Abstract

Devices, systems, and methods for displaying objects on a portion of a display are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a memory and a processor to execute instructions stored in the memory to determine a zoom object to be displayed on a display panel of a fire control panel in response to the fire control panel transitioning from a normal operating mode to a battery backup mode, determine a modified Light Emitting Diode (LED) backlight setting for the zoom object in response to the fire control panel being in the battery backup mode, and cause the zoom object to be displayed on a subsection of the display panel using the modified LED backlight setting.

  2. 2. The controller (101, 201, 401) of claim 1, wherein the processor (440) is configured to determine the zoom object via an object lookup table using a default object displayed on the display panel (102, 202) when the fire control panel (104, 204) is in the normal operation mode.
  3. 3. The controller (101, 201, 401) of claim 2, wherein the scaled object is associated with the default object in the object lookup table.
  4. 4. The controller (101, 201, 401) of claim 2, wherein the zoom object is smaller than the default object when displayed on the display panel (102, 202).
  5. 5. The controller (101, 201, 401) of claim 2, wherein the zoom object comprises a predetermined image setting different from an image setting of the default object.
  6. 6. The controller (101, 201, 401) of claim 1, wherein the processor (440) is configured to determine the modified LED backlight settings via a backlight settings look-up table using reference backlight settings associated with a default object displayed on the display panel (102, 202) when the fire control panel (104, 204) is in the normal operation mode.
  7. 7. The controller (101, 201, 401) of claim 6, wherein the modified LED backlight settings are associated with the reference backlight settings in the backlight settings look-up table.
  8. 8. The controller (101, 201, 401) of claim 6, wherein the modified LED backlight setting is darker than the reference backlight setting.
  9. 9. The controller (101, 201, 401) of claim 1, wherein the processor (440) is configured to cause the scaled object to be displayed by causing a backlight controller (214) to illuminate a sub-portion (220) of a plurality of backlights (218) included in a backlight LED matrix (216) of the display panel (102, 202) according to the modified LED backlight setting.
  10. 10. The controller (101, 201, 401) of claim 1, wherein the processor (440) is configured to cause the scaled object to be displayed by causing a video controller (222) to enable a subset of a plurality of pixels (224) of the display panel (102, 202).

Description

Displaying objects on a portion of a display Technical Field The present disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods for displaying objects on a portion of a display. Background Facilities such as commercial facilities, office buildings, hospitals, campuses (e.g., including buildings and outdoor spaces), etc. may have event detection systems that may be triggered during an event such as an emergency, e.g., a fire, to alert occupants of the evacuation. Such event detection systems may include an alarm system having a control panel and a plurality of event devices (e.g., sensors, sounders, pull-type fire boxes, etc.) located throughout the facility (e.g., at different floors and/or different rooms of the facility), which may perform actions when an event (e.g., a dangerous event, a malfunction event, etc.) occurs in the facility. In an example of an event, the plurality of event devices may provide notification of the event to occupants of the facility via an alarm and/or other mechanism. Drawings Fig. 1 is an example of a system for displaying objects on a portion of a display in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 2 illustrates an example of a fire control panel having a representation of a zoom object displayed on a display panel during a battery backup mode in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 3 illustrates an example of a fire control panel displaying a zoom object on a display panel during a battery backup mode according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. Fig. 4 is an example of a controller for displaying objects on a portion of a display in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. Detailed Description Devices, systems, and methods for displaying objects on a portion of a display are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a memory and a processor to execute instructions stored in the memory to determine a zoom object to be displayed on a display panel of a fire control panel in response to the fire control panel transitioning from a normal operating mode to a battery backup mode, determine a modified Light Emitting Diode (LED) backlight setting for the zoom object in response to the fire control panel being in the battery backup mode, and cause the zoom object to be displayed on a subsection of the display panel using the modified LED backlight setting. The facility may utilize an event detection system to alert occupants of the facility of an emergency event, such as a fire. The event detection system may be a system of devices that operate to collect information about a facility and provide the collected information for analysis. Such event detection systems may also take action based on the collected information, such as providing an audible and/or visual alert in an emergency event. For example, event detection systems may utilize event devices to alert occupants to emergency events occurring in a space, such as a fire. As used herein, the term "event device" refers to a device that can receive input related to an event and/or generate output related to an event. Such event devices may be part of a space in a facility/event detection system in an entire facility, and may include devices such as fire devices including fire sensors, smoke detectors, thermal detectors, carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, or combinations of these devices, fire control panels, air quality sensors, interfaces, manual alarm points (MCPs), pull fire boxes, input/output modules, getters, fire doors, and/or auditory/visual devices (e.g., speakers, sounders, flashes, buzzers, microphones, cameras, video displays, video screens, etc.), relay output modules, and other types of event devices. Such event devices may also include self-checking capabilities. In an event detection system, a control panel, such as a fire control panel, may utilize a display panel to display information to a user. For example, the display panel may display information about event devices in the system, such as their status, whether any events are occurring, and so forth. If an event occurs, the display panel may display information related to the event, such as the type of event, the event device that detected the event, the location of the event device, etc. During normal operation of the control panel, the control panel may be powered by the power mains. For example, during normal operation, an Alternating Current (AC) mains may provide power to the control panel. However, in the event of an AC mains interruption to the control panel, the control panel may operate in a battery backup mode. When in the battery standby mode, the battery may provide power to the control panel to enable the control panel to continue operation. For example, when the control panel is battery powered in the battery backup mode, it may communicate (e.g., send and/or receive information) with event devices in the facility and
