Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of controlling data display device. The method includes: loading a monitoring view to initialize it; determining whether to display a tabular view; setting a tabular module if it is determined that the tabular view is to be displayed; displaying the tabular view according to set conditions; and checking whether to perform a view update mode during the displaying the tabular view.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tabular view generating apparatus comprising:
a database configured to store data received from a data acquisition and management system, wherein the data acquisition and management system comprises an energy management system or a remote control system;
a user input configured to receive a tabular view control signal on the data received and stored from the data acquisition and management system;
a tabular view generator configured to generate a tabular view with the data stored in the database according to items that are received via the user input;
a display configured to display the tabular view created by the tabular view generator under the control of a controller; and
the controller having a graphic editor and configured to engineer the data received from the database,
wherein the tabular view generating apparatus is configured to:
engineer, by a controller, data necessary for displaying a view,
load, by the controller, a monitoring view to initialize the monitoring view;
determine, by the controller, whether to display the monitoring view as a non-tabular view or a tabular view;
set, by the tabular view generator, a tabular module if it is determined that the tabular view is to be displayed;
display the tabular view in the display according to a tabular module setting; and
check, by the controller, whether to perform a view update mode during the displaying the tabular view in the display,

wherein the checking comprises checking if there is a change in a number of tabular object data items in a tabular database,
wherein the controller is configured to:
enter the view update mode if it is determined that there is a change in the number of tabular object data items in the tabular database;
control the view update mode according to the change in the number of tabular object data items; and
change the display of the tabular view according to the change in the number of tabular object data items in the tabular database,

wherein the change of the display of the tabular view is carried out automatically,
wherein the controller is further configured to:
check validity by comparing an existing database map with the tabular database at the time of the checking in response to a determination that there is no change in the number of the tabular object data items, wherein the existing database map comprises data displayed on a current tabular view; and
in response to a determination that it is not valid, enter the view update mode and load the monitoring view to initialize the monitoring view,

wherein the checking the validity comprises determining, by the controller, whether properties or associations of the tabular object data items are matched, and the properties of the object data items contain information on a form and a size of data objects.

2. The tabular view generating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein if the controller determines that there is a change in the number of the tabular object data items, the controller enters the view update mode via a multi-thread task, and loads the monitoring view to initialize the monitoring view.

3. The tabular view generating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein if the controller determines that the data items are matched, the controller checks again if there is a change in the number of tabular object data.

4. The tabular view generating apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the checking whether to perform the view update mode further comprises checking whether to perform the view update mode periodically at a predetermined interval.
