Patent ID: 8291309

Claim:
A system for remote visualization of a device's faceplate, comprising: a processor; a data store associated with an industrial device configured to store a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file, the SVG file including data representative of the industrial device's physical faceplate; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions configured to implement the system, including: a delivery component configured to deliver the SVG file to a Web browser of a client device in response to a request from the client device, wherein the SVG file is configured to, in response to execution, render an interactive graphical representation of the industrial device's faceplate within a the Web browser, the interactive graphical representation allowing remote monitoring and modification of at least one parameter associated with the industrial device via the Web browser; and a component configured to use one or more of a statistic, a probability, an inference, or a classifier to facilitate at least one of location of the SVG file, execution of the SVG file, or interaction with the industrial device via the interactive graphical representation.
