Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising: receiving temperature data for a thermostat; receiving time data for the thermostat; generating a graphical interface for the thermostat, wherein the graphical interface displays one or more setpoint icons relative to a temperature axis and a time axis, wherein each of the one or more setpoint icons is associated with a respective temperature from the temperature data and time from the time data; receiving input corresponding to a selection of a setpoint icon located at a single setpoint origin; and receiving input corresponding to a drag of the setpoint icon, wherein when the setpoint icon is dragged from the single setpoint origin primarily in the direction of the temperature axis, movement along the temperature axis is restricted such that only temperature can be adjusted, and wherein when the setpoint icon is dragged from the single setpoint origin primarily in the direction of the time axis, movement along the time axis is restricted such that only time can be adjusted.
