SYSTEM AND METHOD PROVIDING AUTOMATED WELDING NOTIFICATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method that provide for automated notification to entities (e.g., individuals, groups of individuals, computers, systems ) of welding system related information. The invention provides for determination of events and/or conditions that warrant automatic notification thereof to relevant entities. The notifications are conveyedvia a most appropriate subset of available communication modes available. The system identifies most appropriate entities to receive the notification about the event, and optionally determines or infers state of the entities and conveys the notification via a communication mode (e.g., text, audio, graphical, video, combination thereof ) and modality (e.g., wireless, Ethernet, cable, optical, telephone, e-mail, voicemail, pager, ghosting, instant messaging ) that is most suitable given context/state of the event and entities.
