Comparing Planned and Actual Asset Locations

摘要

A computing device display shows an actual location of an imaging device as configured in a computing system environment. An acceptance zone about a planned location of the imaging device visually conveys to a user whether or not the imaging device exists within a predetermined distance. If not, service level or other agreements specifying the location of the imaging device can be adjusted or the imaging device can be moved into compliance with the agreements. Alerts can be broadcast upon non-compliance or if the imaging device changes location. The display can be configured to show the imaging device with geospatial coordinates, within a building, superimposed on a map, such as a building floor plan, etc. Other embodiments note computing environments, deltas between locations, and various administrative tools.

主权项

1. A method of comparing a planned location of an imaging device to an actual location of the imaging device as installed in a computing system environment, comprising:
determining the actual location of the imaging device in the computing system environment; generating a map on a computing device display showing the actual location of the imaging device; showing on said map the planned location of the imaging device; and providing on the computing device display a basis for the planned location of the imaging device so that compliance can be determined regarding whether the actual location of the imaging device falls within the basis for the planned location.
