Service coverage identification using augmented reality

摘要

Facilitating service coverage identification using augmented reality is contemplated. The service coverage information may relate to wireless signaling metrics collected for wireless access points. A reality view captured with a mobile device to reflect an area proximate the access points may augmented with the service coverage information such that the resulting augmented reality view identifies variances or other parameters of the service coverage information relative to the mobile device.

主权项

1. A method of representing wireless service coverage information for one or more access points configured to facilitate wireless signaling, the method comprising:
determining a reality view relative to one or more of the access points; determining service coverage information for the plurality of access points; visually augmenting the reality view with the service coverage information to generate an augmented reality view; determining the service coverage information to include signal strength information, the signal strength information spatially relating wireless signaling strength of each access point; determining a focus perimeter sufficient for spatially relating the plurality of access points to the reality view, a length of the focus perimeter from a source of the reality view defining an area proximate to the reality view; selecting the signal strength information visually represented within the augmented reality view to correspond with the access points within the area such that more access points, and thereby more signaling strength information, is visually represented when the length is longer than when the length is shorter; and adjusting a viewing angle of the reality view shown in the augmented reality view in proportion to the length of the focus perimeter such that the viewing angle is wider when the length is longer and narrower when the length is shorter, the viewing angle defining a percentage of the reality view shown within the augment reality view such that a greater percentage of the reality view is shown when the length is longer than when the length is shorter.
