User interface and single pane of glass (SPOG)

IoT devices collect data, and a communications network transfers that data to a computing platform locally or on the cloud. At this point, individuals will need to interact with the data and the computing platform to monitor and control building systems. The User Interface (UI) is the defined method of interaction between an individual and a computer. This interaction is conducted in the form of screens, pages, forms, buttons, and other visual elements.

Simplicity and efficiency are the desired goals for this interaction, and users typically prefer to use intuitive UIs. These replace the need for the user to learn specific commands and languages, thereby allowing non-technical people access to data. Often, users are alienated by poorly designed or overly complex navigation applications. Good UI typically hides the complexity behind the interface.

Types of UI include the following:

  • Graphical User Interface (GUI): Audio indicators...
