INTERACTIVE AUGMENTED REALITY FOR MEMORY DIMM INSTALLATION

摘要

Digital images are captured of uninstalled memory modules, an identifying portion of a target computer system, and empty memory module sockets within the target computer system. The captured digital images are analyzed to identify each of the uninstalled memory modules and the number and type of empty memory module sockets. A predetermined set of installation rules associated with the target computer system are used to determine a memory module configuration that identifies the uninstalled memory modules to be installed in the empty memory module sockets. Real-time digital video of a user installing each of the memory modules in one of the empty memory module sockets is captured and displayed on a display device. The displayed digital video is augmented with a computer generated graphic element or audio identifying which empty memory module socket should receive a particular memory module. Other pluggable components may be similarly configured and installed.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
using a camera to capture digital images of a plurality of uninstalled memory modules and a target computer system including one or more empty memory module sockets within the target computer system; analyzing the captured digital images to identify each of the uninstalled memory modules, the computer system, and the number and type of empty memory module sockets; obtaining a predetermined set of installation rules associated with the target computer system; applying the predetermined installation rules to determine at least one memory module configuration that identifies one or more of the uninstalled memory modules to be installed in the one or more empty memory module sockets; using the camera to capture real-time digital video of a user installing each of the one or more memory modules in one of the empty memory module sockets; and displaying the real-time digital video on a display device and augmenting the digital video with a computer generated graphic element, wherein the computer generated graphic element provides a visual identification of which one of the empty memory module sockets should receive a selected one of the memory modules.
