Any other party retains all copyright rights. 0 [Prior Art] Status The cognitive system is the perception of the elements in an environment, the understanding of the meaning and relative importance of these elements, and the inference of the state of these elements in the near future. In other words, situational awareness involves a state of knowledge or a mental model that occurs in one of the circumstances surrounding a person, in which the person is presented with a continuous decision scenario for the environment. Situational awareness is important for effective decision making and execution in any complex and dynamic environment. In particular, after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the country’s “first responders” were protected by the infrastructure needed to provide the necessary information to respond adequately to accidents, skyfires, terrorist attacks and other emergencies. And emergency personnel have become critical. At present, a problem exists in the important information about construction, facilities and internal public utilities in a tight event in 200832279. This information must be readily available and accessible on the ground when it is time to count. However, such key information is not stored on paper locked in the storage room, or stored in a computer-aided design (CAD) drawing that is equally difficult to find quickly. In the event that the file or electronic data is in a location where the network system or storage facility has been interrupted, it is particularly difficult to quickly find such a poor communication system. In addition, paper drawings and individual CAD files may lack critical information on how a building or facility relates to other buildings, facilities, and utilities in the immediate surrounding area. Therefore, during an emergency, not only the information on the local site but also the impact of the emergency at the local site on the overall wide-area infrastructure is lost. The 2-1 terrorist attacks in New York and Virginia, the massive blackout across the Tohoku during the 2nd and 3rd years, and the devastating hurricane Katrina in 2005 all painfully illustrate the vulnerability to critical information. How can it delay the disaster relief work? Ya can not prevent a series of mistakes. Quickly understand the conditions and vulnerabilities of the site, as well as the ability to exist in the region, regional and national vulnerabilities during the crisis period, and the ability to act immediately in response to a best response, by speeding up recovery time and Minimize property damage to save lives and minimize costs. Therefore, there is a need for a system that provides first responders and other emergency personnel into the building structure, in-depth discussions, and capabilities that can be used to respond to emergencies and other similar conditions and other This critical information for condition assessment and response planning in similar situations is required. 7 200832279 [Summary content]

In short, the structural information associated with the structure can be obtained from any suitable number and from various sources, and all such information can be collected and collected, and then stored or otherwise maintained in the database module. 5 inside. Therefore, the database module 丨05 can include a bee-J L ping-like 3-D virtual model related database and a suitable basic component database. The system includes an -state awareness module 110. The conditional cognitive module m is configured to collect, E-set, or otherwise receive status awareness information associated with the structure. As used in this article, "Status Cognition 33 200832279

Information may contain any suitable type of information that can be used to perceive (consciously) elements within an environment to understand the meaning and relevance of such elements and to infer such elements in the near future. status. For example, the conditional awareness information can include sensor data received from sensors located within, above, and adjacent to the structure. Such sensors may include, but are not limited to, smoke sensors, infrared or fire sensors, audio sensors, video sensors, video surveillance cameras and/or closed circuit televisions, motion sensors, gas sensing , biotelemetry, performance data from HVAC and mechanical systems, or any other type of communication that can be provided by instruments located in, near, and/or within the structure. Status awareness information may also contain information related to an emergency or other critical condition occurring within or near the structure, such as fire, explosion, flood, flood, suffocation, smuggling, or trespassing Waiting for a warning or S-notification' or tactical information on the nature and extent of an emergency or other critical situation. The situational awareness information can be entered into a boat ☆ people 匕S associated with the environmental resources of the structure: According to an exemplary embodiment, the status recognition module may be not only external or: and. Instruments in, above and adjacent to the structure can also be interfaced to two: the source of the external source. The source is such as news, weather, or any immediacy of his appropriate type.

Data (such as historical sensor data). To facilitate the collection or collection of conditional awareness information, the system i can include a communication module 1 i 5 in communication with the status recognition module 11 . Groups 11 5 are configured to transmit and receive conditional awareness information associated with the structure (eg, sensor data from the building, tactical or operational information from field personnel, etc.), and appropriate external or Other external sources. The communication module 1 15 may include any suitable type of transceiver, communication element, device, circuit or system that can communicate using any suitable type of transmission protocol or standard, either wirelessly or through a wired connection or any combination thereof. The communication module 115 can provide the system 110 with the ability to share the situational awareness with other systems, such as, for example, crisis commands or accidents, integrated incident management (4), to take into account Coordination and response rules between the system and various personnel (eg, from different emergency response agencies). To facilitate such collaboration, the situational awareness module 11 can be grouped to recognize the situation. The information is converted into a system by: to: the normalized or responsive format used, and converted to a format that can be recognized by the external system before transmission. For example, the state 彡) Go to Bellows - the identification of the system that supplies the information (eg _ one-digit name, one unique ^ ρ ^ address 4 4 ). It is possible to maintain an appropriate look-up table from the situation, and to maintain the appropriate look-up table, which can be mapped to the type of information format supported by the system.

The format used by the other system, if necessary, is: and then the appropriate conversion operation is performed on the material, thereby making the information into the format used by the system 100. Prior to transmission, the status aware module U0 may first check the identification data of the system to which the information is to be sent, and retrieve the formatting or conversion information for the system. This qualification can be calculus (such as transcoding of video data from _ format to another) or format specificity (for example, all numbers must have two decimal positions), and this can be converted or formatted. The information is included in or referenced by the lookup table to allow the conditional cognitive module 'group 11G to perform the necessary transformations or transformations. The conditional awareness module 110 can then convert, transcode, translate, format, or reformat the data as needed to accommodate the n system (10) or the external system. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other mechanisms can be used to perform this data conversion or formatting. According to an alternative exemplary embodiment, the generic module, 'and 11 5, can represent the conditional awareness module η 执行 to perform such a lookup and conversion to recognize the module 11 and the system from the situation The rest removes this data format variability. * The system 1 (10) includes a 3D display module that communicates with the database module 105, the status recognition module U0, and the communication module 115. The 3-D display module 12 is configured to use the structural information stored in the database module 1〇5 associated with the structure to display a 3-D virtual model of the structure. Or digital performance. The 3-D analytics module 12 can use any suitable system or method to create, generate, or otherwise otherwise visualize the structure of the structure, such as 'an individual 杈1 that can use the structure. A poisonous material or object (such as a wall, window, house:! or roof, room or other compartment, furniture, etc.) to hunt to create each of these individual plans: a model.

support. In addition, the #3-D virtual wall component model can also be a virtual component model of the line in the wall. The system is, for example, the system: power system, mechanical system, environmental system, emergency; And similar structures can be obtained from the structural information to establish a corresponding 3-D virtual component model. </ RTI> Continuing with the description, the structural information from the window associated with the structure is established = the 3D virtual component model of the window, which uses the appropriate μ display (4) algorithm to construct the iL 3.D virtual window component model. For this structure: a feature or asset to create these individual 3-D virtual component models. The individual 3D virtual component models are then assembled by the 3-D emulation module 12 to create a complete 3-D virtual model of the structure, and any and all 3D maps of the exterior and interior of the structure. Once the 3D virtual component model for each feature or asset of the structure has been generated, the 3-D virtual component model is modeled by the 3_d, and 120 different 4 different virtual component models are generated to generate a geographic position of the structure, Two-dimensional digital representation, also known as the 3-D virtual structure model. The 3-D virtual component model and the Hong virtual model include the simple, 'spring frame model' to more complex and detailed photo-realistic representations (eg, drawing material 37 200832279 • textures, etc.) Any suitable 3D representation of the component and/or structure, for example, depends on the needs of the user, the intended use of the system, and other similar factors. The 3D virtual component model and the 3D virtual pole model generated by the 3-D display module 12A may include, for example, a plurality of software/computer generated panels. In other words, the systems and methods described herein do not necessarily use any single software application or software application suite in the development of such virtual components and structural models. Thus, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may use an integrated virtual model based on a number of different basic models integrated by the 3-D analysis module 120. In other words, the 3-D virtual component model and the 3-D virtual structural model can be generated using a suitable 3_d solution that can describe a real-world geometry containing a third dimension as a stereo model. These solutions are capable of performing Boolean 1 to 4 and other algorithms that allow for the creation of complex solid objects. In general, the 34 software solution can use the insertion point as the basis for the associated positioning process. A digital file that provides the geometric properties of the object and typical location objects associated with each other. In the absence of any CAD or manually generated files, a photo model manufacturing solution that allows for the creation of an M3_D geometry from a photo can also be used to generate the 3D virtual component models and 3_d virtual communities. Photographic model making can be, for example, based on perspective science. If the field of view is known and the dimension in the photo is correct, then all geometric dimensions can be correlated to the dimension, so that the whole environment can be inferred. In the case of a camera, the focus setting determines the field of view. The focal length of a &quot; mm 38 200832279 can be considered ideal, the most similar situation of the eye 1: This is - standard type lens and people can also use the photo model to create a solution to capture the real world objects Fresh solutions are based on images of He Ke and surface.

The case is based on the yoke plus the true world illumination characteristics, as defined by the Lighting Engineering Society, and the fixed dreams of the 忒荨3 _D virtual component model and the 3 _D virtual structure model. The procedure for calculating the inter-divided light distribution in a 3 Β environment can be better than 夂 & &&amp; For example, a technique called ray tracing traces the light emitted from the source and tracks it until it bounces back to another solid that is moved at some point: then the material properties of the object can be used For example, absorbability/reflectivity, to further trace the ray until it bounces back to another solid other solid object. This method can be "demand driven" in that the ray ray is calculated after a picture has been established, and thus the angle defined by the eve of the 3_d environment is known and allowed for ray tracing. . Another technique is called Radi〇sity, which is a “poor calculation” method for ray calculations. The thermal radiation imaging method is based on the preset strength and material specifications of each object within the environment to be modeled. This information can be used to account for the effects of the light source on each object, as well as the effects of light and color such as the proximity of the two objects. Another technology that can be used is overall illumination. This technique takes into account not only the light directly from the source, 39 200832279 the reflection of any of the 3-D virtual component models or any of the three imaginary surfaces leaving the light. Door Any: Two or another option, laser/ray scanning can be used.

Various types of metadata can also be used in establishing or presenting these 3D virtual component models and virtual structure models. For example, a suitable metadata editor can be used to add, edit, and manage non-geometric or tabular data associated with 2-D or W geometry statements of 3_d objects. You can use this - edit n between the -3D virtual component model or the 3_d virtual structure model for other types of applications, including the database, cost estimation, project management, scheduling software, and so on. The 3-D analytic module 12 can also use the - entity construction method when analysing the 3D virtual structure model. The entity construction method refers to the complete set of order and poor sources, which are required to physically construct a specific real estate property or structure at a specific location on the earth. This method may depend on the material and the processing specifications inherent to the material and as described by the manufacturer(s) of the material, 200832279. The tools, techniques, and solutions described above can be used to generate models or other structures or materials that can then be used by the 3_〇 analytics module to generate the 3-D virtual component models, which can It is integrated or otherwise assembled to reveal the geolocation 3_D virtual model of the structure. Alternatively, the 3-D emulation module 12 can use the structural imperfections associated with the structure to directly create the 353_D virtual structure model without embodying or using individual 3-D virtual component models. Then, other methods for expressing the 3-D virtual model of the structure (whether or not included in the 3-D virtual component model) can be used, for example, for example, in the name of Hsia〇Lai Sean entitled "for 3D models" Systems and Methods for 3D Modeling and Creation of a Digital Asset Library and applied for US Patent Application No. 2005/ on December 16, 2002. As described in 0131657, the content of the king of the case is hereby incorporated in its entirety. According to an exemplary embodiment, the RevitTM product line, particularly the revittm Buiiding software system, distributed by Autodesk, Inc. (San Rafael, CA) can be used by the 3-D analytics module 12 to establish the structure. The 3-D virtual model, and any 3-D virtual component model that includes the 3D virtual model. The REVITTM Building is a Building Qualification Model Manufacturing (BIM) system that provides a conceptual model manufacturing and design environment that takes any form of overall construction described by the user and maps it to real-world individuals. For example, through conceptual model manufacturing, the user can create a building profile and then select a face to design the 200832279 wall, roof, floor, and curtain system. The REVITTM Building provides a fully integrated building information model with a single project database for simplified project management. Model links are supported for linking individual models into a single integrated project. For example, a "family" (e.g., a house) having nested elements (e.g., various sets of hardware) can be created by detailing the attributes or characteristics of each element. From this information, families can be clearly defined and integrated with other illustrated families to create an overall structure. The REVITTM Building also allows the user to view the individual components and the overall structure in three dimensions, for example, using ray tracing and thermal radiation imaging for 3-D visualization. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that other suitable software applications or techniques can be used to establish a 3-D virtual right of the structure in accordance with an exemplary embodiment, such as, for example, G ο 〇g 1 e I nc ·SKETCHUPTM from the company (Mountain View, Calif.), VIRTUAL BUILDINGTM from Graphisoft US Inc. (Newton, MA), and VECTORWORKSTM, Bentley Systems from Nemetschek Co·Α. (Columbia, Maryland, USA) Inc. The company's building software products (such as MICROSTATIONTM, POWERDRAFTTM, POWERMAPTM, etc.) or any other suitable software application or technology. For an exemplary embodiment in which the 3-D analytic module 120 uses the REVITTM Building, FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the collection of structural information associated with a structure in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The steps for using the REVITTM Bllilding to visualize the 3-D virtual model of the structure. At step 202, a decision is made as to whether or not to press a REVITTM series (number 42 200832279 bit) file. If ^~Right, the receiver generates the REVITTM model from the REVITTM series file included in step 2〇4, or updates it in another way.

For example, as described later, the model is determined at step 206 and the north is § § The program returns to step 202. ^Return to step 202' if it is determined that the structure information is not in the form of a revittm series file 'and then in step 212' - a decision as to whether the structure information is in the form of a digital CAD file If so, then find the digital CAD file in step 214 or use another method. In step 216, the collected digital CAD files are sorted and cataloged. In step 21, the classified/programmed digits are stored. The CAD file (e.g., for backup purposes) is then taken out at step 220. At step 222, the digital cad file is entered into the REVITTM model and redrawed in step 224 in the REVITTM model. The latest input structure information. The method continues with step 204, for example, as described later. Returning to step 212, if it is determined that the structure information is not in the form of a digital cad file, then a step 226 is made regarding the structure information. Whether 43 200832279 - a decision in the form of a paper drawing. If so, then the paper drawing is found or otherwise searched in step 228. In step 230, the collected paper drawings are sorted and cataloged. In step 232, the scan is performed. The classified/indexed paper edge map is made to establish a corresponding digital broadcast in step 234. The generated digital scale is entered into the model in step 236 and is weighted in the REVITTM model in step 224. The newly entered structural information is plotted. The method continues with step 204, such as described above. However, after step 230, an iterative sequence may be used, for example, to construct the structural information digital file, if necessary. The paper drawings are stored at step 238 (for archival purposes), retrieved at step 24, and then scanned again at step 232 to reconstruct the corresponding number The method can be repeated as needed to return to step 238 to repeat the process. Returning to step 226, if it is determined that the structural information is not in the form of a paper drawing, then in step 242, field measurements of the structure can be taken to produce: The three-dimensional REVIT type is constructed as necessary structural information. At step 244, a new REVITTM model can be created from the structural information measured at step 242. This step continues with step 204, as previously described. Any of the appropriate number of steps in the process to abandon any REVITxm^ = slave artisan will recognize that the # 忉乂 step for collecting structural information is not supported by REvitTM Building. = 栳 or digital model for analysing 3-D virtual models. ^ \] Figure 1, the structure information used by the 3-D analysis module 120 to display the 3_ *Ting type can include the genus of the object associated with the structure. Such attributes may include features of the item such as, for example, item type, length, visibility, height, and item weight, materials containing the item, and other materials or information that may be used to properly describe and define the item. For purposes of illustration and not limitation, an item associated with the structure can be a window, and the attributes of the window can include a window type (eg, internal or external, sliding or flat glass, etc.), window dimensions (eg, length and Width), the position of the window on the wall, the type of glass used in the window, and other similar properties. For example, as will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, the attributes of the object will depend on the nature and type of the object described by its attributes. When each object or element within the structure can be described by its attributes, and the objects or elements are assembled to create a three-dimensional virtual (four) sensation of the overall structure, various 3D virtual models can be used and presented. This information. According to an exemplary embodiment, the 3D virtual model may comprise a parametric 3-D virtual model. By means of a parametric model, a modification of one or more attributes of a first object can be configured to cause the 3-7 emulation module (4) to modify at least one of the parametric 3D virtual models to be associated with the One or more attributes of the second item of the first item. For purposes of illustration and not limitation, a door may include an item having the property of describing the door and its location within a wall. Using parametric model processing, if the dimensions of the house door are changed, then the module can be automatically changed to the dimensions of the wall that is included in the door. For example, if the height and width of the door are changed, then the 3_〇 display module 12〇 can automatically change the dimension of the wall surrounding the door so that the door can be properly "installed" into the wall. Inside. Therefore, the attributes of the object can also be used to describe 45 200832279 and the original object are mutually sacred or related to each other _ objects (such as the door in the wall) link in the afternoon hunting or the other option, the The object dragged the item to include the "smart" object. In addition, the 3-D display module 12 can be configured to use the attributes of the smart object and the nature of the action, and to express a motion for a knowledge object. Impact or result.曰 _ ^ ^ ΛΑ ^ The purpose of Feng Shiming is unrestricted. The property of a solid can be its resistance to strong winds or impacts, such as the maximum strong wind of the two. If, in the vicinity of the window: the present-authentic or actual blast, and the intensity of the strong wind is known or measurable, then the 3-D analytic module 12G can analyze the strong wind On the window: effect. For example, if there is a strong wind and the strong wind is at or below the maximum wind force of the household, then the 3D display module (3) can show that the window is intact. However, if a strong wind occurs The strong wind is south of the maximum wind force that the window can withstand, and then the Μ analysing module 120 can visualize the window as being "blown" or otherwise destroyed. This can be done using intelligent objects to determine the effect, and generally the environment and the actions that occur within the environment are on smart objects and structures. These smart objects can be used to create a "smart" 3D virtual model in which the ° 3-D emulation module 120 can "know" (ie, properly calculate or estimate) the effects of the action's Objects that occur within, on or near the structure or that occur in the structure itself are provided. The effect of these actions can then be displayed to the user as part of the overall status awareness provided by the system 100. According to an exemplary embodiment, the 3D D emulation module 12 is further configured to transmit a structure that is associated with a condition that has been collected by the conditional awareness module 11G or otherwise otherwise discarded. The status of the cognitive information integration, or ^ method is included in the 3-D virtual model of the agency's 2 η &amp; . For example, the 3_d analysis module 120 can create a graphic overlay of the digested fields and k fields to blend or overlay the conditional awareness information within or on the 3D virtual model of the structure. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the 3D display module 12() can be configured to display a received sensor or other located in the structure in the 3-D virtual model. Sensor data for nearby or internal building equipment. For example, individual sensors or other instruments located in, on or near the structure may be categorized into an object and may be accompanied by attributes (eg, sensor type, clothing, type, location) Etc.) described. The status recognition information received by the status cognitive module can be communicated to the 3D display module i2. The 3D demodulation module 认知2〇 can recognize the information according to the received condition to appropriately modify the attributes of the object. For purposes of illustration and not limitation, the article may be a flame sensor within a room on a certain floor of the structure. The received conditional awareness does not indicate that the flame sensor is activated, and the sensor indicates that the temperature in the room is 225 〇F. The 3-D analytics module 120 can use these signals to modify or otherwise update the attributes associated with the given flame sensor. The 3-D display module 120 can be used by, for example, changing the color, highlighting, flickering, or other video and/or audio representation of the flame sensor within the 3-D virtual model. Updated properties to visualize the flame sensor. In addition, sensor data received from the flame sensor (eg, temperature in the room) may be present near or adjacent to the flame sensor, the structure being provided at 47 200832279 and in particular the given room The latest status assessment. According to an exemplary embodiment, each, any combination or all of the sensors that are displayed within the 3D virtual model of the structure may be "link points" for allowing user access to be associated with the sensor. Information. For example, when using the link (for example, by clicking a mouse or other electric device) to click on the virtual representation of the sensor, you can click in a window, jump out of the window, or dialog box. The user is shown the ❹彳H data received from the corresponding sense ( (eg, the temperature in the room when received from the flame sensor). Key nodes can also be used to guide users to or provide information from sources or sources (such as websites, databases, etc.). However, according to an exemplary embodiment, the status recognition information of any text $graphic may be displayed or otherwise provided to the user in this manner. For example, a video surveillance machine can be represented as an object and also as a link in the 3d virtual model. Therefore, when the user selects or clicks on another party, the video surveillance in the virtual model of the virtual camera (10) is the link point, and can be (for example, in the -out window frame) The camera is quiet: film, streaming video, etc.). In addition, if the situational awareness information contains environmental information (for example, received from a point of meteorological poor material), the 3-D analysis module! 20 can be implanted... in the 3-D In the virtual model, the environment in which the products are in short supply, and the ^^ is located. For example, if u brother δί1 ' to show that the structure is raining, the rain can be regarded as another; :: indicates the positive vicinity of the structure, etc.), for example. Then, the attribute (eg, the temperature, the rainfall using the rainfall object, and its attribute two 3-D analytic group 120 can then be visually represented by the three 48 200832279 dimension of rainfall near the structure. By creating a new object And related attributes to accommodate the capital ▲ or to associate existing objects and their attributes with the data or to update them with 3 pieces of material.' Other situational awareness information can be integrated into the 3-D virtual model of the structure. Inside.

The 3-D display module 12 can be configured to display a position associated with any and all objects within, on or near the structure and/or the object in the 3D virtual model. Contains people or other people located at the structure. In this way, you can update, track, and monitor the movement of individuals within, near, or near the structure. For example, each individual may be an item of related attributes (10) such as name, organization, such as firefighters or police, Gps seat, and other similar information. From the ps coordinates from each person: = status awareness module 11G (through the communication module 115), the Μ: 2 &quot; update the attributes of each "object" (ie, personnel) with the new coordinates to effectively Tracking the movement of each or any person at the scene:: Each person or any person is equipped with a health monitoring device (such as heart rate, blood pressure, etc.), such health information can be The module m (for example, through the situation recognition module 110), = new; "object" attributes. This information can be provided to the user: m (four) nodes can be displayed in the box in the selection. In addition or in another option, the 3_d analysis module uses: health information to establish a warning or alarm associated with the "object", 1:::: person: hop rate drop or super-high-preset Water Criterion Objects: Γ indicates that the person may be in an anxious or dangerous situation, and the _D analytics module i2G can integrate any or all of the 49 200832279 'day-to-day or near-immediate status information to Within the 3D virtual model, it is used to display the status assessment and response plan to the user. Thus, the 3-stomach D virtual model of the structure can contain structural information, conditional awareness information, and any other suitable type of information for establishing a correct, geo-located 3D virtual model of the structure that can be used for condition assessment. And respond to the plan. Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating various types of capital including the 3-D virtual model 3 (10) in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

News. For example, the Geographic Information System (GIS) data set 3-5 provides appropriate GIS data 310, such as, for example, location, ground use, terrain, and climate data. Located on top of the GIS data 310, from the revitTM

The intelligent model data 315 of the Building platform provides appropriate building model data 320 such as, for example, entry/exit routes, floor/zone arrangements, emergency machine valve interceptors, facility/maintenance materials, property/component data, and the like. Overlaid on the building model data 320 and the GIS data 31, a suitable bedding system and signal network 325 can provide appropriate field sensor data 330 such as, for example, an infrared sensor, video surveillance, wireless Network networks, biometric sensors, and more. The stacked information repository can include a 3D virtual model 300 that can be displayed to the user via a suitable graphical user interface. Returning to Figure 1 'The system 100 includes a graphical user interface (Gm) module 125 in communication with the 3-d display module ι2. The Gm module 125 is configured to display to the user a 3-D virtual model that integrates conditional awareness information associated with the structure. The Gm module 125 can include any suitable type of user interface that can display to the user the 3D virtual model of the interface containing 50 200832279 text and/or graphical information. For example, the GUI module 125 can be configured to display through a suitable web page on a display (eg, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firef (Firef). 3x), safari, Opera, or any other suitable web browser) displays the 3D virtual model. According to an exemplary embodiment, a 3-D virtual model of the structure, for example incorporating contextual awareness information associated with the structure, can be displayed on a network such as an internal network or an external network. For example, the 3-D virtual model can be remotely displayed on a display 130 by the GUI module 125 via a suitable web browser on the Internet or the World Wide Web. However, in accordance with an alternative exemplary embodiment, the GUI module 125 can be configured to display a 3D virtual model of the structure having contextual awareness information associated with the structure on any suitable type of portable display device , such as a number of assistants (pDA) and so on. Thus, the display 130 can be displayed by any suitable type of portable or stationary &lt;RTIgt;&apos;&apos;&apos;&apos;&apos; When different types of user interfaces are used to display the 3D virtual model on different types of displays 130, the system 100 can optionally include a model for communication between the /3D header module 120 and the GUI module 125.枳,, and 13 5. The model translation module 135 is configured to convert the 3D virtual model represented by the analytic module 120 or replace it with another method 2, and the display 130 can be displayed by the Gm module 125. =乜. For example, the model translation module 135 can use appropriate conversion or program and/or lookup table mapping to render the 3-D virtual from graphics and/or data formats used by the system i(10) 51 200832279. The structural model is converted to a graphic and/or data format used by the user interface on the display 130, and vice versa. The system 100 can support any suitable number of individual user interfaces and displays 130, and the model translation module 135 can be converted to use the 3-D virtual model or otherwise; The data format supported by the user interface and display 130 (eg, one-to-many relationship). Alternatively, each user interface and display 130 may have an additional model translation module 135 to perform the necessary conversion operations. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the GUI module 125 can include any suitable type of GIS. A GIS system is a system for establishing, storing, analyzing, and managing spatial data and related attributes. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the gui module m may include a G〇〇GLETM Eanh application provided by G00GLE Inc. (Mountain View, Calif.). GOOGLE Earth is a 3-D software application that combines star imagery, maps, and googleTM search capabilities to provide users with access to _ global geographic information. With GOOGLETM Earth, users can point and zoom anywhere on the planet that users want to explore (such as a specific address). The satellite image is then scaled and a picture presented to the user for a local location to a location or location. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that other suitable software applications or techniques can be used to display the 3-D virtual model of the structure in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. For example, according to an exemplary embodiment, the REVIttm Bmldmg software application can be used to create a 3-D virtual model of the structure, and the GOOGLETM Earth software application can be used to display 130 to the user through the display 52 200832279. The 3-D virtual model. Thus, the GOOGLE Earth can be used to navigate and view the 3-d virtual model, and any ideas that can be searched for using the 4 GOOGLETM search function to search for the 3-D virtual model. More specifically, the 3-D display module 12 can use the reVITTM Building to create a 3D virtual model of the structure, and then load or otherwise input the generated 3_D virtual model to the GUI. The module 125 is used within the GoogletM Earth software application. However, the data format of the 3-D virtual model generated by the revitTM Bui ding is not necessarily supported by the GOOGLEtm Earth and vice versa. Therefore, in order to display the 3D virtual model through the Googletm Earth, the 3-D virtual model can be converted into the googleTM Earth by using the name model transfer module 135 to freely convert the data format supported by the rEvitTM Building. Supported data styles and vice versa. For example, as described above, the 4 model transfer module i 3 5 can use a suitable conversion, translation or transcoding algorithm and/or lookup table mapping between different formats to convert the 3_d virtual model from a data format to another. Of course, if the data format of the 3_D virtual model generated by the 3D display module 120 can be supported by the Gm module 125 and the user interface used by the display 13 or may be compatible by other methods, it may be It is not necessary to use the model translation module 135. The GUI module 125 is configured to display a 3-D virtual model of the structure and any material associated with the structure via the display 13 through the appropriate graphical user interface. For example, the GGm module 2525 can be set by the forgiveness to display to the user the genus of each cow associated with the structure at the time of the request, as described elsewhere, such as via the link point through the dialogue party 53 200832279 Block or jump out of the window to render the - ^ ~ specific poor news. In addition or in addition, an indicator of a hunting-mouse cursor or other computer pointing device passes through an object 1 and can be displayed to the user - a suitable dialog box or a pop-up window with information about the given object. .

忒GUI grouping 125-step configuration is configured to receive instructions from the user for guiding the A 3-D virtual model to check the structure and conditional awareness information associated with the structure. In other words, the user may be presented with appropriate navigation buttons or controls (eg, up/down movement, left/right movement, zoom in/out, up/down) in a graphical user interface displayed on the display 130. Rotate, rotate left/right, etc.). These navigation controls can be used to alter the map of the 13⁄4 3-D virtual model such that (4) the 3D virtual model (4) can be examined for any medial or lateral view at any suitable angle, height, distance, orientation, and the like. The (4) Gm module 125 can process the navigation commands generated by the navigation control items to provide the user with the desired 3D virtual model view. For example, the (10) module 125 can be configured to display the layers of the 3-D virtual model to the user for viewing structural components (eg, piping systems, power systems, systems, mechanical systems, environmental systems, Emergency equipment system, etc.) and the internal arrangement of the structure. According to an exemplary embodiment, the GU] [module 125 can be configured to allow the user to "stripe" the outer layer of the 3-D virtual model to view more of the inner side of the structure for 2 consecutive times. For example, the user can remove the outer layer (outer wall and roof) of the structure to view the immediate inner side of the structure. The user can then remove the interior wall to view the interior of the structure and the hallway. In addition or in the alternative, the user may "stripe" the floor of the structure to view any lower floor 54 200832279 layers such as 'after removing the outer layer of the structure, the user may remove the top floor of the structure And then the map is tilted and rotated to show the inner face arrangement of the penultimate floor. In addition, to view structural elements located within the wall or other items within the structure, the GUI module 125 can be configured to allow the user to change the opacity of any item. For example, a navigation control in the form of a slide lever or the like may allow a user to change the opacity of an object (eg, a wall) from 1% (completely opaque) to (completely transparent), or any The expected opacity between them. Other such controls may be provided to allow the user to view any and all of the views of the 3D virtual model for condition assessment and response planning. The system 100 can include other suitable modules to assist the user in condition assessment and response planning. For example, the system i can include an analog module 14 that communicates with the D emulation module 120. The simulation module 14 can be configured to generate an analog of the situational cognitive context associated with the structure. The analog module U0 can support preset or "scheduled" simulations. For example, by modifying or causing the 3-D analytics module 12 to modify the attributes associated with one or more sensors to indicate that a fire has been detected, certain fire alarms may be detected by the analog module 14 Start for example. For example, a simulated conditional awareness information such as a fire: temperature can be provided to the 3D visualization module for use in the 3-D virtual structure model to be visualized and ultimately displayed to the user. A suitable log or recording functionality (eg, a module included in or separated from the analog module 40) can be used to record a response to the simulation 2 and allow the user to play the entire simulation at a subsequent time. . This or another option may be used for "predetermined" simulation scenarios, such as using an appropriate algorithm, 55 200832279 布 'Bulin or other logic functions, or even artificial intelligence to be created by the simulation module 14 Random and dynamic simulations, depending on such factors as the needs of the simulation, the nature, type and complexity of the desired simulation, the potential threat of the structure and other similar factors. In any complex, dynamic, and potentially life-threatening situation, it may become difficult for the staff to assess the situation and form an appropriate response to deal with the situation. The system includes one and the other. The 3_D emulation mode is a conditional cognitive response module 145. The conditional awareness response module 145 is configured to generate one or more acknowledgment responses to an emergency condition or any other critical condition occurring within, on or near the structure. The status awareness module 145 can be in the form of a suitable algorithm, Brin or other editing function or rule, neural network, and/or artificial intelligence that can learn about the event and formulate a response based on the information. 2 children incidents. At a level, the conditional awareness response module 14 5 can refer to a look-up table of the field, which can map the situational awareness information to the proposed feedback. For example, if the right flame sensor is activated, The status cognition response ^, % and 145 彳 use the positive flame five detector start event to query, for example, the corresponding response of the start fire ^ 2 °, clear the structure, and notify the fire department and the local bureau to choose another appropriate Brin or other logic or rule 2 proposes a response to the situation. For example, if a flame sensor is activated and the measured temperature is above 15G °F, then a fire warning is initiated and fire is notified. . The complexity of such logic or rules will depend on the nature of the situation and the number and type of responses to the :: context, and other similar factors. The more complex mechanisms such as neural networks can be adapted to learn how to return 56 200832279 应 ; should be a specific situation. For example, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the conditional awareness response module 145 can communicate with the simulation module 14 to provide a proposed response to the simulated contexts, for example to allow such r learning to occur and to improve the and other Respond to the algorithm. As part of the proposed response to a simulated or real situation, it may be necessary to clear the structure but allow the responder to locate the source of the problem or event that occurred within the structure. Therefore, the system can be configured to provide an indication of an effective route to, through, and out of the structure. According to an exemplary embodiment, the system 100 can include a path selection module 15 that communicates with the 3D display module 120. The path selection module 15 is configured to use the structural information and conditional awareness information associated with the structure to determine the entry and/or exit routes or other paths through the structure. For example, the exit route may be a clearance route from the structure for an individual located within the building, and the entry route may indicate to the respondent that entering and passing the structure to the location of the event, emergency, or other critical condition. The shortest line in the spring. The 3-D display module 120 is configured to display the entry and/or exit routes within the virtual model for display to the user via the Gm module 125 on the display 13 . In other words, the path selection module 150 can be configured to determine the shortest route between multiple points within the structure, and the 3D display module 120 can be configured to be within the 3...D virtual model. The shortest route is revealed for display to the user. Any suitable path selection algorithm can be used to determine the route between different locations or points within, near, and through the structure. For example, the path selection module 150 can be configured to maintain a list of all individual paths substantially through the junction 57 200832279:2, including all along the corridors 'entering and passing through the room, up and down 7 And so on individual paths. A route between two points within the structure may include one or more individual paths that are joined or otherwise joined to form a continuous path. Depending on, for example, the length of an individual path (eg, a shorter path has a lower or lesser weight than a longer path), traversing the difficult level of the individual path (eg, a lock path will have a high weight, whereas an unobstructed path There will be a low weight) and other similar factors that specify a path weight for each individual path through the structure. Can use _ other similar factors used to determine the "weight" of individual paths. Thus, the path selection module 150 can be configured to generate a total path weight for the route by summing the path weights of the individual paths containing the route. The 3-D emulation module 120 can be configured to emulate a route having the lowest total path weight between a plurality of points within the structure within the 3d virtual model for display to the user. Alternatively, the user may be presented with a preset number of alternative routes having the lowest path weight between the two points to provide the user with a choice of a valid route. The route selection module 15 can be automatically modified by the user or manually by the user to make a route between multiple points within the structure (eg, in response to a change in status, such as, for example, A path that suddenly becomes blocked.) In addition to displaying the proposed route or a route through the structure, the routing module 丨5〇 can be configured to calculate a distance measurement 'for each of the proposed entry and exit routes through the structure for use in Displayed to the user (eg by adding the length of each individual path containing the route). The library module 105, the status recognition module 11〇, the communication 58 200832279, the module 115, the 3-D analysis module 120, the GUI module 125, the model translation module 135, the simulation The module 14〇, the status recognition module and the path selection module 150, or any combination of the system 1〇〇, may be capable of performing the functions associated with the individual elements (4) Or the element # is included in the electrical component or device. In accordance with this exemplary embodiment, each component or device can communicate with another component or device using any suitable type of electrical, e.g., connection, capable of conducting (e.g., electrical) information. Alternatively-selection, each module of the system can be comprised of any hardware, dynamic and software combination capable of performing the functions of the individual modules. Another option 'The system (10) can be - or more A microprocessor and associated recorder are included, which can store the steps of the computer program to perform any or all of the functions of the module. The microprocessor can be any suitable type of processor such as, for example, any type of general purpose microprocessor or microcontroller, digital signal processing (Dsp) processor-specific application integrated circuit (ASIC), - Stylized read-only memory (pR〇M), one: erase I-programmed read-only memory (Ep_), - electronic erasable process: = only memory (EEPRQM), _ computer readable media and many more. The memory: any suitable type of computer memory or any other type of storage medium: such as, for example, read-only memory (r〇m), random access memory = ram am), cache memory, optical disc Read only memory c (cdr 〇 (4), learning memory, magnetic optical memory, etc. For example, when the above description of the conventional L is understood, the memory can be stylized using a technique known to those skilled in the art. To perform the function of any of the "(10) 戍 59 200832279 • all modules. For example, the actual source code or object code of the computer program can be stored in the memory. An alternative architecture or structure can be used to implement Various functions of the system 100 described herein. For example, functions from two or more modules can be implemented in a single module, or functions from one module can be in several different modules.

The display engine 415 is configured to display to the user a 3D virtual model that incorporates contextual awareness information associated with the facility for reviewing the 3-D virtual for status assessment and emergency response planning. For example, a suitable display device 417 in communication with the display engine 'I $ can be used to display the 3_〇 virtual model to the user. The conditional awareness engine 405 can include a store. The storage unit 420 can be configured to store structural information associated with the facility, 60 200832279 • status information associated with the facility, information generated by the 3-D virtual model generation engine 410 The 3-D virtual model of the facility, and/or any other suitable information. The conditional awareness engine 405 can also include or be in communication with a transceiver 425. The transceiver 425 is configured to transmit and receive The conditional awareness information. The system 400 can include a conditional awareness response engine 430 in communication with the 3-D virtual model generation engine 41. The conditional awareness response engine 430 is responsive to the occurrence of the facility. One or more of the proposed responses are generated by an emergency, event or other critical condition at the inside, above or near. The condition aware response engine 430 can include a simulation engine 435. The simulation engine 435 can be ambiguous to generate an analogy of the situational context associated with the facility. The conditional awareness response engine 430 can also include a path decision engine 440. The path decision engine can be configured to use the structural information and conditional awareness information associated with the facility to determine the entry and/or exit routes through the facility.

And the 3D virtual type 700 of the structure shown in GOOGLETM Eanh. The 3_0 Virtual Model 7 is the Gund Hall inhabited by the Harvard University Design Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Hong D virtual model 7 (9) is constructed in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention using, for example, structural information associated with the structure. The first picture shown in Figure 7. is an external side view of the Gund Hau from the southeast corner of the building. The navigation control item 7〇5 is presented to the user for manually changing the viewing surface of the 3-D virtual model, including moving the model up/down and left/right, zooming in/out the model, Rotate the model up/down and left/right, change the elevation angle, and other similar controls. In addition, the viewing control item 71 can be used as "shortcut 67 200832279 - to change the 3_D virtual model map to a preset angle, rotation, elevation angle, etc.*, etc. For example, FIG. 8 is a second diagram according to the present An exemplary embodiment of the invention is directed to a 3D virtual model 7 from the west entrance of GundHall. By selecting a viewing control item 8〇5 for "viewing the west entrance", G〇〇GLETM Earth can be automatically The viewing surface is adjusted to present a preset view of the 3-D virtual model 700 to the user. The user can use the appropriate navigation controls to view any face or portion of the 3D virtual model 700, whether internal or external. For example, Fig. 9 is a system of the 3-D virtual model 7 from inside Gund Hall according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In particular, Figure 9 illustrates the inside second floor of the Gund Hall and features features such as steps, handrails, floors, ceiling beams or street stands. The user can manually "enter" the interior of the 3_1) virtual model 7 by using the appropriate navigation control. Alternatively, a viewing control item 〇5 for "watching the interior of the second floor" may cause GOOGLETM Earth to automatically adjust the map to present a preset internal map of the 3-D virtual model 700 to the user. As described in the text, the emergency response system allows the user to "reinforce" the 3-D virtual mode $700 (four) layer and continuously view the inner side view of the structure. For example, FIG. 1 is a fourth diagram illustrating a 3D virtual model 7〇() having several layers of Gund Hall in accordance with the present invention. Appropriate layer control _5 may be used to remove and restore various layers or other features of the 3-D virtual model 700 to allow the user to view any internal or external features such as structural elements and the like. For example, the layer control item 1005 may allow the user to remove and restore the other features of the 3_D virtual 6δ 200832279 pseudo model 700 such as "all walls", "floor plan", "side glass", "handrail", "roof" The characteristics of the truss and the roof glass. In Figure 10, the layer control item (10) 5 has been used to remove or otherwise strip the "roof truss" and the "roof glass" to provide -GUnd Hall # inside view. Any level of internal or external detail of the structure can be viewed in this manner. For example, FIG. 1 is a fifth diagram illustrating the presence of G^d hchuan according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The top truss and the roof glass show only the inner and outer walls of the Gund Hau. According to an exemplary embodiment, immediacy or near-instant condition recognition information is integrated into the 3-D virtual model for purposes of condition assessment and response planning. For example, Fig. 12 is a sixth diagram illustrating a 3D virtual model 70 of integrated situational awareness information in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 12, the 3-D virtual model 700 incorporates (immediate or near-immediate) sensor data from a heat sensor and displays such information as a point 12〇5 to indicate that the detected data has been detected. To this heat and locate the location of the sensor at a particular room within the Gund Hall (eg, room 421, student office). Based on this information, appropriate condition assessment and return planning can be carried out. According to an exemplary embodiment, the emergency response system may recognize information based on the condition to provide one or more proposed responses. For example, Figure 13 is a seventh diagram illustrating a 3-D virtual model 700 based on the conditional awareness information to provide a proposed response, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment 69 of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the emergency response system has determined that the conditional awareness information from the heat sensing indicates that a fire occurred in the given room and may display a flame or fire image 13〇5 to illustrate the Dangerous situation. In response to this, the emergency response system may display to the evacuees a clearance route 13 10 from the structure and a predetermined designated meeting place 1 3 1 5 to ensure that each person has safely left the structure. As mentioned earlier, the emergency response system can provide an indication of entry and/or exit routes or other paths through the structure. For example, Figure 14 is an eighth diagram illustrating a 3_d j pseudo-model 700 based on the conditional awareness information to provide a route 14〇5 through the structure, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. For example, illustrated in Figure 14, the route i4〇5 is indicated by a line passing through the structure that incorporates the individual paths. The continuous route!4〇5 starts at a point 一侧4ι〇 at the entrance of one side to the cognitive information based on the situation that can be reached (for example, no internal obstacles, obstacles or blockades are detected). The + / i J side emergency response system can provide the shortest route 1405 to the chaotic center _ ^ ^ &amp; the center of the cry (that is, the thermal sense of the end 1415) according to the exemplary embodiment, The user can be shown the way, "one of the video_ and visually lead the user from the starting point MU) to the Μ Μ ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , A series of static maps inside the structure, for example, this allows the user to decide whether there is a difficulty crossing the route 14〇5 7 extra-mandibular danger or other critical conditions' and to provide visual directions or clues to reach the end point 1415. 70 200832279 Figure 15 is a ninth item, which is described in the context of the present invention, in which the user is able to "extract the sth." ^ 3_D virtual model 700 layer to _ lost u any Ministry of opinion. For example, by looking at: to the desired floor indication (Example 9 &quot; ° Move a "1F" to the first floor, "2F" to the second floor '3F" to the third floor, for the younger brother (3) P" is the fourth floor of the brother, the factory is the fifth floor and "for" MW), the sliding rod 1505 can be used to strip out any of the 15 structures in the -D virtual model 7〇〇, the layer has been marked (10) Moving to "...that is, the first floor" is incorrectly stripped from the second to fifth floors and the roof to reveal the fourth floor of the fourth floor. "II% of the information on the first floor is displayed and used. By. Such conditional awareness information may include the location on the first floor (indicated by detail 1515) and the emergency responder (indicated by the thick point 152〇) and the search line by the emergency responder ( Indicated by line 1525). It may also be displayed in the appropriate heads-up display 153&quot; located in the head of the emergency responder, any or all of the 3D virtual model 7 and the integrated conditional awareness information. The heads up display 1530 can provide an arrow 1535 or other direction indicator to direct the emergency responder to a desired location within the structure indicated by a position indicator 1500. Using the slide bar 1505, any floor and floor of the structure (and any features on the floor) can be viewed within the 3-D virtual model 700 by moving the layer mark 1510 to the desired floor indication. For example, Figure 16 is a tenth diagram showing a 3-D virtual model 700 having a number of floors stripped in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In Figure i6, the layer has been moved to “4F” (the fourth floor), and the fifth floor and roof are removed to reveal the fourth floor screen of Gund Hall. Furthermore, once stripped, the map of the 3-D virtual model 700 has been altered. For example, Figure 17 is an eleventh diagram illustrating a 3D virtual model 7 (8) rotated and having a number of floors stripped, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 17, the layer mark 1510 has been moved to r 1F" (i.e., the first floor), thereby peeling off the second to fifth floors and the roof to reveal the first floor. Additionally, the spin control 1515 can be moved to rotate = virtual model 700', for example, to view the opposite side of the first floor of the Gund HaU. 9. In addition, the user may be shown any feature of one of the floors of the structure or on the basin. For example, M 18 is a twelfth diagram illustrating a three-seven virtual model 7 having various features that are stripped of several floors and indicated on the displayed floor in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the = layer mark 151 is still marked "1F" (that is, the first floor), thereby stripping the younger brother - to the fifth floor and the roof to reveal the first floor of Gund Hal!. A feature display control 1805 can be used to indicate the type and location of the device and other components of the type in the given map. For example, by selecting "population" from the feature display control $(10)5, the user can display the entry position on the first floor of the structure (e.g., as arrow 181〇). Figure 19 is a thirteenth view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention illustrating an additional feature virtual right 700 having a plurality of floors stripped and indicating a position on the displayed floor. In FIG. 19, by selecting "emergency exit" from the feature display control 72 200832279 item 1805, the user can display the emergency exit position on the first floor in the structure (for example, as a rectangle 19〇5) ). Figure 20 is a fourteenth diagram illustrating a 3-D virtual model 700 having additional features that are stripped of several floors and indicated on the displayed floor, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 20, by selecting "ladder", "firefighter" and "occupier" from the feature display control item 1805, a step can be displayed to the user (for example, by step image 2 (10) 5), the fire hydrant (for example, indicating the hydrant image 2〇1〇) and the location of the occupant (for example, not pointing to point 2015). Thus, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment, by integrating immediate or near-immediate conditional awareness information into the virtual fork 700 of the structure, the user can view a complete, up-to-date perspective of the interior and exterior of the structure to Consider appropriate condition assessment and response planning for any emergency or other critical situation occurring within, on or near the structure. w
