Mobile device for identifying devices for technical maintenance

摘要

A mobile communication device and a computer program product and method are disclosed for operating the mobile device to identify a technical device for maintenance. A camera component (110) generates image data wherein the image data include an image of the technical device. A location sensor (120) provides data for determining a current location of the mobile phone. A direction sensor (130) provides direction data indicating a view direction of the camera component at the time of generating the image data. A data processing component (140) computes spatial coordinates of an environment of the current location of the mobile phone. A telecommunication component (160) submits to a technical device database a query for technical devices located in the environment, and further receives from the technical device database, in response to the query, maintenance data for technical devices having location data matching the query. The data processing component (140) associates the technical device with the image of the technical device using direction data provided by the direction sensor wherein the direction data indicates a view direction of the camera component at the time of generating the image data. An output component (170) displays received maintenance data together with the image data wherein the received maintenance data is arranged to indicate that the received maintenance data relate to the technical device.
