Abstract

An example system can receive information regarding an object, and provide navigation to the object. The object can be identified based on the received information. Information regarding an operating parameter about the object can be received, and whether the operating parameter of the object is within a predefined operating range based on the identity of the object and the received operating parameter information can be determined and communicated.

Claims (44)

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to:

receive a schedule for inspecting a plurality of objects;

receive location information regarding each of the plurality of objects;

provide navigation to each of the plurality of objects based on the schedule and the location information regarding each of the plurality of objects;

receive identification information about a particular object of the plurality of objects;

identify the particular object based on the received identification information;

receive information regarding an operating parameter about the particular object;

determine if the operating parameter of the particular object is within a predefined operating range based on the identity of the particular object and the received operating parameter information;

communicate whether the operating parameter information is within or outside the predefined operating range for the object.

2. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the information regarding the operating parameter of the particular object is infrared information.

3. The medium of claim 2 , including instructions to communicate a predefined temperature range for the object to be inspected.

4. The medium of claim 2 , wherein the instructions are executable to display the sensed temperature information and a predefined operating temperature range for the object simultaneously.

5. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the information regarding the operating parameter of the particular object is sound information.

6. The medium of claim 1 , wherein navigation to each of the plurality of objects is presented step-by-step.

7. The medium of claim 1 , including instructions to identify the object based on geo fencing information.

8. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to identify the object based on a navigation package.

9. The medium of claim 1 , further including instructions to:

determine the object to be inspected via a schedule package;

navigate to the object to be inspected automatically; and

identify the object from optical information regarding the object.

10. A method for context based object identification comprising:

receiving a schedule for inspecting a plurality of objects;

receiving location information regarding each of the plurality of objects;

providing navigation to each of the plurality of objects based on the schedule and the location information regarding each of the plurality of objects;

receiving identification information about a particular object of the plurality of objects;

identifying the particular object based on the received identification information;

receiving information regarding an operating parameter about the particular object;

determining if the operating parameter of the particular object is within a predefined operating range based on the identity of the particular object and the received operating parameter information; and

communicating whether the operating parameter information is within or outside a predefined operating range for the object.

11. The method of 10 , further comprising identifying the object based on optical information relating to the object.

12. The method of 10 , further comprising receiving predefined operating range information about the object for comparison to the sensed information.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein communicating whether or not the object is within or outside a predefined operating range comprises forwarding whether or not the object is within or outside a predefined temperature range via a communication network.

14. A system, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:

receive a schedule for inspecting a plurality of objects;

receive location information regarding each of the plurality of objects;

provide navigation to each of the plurality of objects based on the schedule and the location information regarding each of the plurality of objects;

receive identification information about a particular object of the plurality of objects;

identify the particular object based on the received identification information;

receive information regarding an operating parameter about the particular object;

determine if the operating parameter of the particular object is within a predefined operating range based on the identity of the particular object and the received operating parameter information; and

communicate whether the operating parameter information is within or outside the predefined operating range for the object.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the system causes the information regarding the comparison of the sensed information and the operating parameter information to be cached for later retrieval.
