Patent 7953419 was granted and assigned to Siemens AG on May, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
In a data communications network building automation system, integration of wirelessly communicating network nodes is visualized in a process environment on an output unit of a commissioning device. The current spatial position of the commissioning device is detected and represented in the visualized process environment by detecting an identification signal of the network nodes and determining a relative spatial position of the network nodes for which the identification signal was detected. A proposal for the assignment of the detected identification signal to a node model is stored in a database based on the relative spatial position, in relation to the spatial position of the commissioning device.
