  • Patent number: 11599742
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for creating image recognition models, which can be operated on smartphone or similar device. The smartphone captures images of hardware in a data center. The captured images are processed to produce a full set of annotated images. The full set is minimized to a simplified set and trained to create a mobile image recognition model implemented by the smartphone or similar device.

  • Patent number: 11270459
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for augmented reality detection of enterprise systems in a data center. An augmented reality view is captured of an enterprise system and objects of the enterprise system. Significant areas are detected of the enterprise. In the captured augmented reality view bounding boxes are added around the significant areas. Determination is performed of three-dimensional orientation of the significant areas. Depth of the signification areas is determined based on the three-dimensional orientation.

  • Patent number: 10972361
    Abstract: An information handling system for managing equipment in a datacenter includes a display, a wireless communication interface, and an imaging system configured to capture image data from within a field of view of the imaging system. The information handling system shows the image data on the display, and provides an augmented reality overlay on the display over the image data. The augmented reality overlay locates an element of datacenter equipment that needs to be serviced. The information handling system further determines that the element is within the field of view, establishes a wireless communication link with the element via the wireless communication interface in response to determining that the element is within the field of view, and receives an instruction to service the element from a remote service system in response to establishing the wireless communication link.

  • Patent number: 10966342
    Abstract: An information handling system for identifying equipment in a datacenter establishes a wireless communication link with an element of datacenter equipment, and receives identification information from the element. The identification information distinguishes the element from other elements of the datacenter equipment that are visibly indistinct from the first element. The information handling system further captures image data when the field of view of an imaging system includes the element, displays the image data on a display, matches a portion of the image data with an image object associated with the first and second elements, determines an identity of the element based upon the identification information and the image object, and displays an augmented reality overlay on the display over the image data. The augmented reality overlay co-locates the image object with the portion and includes the identity over the portion.

  • Patent number: 10880163
    Abstract: An information handling system for managing equipment in a datacenter captures image data when a field of view of an imaging system includes a server rack, determines a bounding box of the server rack based upon the image data, determines slot locations in the bounding box, establishes a wireless communication link with an element of datacenter equipment via the wireless communication interface, determines an identity of the element based upon an identification message sent to the element via the wireless communication link, determines one of the slot locations based upon the identity, receives configuration information from the element via the wireless communication link, and displays an augmented reality overlay on the display over the image data. The augmented reality overlay co-locates a first image object associated with the first element with the one slot location and includes the first configuration information.

  • Publication number: 20200250863
    Abstract: An information handling system for managing equipment in a datacenter captures image data when a field of view of an imaging system includes a server rack, establishes a wireless communication link with a first element of the datacenter equipment via the wireless communication interface, receives information defining a first network connection between the first element and a second element of the datacenter equipment based upon the establishing of the wireless communication link, and displays an augmented reality overlay on the display over the image data. The augmented reality overlay identifies a first network connector of the first element. The first network connector is first connector of the first network connection.
