Abstract

Various embodiments described herein relate to real-time proximity-based contextual information for an industrial asset. In this regard, a request to establish a remote collaboration environment associated with an industrial asset in an industrial environment is received. The request includes an asset identifier provided by a mobile computing device proximate to the industrial asset. The request also includes location data associated with the industrial asset. In response to the request, contextual data for an industrial task associated with the industrial asset is determined based on the asset identifier and the location data. Furthermore, one or more interactive media elements associated with the industrial task is generated based on the contextual data. The one or more interactive media elements are communicated via the remote collaboration environment.

Core Innovation

The invention uses a mobile computing device to generate a request to establish a remote collaboration environment that communicates one or more interactive media elements associated with an industrial asset in an industrial environment. The request comprises an asset identifier provided by the mobile computing device proximate to the industrial asset and location data associated with the industrial asset, and the mobile computing device receives the interactive media elements based on a bandwidth condition of the mobile computing device.

The interactive media elements are dynamically generated based on contextual data determined using an ontological model. The ontological model defines relationships between the industrial assets and one or more operational dependencies between one or more other industrial assets, and the mobile computing device displays the interactive media elements associated with the industrial task for the industrial asset.

The mobile computing device selects a remote computing device for the remote collaboration environment based on at least one of the asset identifier and the location data. The selected remote computing device facilitates remote control of a camera of the mobile computing device during a remote collaboration session associated with the remote collaboration environment.

A wearable device is also provided with analogous functionality, generating a request with the asset identifier and location data received from a mobile computing device, receiving dynamically generated interactive media elements based on contextual data determined using an ontological model, and displaying the interactive media elements for the industrial task. The wearable device selects a remote computing device to facilitate remote control of a camera of the mobile computing device during the remote collaboration session.

Claims Coverage

The independent claims are directed to a mobile computing device, a wearable device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Each independent claim centers on a request/response remote collaboration environment that communicates dynamically generated interactive media elements based on contextual data determined using an ontological model, and that uses asset identifier and location data to select a remote computing device for remote camera control.

Remote collaboration request with asset identifier and location data

Generate a request to establish a remote collaboration environment that communicates one or more interactive media elements associated with an industrial asset in an industrial environment, where the request comprises an asset identifier provided by the mobile computing device proximate to the industrial asset and location data associated with the industrial asset.

Bandwidth-conditioned reception of dynamically generated interactive media using ontological model

Receive the one or more interactive media elements based on a bandwidth condition of the mobile computing device, where the one or more interactive media elements are dynamically generated based on the contextual data determined using an ontological model configured to define relationships between the industrial asset and one or more operational dependencies between one or more other industrial assets.

Display interactive media generated from contextual data based on identifier and location

Display the one or more interactive media elements associated with the industrial task for the industrial asset, where the contextual data is generated based on the asset identifier and the location data.

Select remote computing device for remote control of camera

Select a remote computing device for the remote collaboration environment based on at least one of the asset identifier and the location data, where the remote computing device facilitates remote control of a camera of the mobile computing device during a remote collaboration session associated with the remote collaboration environment.

Wearable request and display of bandwidth-conditioned interactive media with ontological model

Generate a request to establish a remote collaboration environment that communicates one or more interactive media elements associated with an industrial asset in an industrial environment, where the request comprises an asset identifier provided by a mobile computing device proximate to the industrial asset and location data associated with the industrial asset, receive the one or more interactive media elements based on a bandwidth condition of the mobile computing device, and dynamically generate the one or more interactive media elements based on contextual data determined using an ontological model configured to define relationships between the industrial asset and one or more operational dependencies between one or more other industrial assets; display the one or more interactive media elements associated with the industrial task for the industrial asset, where the contextual data is generated based on the asset identifier and the location data.

Wearable selection of remote computing device to facilitate remote camera control

Select a remote computing device for the remote collaboration environment based on at least one of the asset identifier and the location data, where the remote computing device facilitates remote control of a camera of the mobile computing device during a remote collaboration session associated with the remote collaboration environment.

Non-transitory storage medium programs for remote collaboration environment with ontological model and camera control

Generate a request to establish a remote collaboration environment that communicates one or more interactive media elements associated with an industrial asset in an industrial environment, where the request comprises an asset identifier provided by a mobile computing device proximate to the industrial asset and location data associated with the industrial asset; receive the one or more interactive media elements based on a bandwidth condition of the mobile computing device, where the one or more interactive media elements are dynamically generated based on the contextual data determined using an ontological model configured to define relationships between the industrial asset and one or more operational dependencies between one or more other industrial assets; display the one or more interactive media elements associated with the industrial task for the industrial asset, where the contextual data is generated based on the asset identifier and the location data; and select a remote computing device for the remote collaboration environment based on at least one of the asset identifier and the location data, where the remote computing device facilitates remote control of a camera of the mobile computing device during a remote collaboration session associated with the remote collaboration environment.

Across the independent claims, the key claim coverage lies in establishing a remote collaboration environment by generating a request that includes an asset identifier and location data, receiving interactive media elements based on bandwidth, dynamically generating those media elements using an ontological model defining relationships and operational dependencies, displaying the media elements for the industrial task, and selecting a remote computing device that facilitates remote control of the camera of the mobile computing device during the collaboration session.
