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 method for managing computing systems utilizing augmented reality using a processor, comprising:
capturing an environmental input via a capture device;
identifying a target device in the captured environmental input;
comparing the target device in the captured environmental input to a model of the target device;
recognizing, in real-time, a status condition of the target device based on the comparison; and
determining if 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:
a type of error condition is recognized,
a cause of the error condition is queried,
the cause and type of error condition, along with troubleshooting instructions are returned, and
the cause, type and troubleshooting instructions are displayed.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the target device comprises identifying the target device via one of a bar code, a radio frequency identifier, and a position of the target device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises a display coupled to the processor, the method further comprising displaying, via the display, the information regarding the status condition.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying the information regarding the status condition comprises displaying the troubleshooting instructions if the status condition is the error condition.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein capturing the environmental input comprises capturing the environmental input utilizing one of an audio capturing device, a visual capturing device, and a tactile capturing device.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein capturing the environmental input comprises capturing a static visual image of the target device utilizing a camera.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein capturing the environmental input comprises capturing video images of the target device utilizing a camera.
