Systems and methods for managing computing systems utilizing augmented reality
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for managing computing systems are provided. One system includes a capture device for capturing environmental inputs, memory storing code comprising a management module, and a processor. The processor, when executing the code comprising the management module, is configured to perform the method below. One method includes capturing an environmental input, identifying a target device in the captured environmental input, and comparing the target device in the captured environmental input to a model of the target device. The method further includes recognizing, in real-time, a status condition of the target device based on the comparison and providing a user with troubleshooting data if the status condition is an error condition. Also provided are physical computer storage mediums including a computer program product for performing the above method.
1. A system for managing computing systems utilizing augmented reality, comprising:

capture an environmental input via the capture device,
identify a target device in the captured environmental input,
compare the target device in the captured environmental input to a model of the target device,
recognize, in real-time, a status condition of the target device based on the comparison,
determine the target device is functioning properly if the target device and the model of the target device match, wherein if the target device is not functioning properly:
recognizing a type of error condition,
querying a cause of the error condition,
receiving the cause and the error conditions along with troubleshooting instructions from the network, and
displaying the cause of the error condition and the troubleshooting instructions received from the network, and
providing an indication that the target device is functioning properly if the target device is functioning properly.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the capture device is one of an audio capturing device, a visual capturing device, and a tactile capturing device.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the capture device is a camera and the environmental input is a visual image.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein, when identifying the target device, the processor is configured to identify the target device via one of a bar code, a radio frequency identifier, and a position of the target device.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a display coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is further configured to display, via the display, the information regarding the status condition.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to display, via the display, the troubleshooting data if the status condition is the error condition.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system comprises one of a cellular telephone, a laptop computing device, and a tablet computing device.
8. A physical computer storage medium comprising a computer program product method for managing computing systems utilizing a system including a capture device for capturing environmental inputs, memory storing code comprising a management module, and a processor coupled to the capture device and the memory, the physical computer storage medium comprising:
computer code for capturing an environmental input via the capture device;
computer code for identifying, via the processor, a target device in the captured environmental input;
computer code for comparing, by the processor, the target device in the captured environmental input to a model of the target device;
computer code for recognizing, by the processor in real-time, a status condition of the target device based on the comparison;
a computer code for determining the target device is functioning properly if the target device and the model of the target device match, wherein if the target device is not functioning properly:
recognizing a type of error condition,
querying a cause of the error condition,
receiving the cause and the error conditions along with troubleshooting instructions from the network, and
displaying the cause of the error condition and the troubleshooting instructions received from the network, and
a computer code for providing an indication that the target device is functioning properly if the target device is functioning properly.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the physical computer storage medium for identifying the target device comprises computer code for identifying the target device via one of a bar code, a radio frequency identifier, and a position of the target device.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein physical computer storage medium further comprises a display coupled to the processor, the physical computer storage medium further comprising computer code for displaying, via the display, the information regarding the status condition.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the physical computer storage medium for displaying the information regarding the status condition comprises computer code for displaying the troubleshooting data if the status condition is the error condition.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the physical computer storage medium for capturing the environmental input comprises computer code for capturing the environmental input utilizing one of an audio capturing device, a visual capturing device, and a tactile capturing device.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the physical computer storage medium for capturing the environmental input comprises one of computer code for capturing a static visual image of the target device utilizing a camera and computer code for capturing video images of the target device utilizing the camera.
