Abstract
A system providing connectivity management is provided. The system comprises: a content management server configured to manage connectivity for a network; one or more central controllers configured to collect connectivity information for at least a portion of the network for use by the content management server; and at least one outlet having one or more ports for receiving one or more plugs, wherein connectivity information is communicated between the outlet and the central controller through one or more wireless communication interface.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, at an augmented reality device, communications data configured to be used to form a communications link with an outlet;
- forming, using the communications data, the communications link between the outlet and the augmented reality device;
- obtaining status data about at least one of:
- the outlet, at least one receptacle of the outlet, and at least one cable inserted into a receptacle of the outlet;
- using the augmented reality device, rendering an augmented reality overlay that at least one of:
- includes the status data and is indicative of the status data;
- and
- displaying or projecting, with the augmented reality device, the augmented reality overlay at least one of over an image of at least one real object and by the image of the at least one real object.
A program product comprising a non-transitory processor readable storage medium on which program instructions are embodied, wherein the program instructions are configured, when executed by at least one programmable processor, to cause the at least one programmable processor to:
- obtain, at an augmented reality device, communications data configured to be used to form a communications link with an outlet;
- form, using the communications data, the communications link between the outlet and the augmented reality device;
- obtain status data about at least one of:
- the outlet, at least one receptacle of the outlet, and at least one cable inserted into a receptacle of the outlet;
- and
- cause the augmented reality device to render an augmented reality overlay that at least one of:
- includes the status data and is indicative of the status data.
