PERSONAL MOBILE SIGNAL EGRESS LOGGING AND AUGMENTED REALITY LEAK LOCATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056121 titled 'PERSONAL MOBILE SIGNAL EGRESS LOGGING AND AUGMENTED REALITY LEAK LOCATOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system, method, and computer application for logging signal egress readings from a test instrument during a "walkout" mode. This mode occurs when a technician and the test instrument have left a vehicle and are performing troubleshooting on foot. The system creates a unique troubleshooting and discovery dataset that can reveal problems not previously discoverable using vehicle-mounted test instruments. The dataset can also be used for quality control and other purposes, such as providing a report or mapping of the technician's path during the troubleshooting process. Augmented reality features can be displayed on the technician's mobile device to help locate the source of leaks.

  • The system logs signal egress readings from a test instrument during a "walkout" mode.
  • The technician and test instrument leave the vehicle to perform troubleshooting on foot.
  • A unique troubleshooting and discovery dataset is created.
  • The dataset can reveal problems not previously discoverable using vehicle-mounted test instruments.
  • The dataset can be used for quality control and other purposes, such as providing a report or mapping of the technician's path.
  • Augmented reality features can be displayed on the technician's mobile device to facilitate finding the source of leaks.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: Troubleshooting and diagnosing vehicle issues during walkout mode.
  • Industrial maintenance: Identifying and resolving equipment malfunctions during on-foot troubleshooting.
  • Construction: Detecting and addressing leaks or other issues in buildings or infrastructure.
  • Utilities: Locating and repairing leaks or faults in water, gas, or electrical systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Enables troubleshooting and discovery of problems that may not be detectable using vehicle-mounted test instruments alone.
  • Provides a more comprehensive dataset for analysis and quality control purposes.
  • Facilitates the identification and resolution of leaks or other issues in various industries.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and accuracy in troubleshooting and diagnosing problems.
  • Enhanced ability to locate and address leaks or faults.
  • Increased quality control and data analysis capabilities.
  • Potential cost savings through more effective maintenance and repair processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system, method and computer application to log signal egress (leakage signal) readings from a test instrument during a “walkout” mode where the technician and test instrument have left a vehicle and troubleshooting is being performed on foot. a unique troubleshooting and discovery dataset is created and capable of revealing problems not previously discoverable using vehicle mounted test instruments. in addition, the dataset may be used for quality control and other purposes such as e.g., providing a report or mapping of the path the technician used during the troubleshooting process. augmented reality features may also be displayed on the technician's mobile device to facilitate finding the source of one or more leaks.
