Augmented Reality for Supporting Intervention of a Network Apparatus by a Human Operator

摘要

A system for supporting an intervention to be carried out by a human operator on a network apparatus of a communication network is provided. The system includes a terminal device provided with a personal proxy, which is part of the equipment of the human operator. The personal proxy provides to the human operator instructions to carry out the various operations of the intervention, by displaying augmented reality elements overwritten to a live view of the network apparatus. Then, upon execution of each instruction, the personal proxy cooperates with the network management system for checking whether the instruction was properly executed, and reports the outcome to the operator by displaying further augmented reality elements overwritten to the live view of the network apparatus.

1. A system for supporting an intervention to be carried out by a human operator on a network apparatus of a communication network, said system comprising a terminal device provided in equipment of said human operator, said terminal device being provided with a personal proxy, wherein said personal proxy is configured to:
provide to said human operator at least one instruction to carry out at least one operation of said intervention, by displaying at least one augmented reality element overwritten to a live view of at least a portion of said network apparatus; cooperate with a network management system of said communication network for checking whether said at least one instruction was properly executed; and report an outcome of said checking to said operator by displaying at least one further augmented reality element overwritten to said live view of at least a portion of said network apparatus.
