An operation and observation system of a technical plant and/or a technical process and associated method are provided for operating components and for displaying measurement readings, process variables and/or status messages of the components of the plant and/or process. The system includes at least one large screen for displaying the components of the technical process and/or technical plant, and a plurality of operator workstations. A movement detection and movement control component is installed on the screen and on the operator workstations, which allows an operation and/or polling of the components, the measurement readings, the process variables and/or the status messages of the components of the technical plant or of the technical process by means of a body movement of an operator.

A computer-implemented method and system for authoring animated human movement examples with scored movement segments. The computer-implemented method includes pre-processing with pre-segmented movement wherein start and end frames of a movement segment have been defined automatically to create a Standard Movement Library. The computer-implemented method also includes post-processing with pre-segmented routine wherein start and end frames of each individual movement has been defined to produce a virtual exercise class. Further, the computer-implemented method includes segmenting a routine into individual movements to create a timeline of movements that produces a score for the players, wherein the routine is recorded by the instructor. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method includes concatenating a plurality of routines in any order to create a full exercise class and creating score-able virtual exercise classes in the pre-processing and post-processing phases. Moreover, the computer-implemented method includes verifying the virtual exercise with an instructor; and finalizing the virtual exercise.

In a mobile device with a processing unit, main memory, display memory and display, a context module identifies a user-context, a determiner module determines correspondence or non-correspondence of data images in the main memory to the user-context, a first selector module selects corresponding data images for access by the display memory in case of correspondence, a second selector module select data items in case of non-correspondence, a transformation module transforms selected data items to corresponding data images and stores them in the main memory, and an access module lets the display memory access the selected data images.

Mobile device with context specific transformation of data items to data images

A mobile device has a location sensor and a data sensor for collecting data that relates to technical equipment. An area component determines that the mobile device is located in an event area with the potential of occurrence of events in categories. A detection component processes data from the data sensor that is indicative of events. The detection component is active if the mobile device is located in the event area. A recorder component records data from the data sensor in combination with the geographic location of the mobile device. The recorder component is active if a particular event that falls into at least one of the categories has been detected.

Recording and processing safety relevant observations for facilities

An exemplary logging system and a method are for detecting, conditioning and presenting installation-specific and/or process-specific operator control actions, process reports, alarm reports, system events, installation parameters and digital text messages for a technical installation or a technical process. The logging system having at least one input apparatus that automatically converts audible and/or spoken information and information that is present in written form into digital text messages and provides the information, together with information relating to operator control actions, information relating to navigation steps performed and further text information that is present in digitized form, for a processing unit, that can automatically attribute timestamps.

System and method for event logging in a technical installation or a technical process

A method for visualizing on a display unit of an operator terminal a transmission flow in a system. The method includes: retrieving a starting point and an end point of the transmission flow; generating a picture wherein a geometrical line from the starting point to the end point graphically represents the transmission flow and wherein a direction of the transmission flow is graphically represented by a continuously increased opacity of the geometrical line between the starting point and the end point of the transmission flow; and outputting the picture on the display unit.

Method for visualization of transmission flow in a system, an operator terminal and a supervisory control system

A method in a power transmission or distribution system, an operator terminal in such a system as well as to a computer program product from such an operator terminal, wherein the operator terminal presents graphical objects representing electrical power transmission control stations together with graphical objects representing power lines on a display, and changes the degree of abstraction of the presentation based on an operator selection or an own selection. A change from a lower to a higher degree involves moving a group of graphical objects including control stations closer to a condensation center point on a power line that is common for this group, and a change from a higher to a lower condensation degree involves moving the group away from the condensation center point.
