RETRIEVING PRODUCT INFORMATION FROM EMBEDDED SENSORS VIA MOBILE DEVICE VIDEO ANALYSIS

摘要

A system for accessing product information from embedded sensors via mobile device video analysis is disclosed. The system includes a processing device configured for analyzing a video stream of the surrounding environment captured on a mobile device. At least one product that has one or more embedded sensors associated therewith is identified within the surrounding environment. The system retrieves information associated with the one or more products from the one or more embedded sensors. Information retrieved, or information derived from the information retrieved, from the embedded sensors is presented to the user via a display of the video stream on the mobile device.

主权项

1. A computer program product for accessing product information from embedded sensors, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing a computer to:
analyze a real-time video stream representing the surrounding environment captured on a mobile device; identify one or more products within the video stream that has one or more embedded sensors associated therewith; retrieve information associated with the one or more products from the one or more embedded sensors; determine from the retrieved information critical information associated with the one or more products, wherein the critical information comprises information regarding a product default or an impending product default, wherein the product default is a mechanical default requiring maintenance; present, via a display of the video stream on the mobile device, the information retrieved, or information derived from the information retrieved, from the one or more embedded sensors, wherein presenting the retrieved or derived information comprises superimposing the retrieved or derived information over the video stream of the one or more products; and alert, via the mobile device, the user to the critical information associated with the one or more products.
