Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for generating an interactive simulation representing one or more assets based on one or more asset records. Based on information from asset records stored at a database system of a cloud-based computing system, an asset simulator module, executed at a cloud-based computing system, can generate one or more simulated representations of the assets. A simulator application executed at the cloud-based computing system can augment the simulated representations of the assets with (at least) additional information from the asset records stored in the database system, and generate a user interface that presents an interactive simulation of the assets. The user interface can include the simulated representations of the assets with the additional information from the asset records stored in the database system.

Claims (29)

1. A method for generating an interactive simulation for one or more assets, the method comprising:

generating one or more simulated representations associated with the one or more assets, wherein an asset of the one or more assets is a physical object located at a location within an environment;

augmenting the one or more simulated representations with supplemental information from an external source; and

generating a user interface that presents the interactive simulation of the one or more assets that comprises the one or more simulated representations associated with the one or more assets with the supplemental information, wherein user interaction with the asset of the one or more assets within the user interface triggers an action associated with a workflow, wherein generating the user interface comprises providing augmented reality at a display that presents the interactive simulation comprising the supplemental information overlaid on top of the environment.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the workflow comprises business logic that evaluates a record associated with the asset at a cloud-based computing system to automate the action at the cloud-based computing system.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the one or more simulated representations comprises providing indication of a possible interaction with the asset within the environment.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the user interface comprises generating the user interface on a head-mounted display.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user interface comprises augmented reality presenting the supplemental information overlaid on top of the environment.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user interface comprises indication of a possible interaction with the asset within the environment.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the action comprises an automated action with respect to a record associated with the asset at a cloud-based computing system using information that is indicative of the user interaction with the asset.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the action comprises generation of at least one of a notification, an alerts and a warning.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein augmenting the one or more simulated representations comprises generating, via an augmented reality module, the user interface that presents an augmented simulation with the one or more simulated representations associated with the one or more assets along with the supplemental information that supplements or augments the one or more simulated representations associated with the one or more assets, wherein the supplemental information is extracted from a record stored at the external source.

10. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

generate one or more simulated representations associated with one or more assets, wherein an asset of the one or more assets is a physical object located at a location within an environment;

augment the one or more simulated representations with supplemental information from an external source; and

generate a user interface that presents an interactive simulation of the one or more assets that comprises the one or more simulated representations associated with the one or more assets with the supplemental information, wherein user interaction with the asset of the one or more assets within the user interface triggers an action associated with a workflow, wherein generating the user interface comprises providing augmented reality at a display that presents the interactive simulation comprising the supplemental information overlaid on top of the environment.

11. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the workflow comprises business logic that evaluates a record associated with the asset at a cloud-based computing system to automate the action at the cloud-based computing system.

12. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein generating the one or more simulated representations comprises providing indication of a possible interaction with the asset within the environment.

13. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein generating the user interface comprises generating the user interface on a head-mounted display.

14. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the user interface comprises augmented reality presenting the supplemental information overlaid on top of the environment.

15. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the user interface comprises indication of a possible interaction with the asset within the environment.

16. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the action comprises an automated action with respect to a record associated with the asset at a cloud-based computing system using information that is indicative of the user interaction with the asset.

17. The at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the action comprises generation of at least one of a notification, an alerts and a warning.

18. A system comprising:

at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores processor-readable instructions; and

at least one processor, coupled to the at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, to execute the processor-readable instructions to:

generate one or more simulated representations associated with one or more assets, wherein an asset of the one or more assets is a physical object located at a location within an environment;

augment the one or more simulated representations with supplemental information from an external source; and

generate a user interface that presents an interactive simulation of the one or more assets that comprises the one or more simulated representations associated with the one or more assets with the supplemental information, wherein user interaction with the asset of the one or more assets within the user interface triggers an action associated with a workflow, wherein generating the user interface comprises providing augmented reality at a display that presents the interactive simulation comprising the supplemental information overlaid on top of the environment.
