Abstract

Various systems and methods are provided that display schematics and data associated with the various physical components in the schematics in an interactive user interface. For example, a computing device links data stored in one or more databases with schematics displayed in one or more interactive user interfaces. The computing device parses a digital image that depicts a schematic and identifies text visible in the digital image. Based on the identified text, the computing device recognizes representations of one or more physical components in the schematic and links the representations to data regarding the physical component in one or more databases, such as specification data, historical sensor data of the component, etc. The computing device modifies the digital image such that it becomes interactive and visible in a user interface in a manner that allows the user to select a physical component and view data associated with the selection.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computing system comprising:
a computer processor; and
a computer readable storage medium storing program instructions configured for execution by the computer processor in order to cause the computing system to:
access a digital image, wherein the digital image includes a schematic layout of a first physical component and a second physical component;
parse the digital image to create a link between first data associated with the first physical component and second data associated with the second physical component, wherein the first data is different than the second data;
generate user interface data such that a user interface displays the digital image in a first window;
in response to selection of the first physical component in the user interface, update the user interface data such that the user interface concurrently displays the first window and a second window, wherein the second window includes at least a portion of the first data associated with the first physical component; and
in response to selection of the second physical component in the user interface, update the user interface data such that the user interface concurrently displays the first window, the second window, and a third window, wherein the third window is different than the first and second windows, wherein the third window includes at least a portion of the second data associated with the second physical component, and wherein a user-selected change to a visualization in the third window causes a corresponding change to a visualization in the second window,
wherein the second window is displayed near the first physical component and the third window is displayed near the second physical component, and wherein the second window and third window concurrently at least partially cover respective portions of the digital image in the user interface; and
in response to a selection of the portion of the first data associated with the first physical component corresponding to a first time, update the user interface data such that the user interface includes a marker in the third window at a location of the portion of the second data associated with the second physical component that corresponds with the first time.

2. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable storage medium further stores program instructions that cause the computing system to associate one or more data series associated with the first physical component, the one or more data series including historical data regarding input values and output values associated with the first physical component.

3. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the first data associated with the first physical component comprises sensor data measured by the first physical component.

4. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the first data associated with the first physical component comprises a graph depicting a relationship between the first physical component and other physical components illustrated in the schematic layout.

5. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the second data comprises sensor data measured by the second physical component.

6. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable storage medium further stores program instructions that cause the computing system to, in response to a command to zoom in on the second window to a first zoom level corresponding to a first data range along a y-axis, update the user interface data such that the user interface zooms in on the third window to the first zoom level so that the portion of the first data associated with the first physical component is displayed for the first data range along the y-axis and the portion of the second data associated with the second physical component is displayed for the first data range along the y-axis.

7. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes an index window that lists identities for the first physical component and the second physical component illustrated in the schematic layout, and wherein the computer readable storage medium further stores program instructions that cause the computing system to, in response to a selection of an identity of the first physical component, update the user interface data to adjust a location of the digital image in the user interface such that a representation of the first physical component in the schematic layout is centered in the user interface.

8. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes a notes window that identifies previous changes to the schematic layout, and wherein the computer readable storage medium further stores program instructions that cause the computing system to, in response to a selection of a first note listed in the notes window, update the user interface data such that the user interface identifies a third physical component illustrated in the schematic layout that is associated with the first note.

9. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable storage medium further stores program instructions that cause the computing system to, in response to the selection of the first physical component in the user interface, update the user interface data such that the user interface displays a note associated with the first physical component.

10. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable storage medium further stores program instructions that cause the computing system to:
identify one or more connectors that connect the first physical component to a third physical component;
generate a graph depicting the first physical component, the third physical component, the one or more connectors that connect the first physical component to the third physical component, and a direction of flow of a substance between the first physical component and the third physical component; and
in response to a selection of a part page button in the user interface, update the user interface data such that the user interface displays the generated graph.

11. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable storage medium further stores program instructions that cause the computing system to, in response to a request to animate a flow of data through one or more of the first physical component or the second physical component, update the user interface data such that the user interface includes an animation that indicates a sensor value as a substance passes through the first physical component at a second first time and the sensor value as the substance passes through the second physical component at a third second time after the second first time.

12. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the animation visualizes one of historical sensor data or hypothetical data.

13. The computing system of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable storage medium further stores program instructions that cause the computing system to, in response to an input providing model sensor data for the first physical component, update the user interface data such that the user interface includes a prediction of a sensor value for a third physical component that is coupled to the first physical component.

14. A computer-implemented method comprising:
accessing a digital image, wherein the digital image includes a schematic layout of a first physical component and a second physical component;
parsing the digital image to create a link between first data associated with the first physical component and second data associated with the second physical component, wherein the first data is different than the second data;
generating user interface data such t
