Instruction for Using the Navigation Widget

Situation Description

The SmartPlayer platform regularly receives updates and new functionalities, including widgets. The navigation widget described below will help users navigate within their premises.

Widget Description

This widget provides functionality that allows users to create and display routes on a pre-drawn map of the user’s building. The widget is installed and operates on special terminals with screens located inside the designated building.

All data on maps and routes are embedded within the widget. Users will need to provide maps and describe routes for the widget to function properly.

In standby mode, the widget displays static content in the form of an image with a map of the building. This map will not show any rooms until a route is generated.
After selecting a specific point in the building, the widget will plot the route and display it by dividing the screen into several zones. There are three display zones in total:

1. Main Zone - This zone displays the general floor plan of the building (located at the center of the screen).
2. Intermediate Zone - This zone shows the route through an intermediate floor leading to the floor where the destination point is located (positioned at the lower left corner of the screen).
3. Final Zone - This zone displays the destination point of the route (positioned at the lower right corner of the screen).

A red line with an arrow indicator will be used as the route display element across all zones. The intermediate and final zones will display labels with actions that direct users on how to reach the final point.

If the destination point is on the same floor as the terminal, the number of display zones may decrease to two, as the intermediate floor zone is removed.

Users can also select a point from the widget’s preset options or use the on-screen keyboard to enter the name of the desired location on the map.

Adding the Widget to the Personal Account

To add this widget to their personal account, the user needs to request the widget from a technical support specialist. It will be provided as a ".zip" archive.

Example of the widget in ".zip" archive format

Next, the user must log in to their personal account and navigate to the "Content" section.

Example of the "Content" section display in the personal account

In the "Content" section, the user needs to drag and drop the widget from local storage into the "Content" section. After the widget is added to the personal account, it will appear in the content list.

Example of dragging and dropping the widget

If the user has a lot of different content in the personal account, they can use the sorting function and select the content type "Widget". Using this functionality, they can view all widgets added to the personal account.

Accessing the Widget Settings

After adding the widget to the personal account, the user can open it by double-clicking on the widget icon. This action will open the widget's main page. To access the widget settings, the user needs to click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

Configurable Parameters in the Widget

After clicking on the gear icon, the user will be taken to the widget settings page. The list of configurable parameters includes:

1. Target Tag - This parameter specifies the entrance/room where the terminal is located. This must be filled in correctly so the widget can understand the terminal's location relative to the building plan.
2. Session Duration - The active kiosk usage mode duration (measured in seconds), after which the widget goes into standby mode.
3. Quick Search Room List - Using the star icon, the user can choose which rooms to display under the search bar on the device screen. The star has two states: first - unfilled, meaning it is not added to the quick search buttons list; second - filled, meaning it is added to the quick search buttons list.
4. Priority Room Order - By dragging with the mouse within the settings window, users can set the priority and order of buttons for quick location search.

Loading and Downloading Settings

While interacting with the widget settings, users can load and download the widget settings. Each action can be performed via separate icons in the widget interface, located centrally at the bottom of the widget.

After completing all widget settings, the user must first click the "Apply Settings" button at the bottom right. If the settings do not meet the user's requirements, they can reset them to default by clicking the adjacent "Reset" button.

After clicking the apply button, the user should click the "Save" button located at the bottom center of the screen.
