at least one card of the list of cards.
9. The user mobile device as described in claim 8 , wherein the user target profile includes at least one of an identification, a location, an environment, or a user action of the user mobile device.
10. The user mobile device as described in claim 8 , wherein:
the communication component transmits user mobile device data to the enterprise gateway;
the user target profile is based on the user mobile device data; and
the user mobile device data includes at least one of automated device collected data, user input data, or semi-automated user input data.
11. The user mobile device as described in claim 8 , wherein:
the plurality of cards includes a service card associated with a service provided by an external service provider; and
the service card correlates the user target profile with the service provided by the external service provider.
12. The user mobile device as described in claim 8 , wherein the output component provides a plurality of highest ranked cards of the list of cards based on a dimension of the output component.
13. The user mobile device as described in claim 8 , wherein output component selectively scrolls a subset of the list of cards into view of the output component in accordance with the assigned rank.
14. The user mobile device as described in claim 8 , wherein each user interface card template includes a template ID, a title field and at least one of an image field, a data field, or an action field.
15. A method of an enterprise gateway comprising:
receiving a request from a user mobile device for a plurality of cards associated with a customer identification of a building management system, each card having a structure corresponding to one of a plurality of pre-defined user interface card templates;
determining an assigned rank for each of the plurality of cards based at least in part on a user target profile associated with the user mobile device and the customer identification, each of the plurality of cards being associated with a list of cards defined when the plurality of cards are ordered in accordance with the assigned rank; and
transmitting the plurality of cards to the user mobile device.
16. The method as described in claim 15 , wherein the user target profile includes at least one of an identification, a location, an environment, or a user action of the user mobile device.
17. The method as described in claim 15 , further comprising receiving user mobile device data from the user mobile device, wherein:
the user target profile is based on the user mobile device data; and
the user mobile device data includes at least one of automated device collected data, user input data, or semi-automated user input data.
18. The method as described in claim 15 , wherein:
the plurality of cards includes a service card associated with a service provided by an external service provider; and
the service card correlates the user target profile with the service provided by the external service provider.
19. The method as described in claim 15 , wherein each user interface card template includes a template ID, a title field and at least one of an image field, a data field, or an action field.
20. An enterprise gateway comprising:
a communication component configured to receive a request from a user mobile device for a plurality of cards associated with a customer identification of a building management system and transmit the plurality of cards to the user mobile device, each card having a structure corresponding to one of a plurality of pre-defined user interface card templates; and
