The ornamental design which is claimed is shown in solid lines in
the drawings.
While the accompanying drawings illustrate one or more exemplary
embodiments, it should be understood that according to other
exemplary embodiments that should be considered to be within the
possession of the inventors of the present application at the time
this application is being filed, it is contemplated that any
illustrated solid lines (or portions thereof) may be converted to
broken lines and that any illustrated broken lines (or portions
thereof) may be converted to solid lines so as to claim or disclaim
portions, components, or sub-components of the designs shown. The
inventors anticipate that the invention can be any part, portion,
element, or combination of element of the depicted design. It is
further contemplated that shading may be added or removed to claim
or disclaim the corresponding surfaces. Color and texture may or
may not form part of the claimed design without departing from the
design disclosed.
Some features of the ornamental design relate to a graphical user
interface. The user interface may be displayed on a variety of
different electronic displays including but not limited to
electronic thermostats, communications terminals, desktop
computers, laptop computers, tablets, smartphones, portable
electronic devices, smart phones, and/or other types of electronic
displays. The user interface may be displayed at a variety of
different resolutions and sizes and certain components of the
design may be stretched or shrunk depending on the resolution and
size variables. The user interface may transition between the
images shown in FIGS. 1-13. The process or period in which one
image transitions to another image forms no part of the claimed
design.
The broken lines in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only
and form no part of the claimed design. Broken lines formed by
equal length dashes show unclaimed portions of the design. The
particular text of the user interfaces is intended to be shown in
broken lines and unclaimed. Broken lines formed of unequal length
dashes (i.e., dash-dot) show boundaries between claimed and
unclaimed portions of the design.
