The server of information center can carry out grammatical analysis and extract one or more information segments or part the information that receives by calculating, and can be assembled into a piece of news.A piece of news can be united the message part of individual information source or a series of information sources.Can utilize multiple predetermined form (this will discuss hereinafter).The generation of information extraction and message can be carried out in the time of receiving information from data source, or with predetermined times (for example per 10 minutes), or in other reasonable times, for example load the software of routing.Extracting and make function can separate.For example, a software module is carried out the information that receives is carried out grammatical analysis, extracts the information that is stored in the information database, comprises the relevant information of time mark, related period or termination time and data source and so on usually.If elementary or when the available data source is unavailable (or extract failure), the available data sources tabulation that can obtain an equal information.The software module of the separation of go up carrying out at server (or at different servers) can make information storage in information database, and according to a cover source template or an agreement, the message that collects and be used to distribute with the time of appointment.
Information from commercialization data source 120 can be high special in properties, and provides (for example XML, RSS etc.) with standardized form, so the grammatical analysis of information and leaching process are easier to.In some cases, information can provide by suitable form, can directly be included in a piece of news, or directly be inserted in the information database, is used to produce message.Large-scale customer data base and message extraction and individual other user uniquely demand information compare with the data source that sends information by Email or SMS may be more cost-effective to the user.
Public network comprises many free information available data sources 122.Usually this information only provides with the form that is fit to web browser diagram demonstration, or carries out computing by computing machine.In this case, information can grasp or the program similar to the web page contents that receives being calculated ground grammatical analysis etc. extracted by screen scraping, network.Screen or network capture program belong to those and diagram pixel are shown the program (for example optical character recognition software) of changing back implicit information, or the calculated field routine analyzer of parsing HTML, XML or similar documents, with information extraction fragment or part, label in the include file or field.Computer function, art of programming difference that this method requires, and error may be bigger.
Network robot (bot) software or network information gathering/gathering technique also can be used for seeking and handling the network information.This method can be used for seeking a plurality of information sources.It supports redundant, but needs to determine reference address or the how preferential setting of data splitting.
Public information sources often just changes without notice.For example, information source position (URL) can change, and information source supplier can select stop supplies information or begin to be the information charge.Data layout also can change without notice.Correspondingly, but information center's periodic monitoring public information sources and information extraction process, to survey and to adapt to any above-mentioned variation.
For example, a website can provide a webpage, comprises the weather forecast tabulation in a series of cities.The relevant portion of this webpage can be with comprising following HTML sign indicating number:
During the form of " main cities weather forecast outline " by name when detecting, the HTML analyzer of calculating can be resolved the HTML sign indicating number.The structure of this form is the weather forecast that each grid column (label " tr ") comprises a city, wherein first list data element of row (label " td ") is the city title, second list data element is temperature forecast, and the 3rd list data element is brief weather forecast in this city or summary.Therefore, in these cases, the HTML analyzer can be resolved information and the summary in the Back ground Information, Perth for example, and 24 degree, fine; Adelaide, 19 degree, cloudy.In this embodiment, these city titles, temperature and brief weather forecast are described and are represented the message part of protecting in the webpage.But html parser also extracting should forecast the date and time of issue, and was used for determining the cut-off date of these data, for example after one day.
This observation process can carry out under the mode of supervision comprehensively, part supervision or even unmanned supervision (automatically) fully.For example, human supvr can contrast information extraction and the data source information that offers web browser.Also can compare, with the validity and the accuracy of appreciation information with other information sources.Can dispose optional mistake monitoring software, human supvr watches out for the mistake in message pick-up, grammatical analysis and the extracting software module.Tackle specific incident or task fault, or under the situation that task of execution is failed repeatedly, make alarm.The no supervision technology also can be used for the change degree.For example, tackle a kind of mistake, the Control Software program can use network bot software to search new data source automatically, or is transformed into an optional data source, for example is included in the data source in the information database.This can carry out need not to supervise under the interactional situation, or carries out during in the raw data source that inspection makes mistakes as the supvr.When reporting errors takes place, and when information source changes, the selection of condition can be carried out on the basis of operation consideration, for example Fu Wu critical point (as the user number of this information of needs), validity that can data source, main personnel's level etc.
Information also can obtain from informant 120 places of commercialization (for example, paying).These information provide with predetermined computing machine close friend's form usually, have exempted the special processing of the needed more fallibility in free information source.In addition, the server supplier can warn any service change of client (for example information center) usually in advance, therefore allows the system of information center to make necessary change, thus the generation that reply changes.
In case acquired information then must produce and contain the message of this information, and send to station address (or message transmission address), be presented on user's the display device, or the equipment in the building management system that makes plays a role.Under the situation that the gateway device that is the user at least can be understood, information center can utilize a series of messaging protocols to list concurrent carry information in.Information center can be formatted as the message part that extracts one or more message from the information that receives, be applicable to the use of user's display device with default form.Information center or the message part (for example by TCP/IP packet) of extraction can be provided to gateway device, gateway device can turn to the information format that receives one or more message, is applicable to the use of user's display device with default form.

In order further to illustrate the present invention, according to one embodiment of present invention, Fig. 8 has shown method 800 process flow diagrams of a message of the viewing area part display message that is created in display device, according to one embodiment of present invention, Fig. 9 has shown method 900 process flow diagrams of the information in the part display message of the viewing area of display device.
In Fig. 8, method 800 originates in step 810, as the information of equipment such as information server or gateway reception from one or more data sources.In step 820, equipment extracts one or more parts of the information that receives.Then, equipment step 830 with extracting to one or more parts be formatted as a message, this message comprises a title division and a data part, this title division comprises at least one message type field, data division comprises symbol at least, two fields in numeral and the description field.At last, in step 840, each address be handled and be sent a message to this equipment can by extract one or more addresses from customer data base.
In Fig. 9, method 900 originates in step 910, and wherein the display device in the building automation system receives message, and for example one sends from gateway device, or sends from an information server.In step 920, display device is according to predetermined form (for example form of Fig. 8 step 830 use) reception information, wherein this is established form and comprises a title division and a data part, title division comprises at least one message type field, data division comprises symbol at least, two fields in numeral and the description field.In case display device is the information extraction part from the message that receives, in the step 930, the information in the viewing area part video data part of display device.
Usually description field is the text field.Other protocol version can specifically be formulated a language field, comprises the suitable alphanumeric codes that a definition is used for description field.Another group protocol version can be used for determining that description field is actually the image of a bitmap.
Method in this system is described provides dirigibility, determines the different stage of equipment on the basis with the protocol version that can understand at them.If protocol version is defined, added field or information are connected to the message end so, and equipment can extract and show the agreement highest level information that comprises in the message that they can understand sends with higher protocol version then.By this way, the equipment of most of resource restrictions, for example those interpretabilities and/or display protocol level 0 message can be ignored any excessive data in the message fully, only show and the relevant minimum information of agreement 0 field.In the optional embodiment of another kind, the combination of protocol version or version can be adapted or select to equipment, is used on the basis of available usually viewing area size to handle and display message.
When message produced, the equipment that may need extra processing procedure and understand higher protocol version was because information may need to be separated and to allocate a plurality of fields.Extra field can comprise the message that description separates from several fields and how constitute extended message.For example, the initial description and the extended field of description can link simply.Describe extended field and can substitute initial description field fully.In another optional embodiment, extended field can be inserted into the central authorities of initial description field, and wherein extra field can require to instruct processor to add extra information.The professional of this technical field also can expect other changes and embodiment within the scope of the invention.
The messaging protocol that limits allows to be installed in the process software in the display device and the development of hardware, reduces the computation burden of processing procedure and display device.In one embodiment, the equipment with limited processing, storage and display capabilities can comprise the software or the hardware of processing protocol 0 message, ignores every other version.In equipment, can change according to the required viewing area total amount of display message with the free space that shows major function relevant (for example photocontrol) display message with big viewing area.Software in the equipment is carried out and can be detected the free space that shows a piece of news, selects suitable messaging protocol then, but when the more space time spent, uses the agreement of higher-version and bigger message usually.
Message type field can be a binary digit or code, corresponding to one in the cover known message type, for example weather forecast, wave forecast, the forecast of snow feelings, Stock Report, mail reminder, notice of meeting, voicemail notification, prompting, general information, basic messae etc.
For each type of message, series of sign is represented different conditions, conditioned disjunction content.Sign field stores binary digit or code, corresponding to the predetermined symbol that links with type of message.For example, if type of message is a kind of weather forecast, series of sign can comprise sunnyly, cloudy, rainy so, and sunny symbol can be used for forecasting under the situation of sunny weather.In the message shown in Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, the symbol of the cloud and the sun is represented cloudy respectively and bright day gas.
Although sign field is relevant with message type field, according to the message field value, identical value can be used for specifying series of sign.For example, symbol code 1 is corresponding to the billow in the sunny and wave forecast in the weather forecast.This method has reduced the required field size of sign field.For example, if the message format among use Fig. 2 A, the 4 bit message fields and the 4 bit symbol fields of each type of message can have 16 kinds of symbols, suppose that all types can show 256 symbols.
In another embodiment, symbol code can be independent of type of message.For example, symbol code 1-3 can represent sunny, rainy and cloudy, and symbol 4-6 can represent billow, moderate seas and not have wave (horizontal line).In this case, a large amount of if desired symbols then needs more bits to come the conventional letter field, can reuse under the relevant situation of type of message through symbol.
Can determine standard set denotational description and relevant sign field value and/or value of message types, and be stored in display device, therefore allow a sign field in the message to be converted to displaying symbol.Information center or gateway device once can specifically be formulated a kind of spendable standardization simply and describe, and according to the equipment corresponding to standard symbol, display device can be pre-installed symbol suitable or customization.
Numeric field can be used for the correlated digital of contained information in the coded message.Show 402,404,412,414 temperature corresponding digital among the embodiment in the message shown in Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 D, and display digit shown in Figure 5 is corresponding to the new information number of receiving in the nomination record.
Description field can be used for storing one of demonstration and lacks illustration and text juxtaposed setting originally.For example in the weather forecast 412,414 shown in Fig. 4 C and Fig. 4 D, word " Cloudy is cloudy " and " Sunny is sunny " are the basic summaries (comprising temperature) to weather forecast.Description field also can be strengthened symbol, or additional content is provided.Therefore sunny symbol can be used to represent sunny weather, and text can state that " development and change " are sunny weather.Fig. 5 represents the embodiment of new mail notice 500 message, comprises a new mail symbol 502, new mail number 504 and mail account name " username@mail.com.au " 506.Therefore, description field 506 provides the mail account content of the new mail that receives.
Same, if the equipment in the building automation system has audio performance, message can present by the mode of sound or audiovisual so.But the message format of foregoing description can be revised to comprising an equipment played sound signal, and perhaps this equipment can comprise default message and/or phonetic synthesis.For example, this equipment can load that different weather is described and numeral, thereby this equipment can produce the sound description (for example " forecast fine, 24 spend ") of a piece of news.In some cases, equipment can be made a response execution control function to the message that receives.For example, if the temperature of forecast is higher than temperature when critical, air-conditioning then can be opened.Same, if when receiving the TV programme of liking, hdd recorder then can recording television programs.
The user can specify them to wish the type of message that receives.The server 122 that message produces the center produces message according to above-mentioned multiple messaging protocol.The selection of agreement can be carried out according to the understanding to equipment, and particularly the protocol version of equipment is known.In addition, also can use the protocol version (for example version 0) of an acquiescence, or send a plurality of versions of identical information.The predetermined address 140 that sends to user's appointment to one or more message of a user in the time of appointment by gateway device 150 receptions.These information can send by network 130, or produce the special-purpose or reliable contact of center to gateway by one from message.These message are compressible in traditional IP packet, or some other mutual agreement tables.The message form that this form can transmit in the building automation system, although this is optional, the gateway of supposing can be carried out conversion or the form modifying between the different communications protocol.Same, this information center can provide information to gateway device, and this equipment can format this information, or in building automation system this information of reformatting on the basis of functions of the equipments.
