METHOD FOR CREATING A MENU STRUCTURE ON A MEASURING TRANSDUCER OF PROCESS AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053995 titled 'METHOD FOR CREATING A MENU STRUCTURE ON A MEASURING TRANSDUCER OF PROCESS AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for creating a menu structure on a measuring transducer of process automation technology by transmitting an app to the measuring transducer, combining app-specific menu structure with a measuring-transducer-specific menu structure, and integrating them using anchor points.

  • The method involves transmitting an app to the measuring transducer.
  • The app contains program code with an app-specific menu structure.
  • The app-specific menu structure includes at least one root page as the top hierarchical menu page.
  • The app-specific menu structure is combined with a measuring-transducer-specific menu structure to form a common menu structure.
  • The measuring-transducer-specific menu structure uses anchor points to integrate the app-specific menu structure.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method for creating a menu structure on a measuring transducer of process automation technology includes a step of transmitting an app to the measuring transducer, wherein the firmware of the measuring transducer is designed to receive and store apps. the app comprises at least program code with an app-specific menu structure, and the app-specific menu structure comprises at least one root page as the top hierarchical menu page. the method also includes combining the app-specific menu structure with a measuring-transducer-specific menu structure to form a common menu structure. the measuring-transducer-specific menu structure is located in the measuring transducer and uses a placeholder comprising one or more anchor points, wherein the placeholder defines where the app-specific menu structure is integrated into the measuring-transducer-specific menu structure. the anchor point comprises a reference to the root page and the entire app-specific menu structure is integrated below the latter.
