Description

Title
Displaying Representations of a Building
Technical Field
5 The invention concerns representations of a building. In particular, but not limited to, the invention concerns the organisation and presentation of architectural and other .drawings of a building that describe the construction specifications for the building. Aspects of the invention include methods, software and computer systems.
10 Background Art
At a construction site a leader, commonly known as a foreman, is responsible for the management of the construction workers. This involves being responsible for the accuracy, timeliness and quality of the construction work.
J 5 A building that is part of a construction project, big or small, is associated with a large number of drawings that describe in detail the exact specifications for the building.
It is common to see a foreman at a construction site carrying and examining large print outs of a large number of drawings to assess the construction work and plan for future 20 works. This can be cumbersome and confusing, especially when the number of drawings increases, and inefficient when the foreman realises that they have not brought a particular drawing as they did not anticipate that they would need it.
From an engineer or architect perspective, managing and co-ordinating the large 25 number of documents and their revisions can also be cumbersome and confusing. To address this online document management systems have been introduced that provide a centralised point where all the relevant drawings are stored and accessed by the relevant parties.
30 Sammary of the Invention
In a first aspect the invention provides a method for displaying representations of a building, the method comprising the steps of: determining the position of a mobile handheld device; sending a request to receive representations of the building located or to be built 35 at the position of the mobile handheld device; receiving the representations of the building, the representations having associated electronic position information describing a plurality of positions within a representation; and selectively displaying at least one of the representations on a display means of the mobile handheld device, and based on the position information associated with the representations and the position of the mobile handheld device, simultaneously displaying an indication of the position of the mobile device in the representation.
The representations of the building may comprise drawings that show the construction and design specifications of the building. Each representation may be of one of the following types: architectural drawing, electrical drawing, mechanical drawing and hydraulic drawing,
The representations may include for each type of drawing, a representation for each floor of the building.
The method may further comprise receiving a user selection of a different representation of the building, and displaying the selected representation. The user selection may be received by detecting movement of the mobile handheld device using an accelerometer of the mobile handheld device,
The selected representation may be a representation of a different floor of the building; or a default representation of the building. Further, the selected representation may be of the same type of drawing as the currently displayed representation.
The method may comprise requesting and receiving the selected representation if not previously received.
The method may further comprising receiving a user selection of displaying more or less detail of the displayed representation, In this case, the user selection may be received by detecting "pinching" of the display means of the mobile handheld device, that is moving fingertips together, or spreading them apart, on the display means.
Each representation may comprise multiple sub-areas, In this case, the step of displaying the selected representations may comprise displaying only the sub-areas closest to the position of the mobile handheld device. Sending a request to receive representations of the building may be for a particular type of drawings and/or particular floors,
The step of displaying an indication of the position of the mobiie handheld device may comprise identifying from the position information associated with representation a position in the representation that is substantially the same as the position of the mobile handheld device,
The method may further comprise receiving a photo graphic image and associating with the image the position information of the mobile handheld device and including an indication on the currently display representation that a photo graphic image of that position is available.
The method may further comprise receiving a message from the user and associating the position information of the mobile handheld device with the message. The message may be a request for information message, a non-conformance report or a defect marking report.
The method may further comprise displaying on the display means of the mobiie handheld device a to do list. In this case, the message and to do list may be synchronised with a third party data server;
The method may further comprise the step of determining an updated position of the mobile handheld device, and updating the display accordingly.
The step of determining the position of the mobile handheld device may be based on information received from one or more of: a satellite positioning system (such as GPS) satellites, cellular base station and wireless local area network base station. For example, the mobile handheld device may comprise a global positioning receiver that receives multiple signals from GPS satellites.
In yet a further aspect the invention provides a method of providing representations of a building for display on a mobile handheld device, the method comprising the step of: receiving representations of buildings, each representation having associated electronic position information; for each representation, based on the associated position information of the representation, determining further position information to describe a plurality of further positions within the representation; receiving from a mobile handheld device a request to view representations of a building and an indication of the position of the mobile handheld device; and selectively sending to the handheld mobile device representations of the building at the position of the mobile handheld device,
In yet another aspect the invention provides a method for providing representations of building, the method comprising the steps of: associating with a representation of a building electronic position information; and sending the representation and the associated electronic position information to a ςentral storage facility that can be accessed by a handheld mobile device.
In another aspect the invention comprises a computer program and a computer system to implement any one of the methods described above.
Brief Description of the Drawings An example of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the computer system of the example;
Fig. 2 is a flow diagram of the method of the example; and
Figs. 3 to Fig. 12 are sample displays on the screen of the mobile handheld device of the example.
Best Modes of the Invention
A system and method of one example of the invention uses software that will be described here is referred to here as "Foreman's Mate" (FM), For simplicity, this example relates to one construction project having one foreman. However, it should be understood that the invention can of course be used in relation to multiple construction projects simultaneously and there may be more than one foreman per construction project. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a computer network 20 of this example. The computer network 20 is comprised of multiple mobile handheld devices 22, client devices 28 and a server system 24.
The mobile handheld device 22 is a device that is able to communicate with a the server system 24 via a network 26. In this example, the handheld device 22 is an jPhone™. The position of the iPhone can be determined using information received from one or more of: global positioning system (GPS) satellites, cellular base station and wireless local area network base station. For example, the i Phone includes a positioning receiver, such as a global positioning receiver (GPS), that is able to receive signals from multiple GPS satellites (not shown) from which the processor of the iPhone can determine the current position of the iPhone.
The iPhone also includes a touch screen that operates as both the display means and input means of the iPhone. The iPhone also includes an accelerometer that is able to provide data to the processor of the iPhone to determine the orientation of the iPhone. The iPhone includes a input/output port through which the user is able to send requests- to, receive information from and send information to the server system 24, Importantly, the iPhone has stored in memory application software, named here FM also, that enables the user the user to interact with the server system 24 in the manner described below.
The server system 24 is comprised of a server 30 and a storage system 32 which in this example is a database management system (DBMS), The server 30 provides access to the information stored on the storage system 32 by the iPhone 22 and computer 28 using the network 20, The server system 24 provides information to the iPhone 24 via a suitable protocol, and provides information to the computer 28 through a website interface, wherein the website is hosted by the server 30,
The personal computer 28, similarly to the mobile device 22, has a processor, input means (i.e. keyboard and mouse), display means (i.e. a monitor) and an input/output port using which the computer 28 is able to communicate with the server system 24, In this example, the computer 28 has web browser software installed, such as Internet Explorer , using which the user is able to receive and upload information to the server system 24. Using the same browser the user is able to access the website of the server system 40 (discussed below). The computer 28 also has installed architectural software packages such as AutoCAD, Graphisoft, Microstation or any other CAD package, Further, the architectural software packages includes an FM "add-on" that enables position information to be incorporated into the drawings as will be described below.
The method of using the computer system 20 will now be described with reference to the flow chart of Fig. 2. There are two main steps 100 and 102 required in order to achieve displaying of representations on the mobile device 22.
Firstly, the various construction drawings for the construction project must be prepared and uploaded 100 for use by FM. Secondly, the construction drawings are selectively made available 102 on the iPhone 22, Each of these will now be discussed in turn.
The construction project of this example has three floors. For each floor, the following types of categories are provided: architectural electrical mechanical hydraulic
These drawings are electronically prepared and stored on the computer 28. In this example the interrelationship between all the drawings is known, that is, their vertical alignment. Each grid line has a letter on one axis and a number along making each crossing of two perpendicular gridϋnes uniquely identifiable in the drawings. Each unique crossing identifies the same 2-dimensional position in each of the drawings,
Using the computer 28, the user interacts with the interface the FM "add-on" to the architectural software package to enter into the interface of the FM add-on position information 106. This position information is then stored together with the drawings.
The type of position information 106 that the user enters will depend on the construction drawings.
In one example all the drawings' share grid lines that are vertically aligned in all the drawings. If the gridlines and their axis labels are not automatically identifiable by the Wizard of the add-on FM software, the user is asked to identify the grid lines and enter the axis labels, Then the user is asked to enter position information for at least two crossings on a drawings. The information may be entered as global positioning coordinates. This gridline and position information is then stored together with the drawing.
Alternatively, any (i.e. basic) position information can be entered by the user using which the position information for all' areas of the drawings can be determined. Other types of information that can be used to determine this position information includes identifying the position of the magnetic north. The scale of the drawings can also be entered. Since this information is already included in the drawings it can be automatically identified by the Wizard and used in the calculation of the further positions in the drawings by the server system 24 as described below.
In this example, since the gridlines uniquely define the same position in each drawing, the position information determined for one drawings can automatically be applied to the remaining drawings using the gridlines as the reference. ' Alternatively, entering position information can be repeated for further drawings.
The Wizard will also prompt the user to enter a label for each drawing. This may be a combination of a brief text descriptor and a selection from a number of pick lists. The first pick list may be drawing category type, and the second pick list may be floor number. This information is also stored associated with each file and may be incorporated for display in the drawing itself. Of course, where possible the Wizard will automatically extract this information,
Next the drawings must be uploaded 108 to the server system 24, This is performed by the user of computer 28 that now has each of the graphical drawings stored, together . with the electronic position information, the category type, floor number, brief descriptor, a unique drawing number, date of the last revision and the revision identifier.
The user accesses the website hosted by the server 30 using their computer 28. Firstly the user verifies themselves using a password and user name as commonly understood. Then the user selects on the interface from the website the construction project the drawings relates to and uploads 108 the prepared drawings to the server system 24. In this example, the information associated with the drawing is used automatically to correctly categorise (i.e. identify which type and floor it is) and store the drawing . accordingly in the database 32. In this way the drawings can be uploaded in bulk. Alternatively, the user may be required to enter in this information when uploading the drawings.
5 These drawings are received by the server 30 and stored in the database 32.
In this example, the server 30 operates to automatically determine the rest of the position information for each sub-area of the drawing using the one or more types of electronic position information that is stored associated with the drawing. This further 0 positional information for each sub-area of the drawing is also stored in the database 32 associated with the drawing. A sub-area of the drawing may be defined by the closed area of a grid in the drawing. Alternatively, the additional positional information could have been determined by the add on Wizard, stored with the drawing and included as part of the upload,
15
The user of computer 28 is then presented on the web interface a summary of the drawings available for this project as shown in Fig. 3, More detail about any category can be viewed by, in case of architectural drawings, clicking on the icon 60. The interface is then changed to present Fig. 4. The site plan 62 is the key plan across the 0 entire project. This plan has no dimensions and is somewhat designed to be the "key" plan for FM, Each category of drawings also has a key plan, which in this case is the second floor 64 which is marked by a different shading. The third floor plan 66 is πiaτked by a different font colour to denote a plan that has been uploaded but has not yet have position information linked to it.
25
The use of these drawings on the iPhone 22 will now be described. As shown in Fig. 5 the software is available for selection 68 o.n the display of the iPhone.
Once the software is selected the current position of the iPhone is determined 1 10 and 30 provided as input to the software. The software causes the iPhone to send to the server system 24 login verifications of the user of the iPhone 22 and the current position of the iPhone.
By interrogating the database 32, the server 30 is able to determine whether the iPhone 35 22 is positioned within or near a construction project that the user of the iPhone 22 is authorised to view, Tn this example the iPhone 22 is located within the area of a construction project, This causes the server 30 to extract 1 12 from the database 32 the image of the site plan for the construction project and send it to the iPhone 22; see Fig. 2. 5
The software on the iPhone 22 operates to cause the display means 1 12 of the iPhone 22 to display the sub-areas of the site plan surrounding the iPhone's 22 current location, The current location is in this example as a dot 80. In this example, to prevent delay in the display of further drawings requested by the user, further drawings are also 10 automatically downloaded to the iPhone 22. This may comprise all the drawings, the drawings most commonly viewed by the user of the iPhone 22, or drawings preselected by the user, where this pre-seiection settings are stored in the datastore 32,
The user can request to see less or more detail about the immediate area by entering a I S request into the interface to zoom in or out, such as double pressing the dot 80 or "pinching" on the space. The display is now amended to appear as shown in Fig. 7. This can be repeated to be presented with even more detailed information,
The scale of the drawing presented is displayed in the bottom of the display (not 20 shown).
If the user of the iPhone 22 wishes to see the floor above for the same type of drawing, the user "flicks" the iPhone up. Upon detecting movement of the iPhone using an onboard accelerometer, the FM software checks the local memory of the iPhone 22 to 25 determine whether this drawing is stored locally. If not, a request is sent to the server system 24 for the drawing and receives the drawing in return, This drawing is displayed 1 12 at the same scale as the scale of the previously displayed drawing.
Correspondingly, if the user wishes to see the floor below, he "flicks" the iPhone 22 30 down. Similarly, upon detecting movement of the iPhone using the accelerometer, the FM software retrieves the necessary drawing of the floor above,
If the user wishes to go back to the default view, he jiggles the iPhone. In this case the default view is a particular scale of the site plan, 35 ϊf the user touches any part of the drawing, icons slide into view from the top or the
■ side; see Fig. 7. These icons allow the user to choose another category of drawing (eg. electrical, mechanical or some other), If this is chosen, the iPhone displays the same location and the same floor in the new drawing category, The user may choose to have the drawings overlaid if appropriate.
A further possible menu 90 is displayed on the iPhone 22 when the user presses the display with one finger as shown in Fig. 8.
By selecting the Request For Information (RFI) icon 92, the user is then presented with the display of Fig, 9 which asks whether the user would like to circle the area that he is questioning. In this example the user selects "mark the RFI spot" 94 and is able to select an area. They may zoom in or out to have the area appear on the display. The area cars be selected by drawing a circle 96 on the display as shown in Fig, 10. ' Alternatively, the user may resize a cloud 97. If the user makes a mistake, the user can shake the device to erase the selection. Once correct the user selects yes 98.
The user is able to draft a message in the form of a request to. be associated with this RFI as shown in Fig. 1 1 , setting out the recipients, a reference number, date, subject and expected response time. The RFI is sent to and stored on the DBMS 32. The IPhone 22 is able to send a status request for an RFI and is presented with the display of Fig. 12 that indicates that an answer has not been received.
The user is also able to use the iPhone 22 to take one or more photos of the area. These photos would be processed by the FM software to associate with the photo in memory a GPS stamp, such as imbedded into the graphic, and attach the photo to the RFI submission as shown in Fig. 1 1.
Once the RFI is received by the server system 24, the server system operates to send the RFI to the relevant recipients in a pre-formatted email, and to await their'respoπse. Time stamps for each event are stored in memory, such as when the RFI was sent, and when the response was returned.
Referring to Fig. 8 again, the user can also select to initiate a non-conformance report 100 to report deviation from a drawing or specification, or a defect marking report 102 to report a defect, Similar to generating a RFI, the user is able to select an area on the display using a "mark the report spot" button or a "cloud" tool (not shown), The user is then able to draft a message in the form of a report that sets out the recipients, a reference number, date, subject and expected response time. The FM software associates positioning information of the iPhone 22 with the report, along with any graphic or photo attached by the user.
As shown in Fig, 8, the To Do List 104 is a "smart" version of the standard To Do List. The notepad of the To Do List that is displayed to the user is intuitive and simple, Similar to a paper notepad, the user is able to scroll back through pages. It will have the same look and feel to a paper notepad to do this, Flicking it up will give display to the user a new page. Flicking it down will go to the last page.
Each page will be date stamped so the user can search for last week, or last month, etc. The date stamp will be displayed.
If the user makes a scribble mark across the page as though they are wiping out the page, the FM software will prompt the user to determine whether the page should be deleted. If the user shakes the iPhone, the last action will be undone.
The user can sketch on this notepad with a stylus. Next to the lines are small checkboxes to indicate if a task has been done or not. Once this box is checked, the task will have a line through it but remain visible.
This notepad will synchronise directly into the foreman's diary that is the main diary used on the iPhone, When something is marked as an action, it will go to a special list of actions. When it is marked as complete, it will record in the foreman's diary that this particular action was completed* on this particular day. The notepad can be synchronised with the third party server system 40, and any RFI, non-conformance report or defect marking report can be automatically added to the notepad.
Referring again back to Fig. 8, the photo button 106 will now be described that interacts with the email and camera functionalities already present in the iPhone. When user presses photo button 106 from within the FM software, the screen will become the viewfinder and a button will appear to allow the user to take a photo, This button will be larger than the normal iPhone shutter button. The user will be asked if he wants to keep or discard the photo, or get out of camera mode. This photo, once the user confirms that he wants to keep it, will be date and location stamped,
The user will be asked if he would like to email the photo with any comments to anyone. A drop down list of site personnel will be offered to him, plus a blank email address line for any other email addresses.
This photo will be kept on the database 32 associated with the relevant project, Users wishing to retrieve photos will do so on the FM website, such as using computer 28. The user will be able to retrieve them by date or location, or both, The photos could be displayed as icons on the drawings, since the icons can be aligned based on the associated position information of each file. On that layout, the user will be presented with a graphical timeline, where he can move the "time starts" and "time ends" sliders
' so as to see the photos specific to his desired time range. "
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the invention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention as broadly described.
The handheld mobile device 22 may. be any device that is able to perform the same functions of a iPhone, Examples include many commonly available smart phones and personal digital assistants (PDA).
A further server system 40 may also be provided as shown in Fig, 1 for the online document management and web collaboration system responsible for managing information related to the construction project, Again, this server system 40 is comprised of a server 42 and a storage system 44. The server 42 hosts a website through which the documents managed by the systems and can be uploaded by users, such as the user of computer. In this example, the server system 24 and server system 40 are described as two separate systems however in alternate embodiments the server systems 24 and 40 could be the single server system.
In this case, all the construction drawings are managed by the server system 40, The drawings may be stored in the DBMS of the storage system 44 in the form 3D Building Information Model. The most current version of the drawings for the construction project is stored on the storage system 44. A RFI, non-conformance report and defect marking report may interact directly with the server system such that they are automatically forwarded by the server system 24 to the server system 40 and stored in the same manner as in the online management system of the server system 40.
The network may encompass several sub networks and may include wireless and/or landline (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), virtual private networks (VPNs), or the internet.
It is not necessary for architectural software packages such as AutoCAD to be installed on the personal computer 28. Instead, a user can access the packages, with FM "addon", via the Internet using a cloud computing architecture.
Further categories of drawings can be provided. Further, drawings that better show the interrelationship between the floors can also be provided.
The drawings may be 2D Computer Aided Drafting drawings or 3D Building Information Models (BIM).
Differentia] GPS information can be provided to the mobile device 22 via a correction from the FM website. This improves the accuracy of the GPS position to be within 3 meters.
The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
