Abstract

A building system including one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to generate a user interface comprising a 2-dimensional (2D) model of a building and a 3-dimensional (3D) model of the building. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to receive a first user input indicating a selection of a first object. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to determine a physical space or equipment represented by the first object and one or more events associated with the physical space or equipment. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to receive a second user input indicating creation of an incident based on the one or more events and to initiate an automated response process in response to the creation of the incident.

Claims (53)

1. A building system comprising:

one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

generate a user interface comprising a 2-dimensional (2D) model of a building and a 3-dimensional (3D) model of the building;

receive a first user input via the user interface, the first user input indicating a selection of a first object in the 2D model or the 3D model;

determine a physical space or equipment represented by the first object;

determine one or more events associated with the physical space or equipment;

receive a second user input via the user interface, the second user input indicating creation of an incident based on the one or more events; and

initiate an automated response process in response to the creation of the incident.

2. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

receive a third user input associated with adjusting a view of one of the 2D model or the 3D model; and

automatically update a view of the other of the 2D model or the 3D model based on the third user input.

3. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

upon the creation of the incident, identify related objections within an affected space associated with the one or more events.

4. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

receive a third user input indicating a filter parameter for at least one of the 2D model or the 3D model; and

filter objects displayed within the at least one of the 2D model or the 3D model based on the filter parameter.

5. The building system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one of the 2D model or the 3D model is only one of the 2D model or the 3D model.

6. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

upon receiving the first user input indicating the selection of the first object, display information pertaining to the first object via the user interface.

7. The building system of claim 6 , wherein the information is presented as one of a pop-up or an overlay on the user interface.

8. The building system of claim 6 , wherein the information comprises real-time information received from one of the physical space or equipment associated with the first object.

9. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to:

upon determining the one or more events associated with the physical space or equipment represented by the first object, flashing or highlighting the first object within at least one of the 2D model or the 3D model.

10. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the 2D model of the building is one of an aerial view, and overhead view, or a floorplan of the building.

11. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the 2D model of the building and the 3D model of the building are presented concurrently.

12. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the 2D model of the user interface is a 2D model tile, the 3D model of the user interface is a 3D model tile, and the 2D model tile and the 3D model tile are different sizes.

13. A method comprising:

generating a user interface comprising a 2 -dimensional (2D) model of a building and a 3 -dimensional (3D) model of the building;

receiving a first user input via the user interface, the first user input indicating a selection of a first object in the 2D model or the 3D model;

determining a physical space or equipment represented by the first object;

determining one or more events associated with the physical space or equipment;

receiving a second user input via the user interface, the second user input indicating creation of an incident based on the one or more events; and

initiating an automated response process in response to the creation of the incident.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving a third user input associated with adjusting a view of one of the 2D model or the 3D model; and

automatically updating a view of the other of the 2D model or the 3D model based on the third user input.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

upon the creation of the incident, identifying related objections within an affected space associated with the one or more events.

16. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving a third user input indicating a filter parameter for at least one of the 2D model or the 3D model; and

filtering objects displayed within the at least one of the 2D model or the 3D model based on the filter parameter.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the at least one of the 2D model or the 3D model is only one of the 2D model or the 3D model.

18. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

upon receiving the first user input indicating the selection of the first object, displaying information pertaining to the first object via the user interface.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the information comprises real-time information received from one of the physical space or equipment associated with the first object.

20. A building system comprising:

one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

generate a user interface comprising a 2 -dimensional (2D) model of a building and a 3 -dimensional (3D) model of the building;

receive a first user input indicating a selection of a first object in the 2D model or the 3D model;

determine a physical space or equipment represented by the first object;

determine one or more events associated with the physical space or equipment;

receive a second user input associated with adjusting a view of one of the 2D model or the 3D model; and

automatically update a view of the other of the 2D model or the 3D model based on the second user input.
