Systems and methods for augmented reality and for transferring sessions between devices

A system, comprising:

• a host device;
• and
• a first device communicatively coupled to the host device,
• wherein the first device captures a live view of a vehicle assembly during a session established between the host device and the first device,
• wherein the host device identifies the vehicle assembly from an image of the live view of the vehicle assembly, and
• wherein the first device:
• provides, while displaying the live view of the identified vehicle assembly on a display of the first device, a user with a menu on the display including options to inspect, repair, and lookup components of the identified vehicle assembly;
• receives a first user selection that selects an option from the options;
• renders, to the display and in response to the first user selection, the live view of the identified vehicle assembly augmented with floating icons positioned over or near the components of the identified vehicle assembly, wherein each floating icon is associated with one of the components of the identified vehicle assembly, wherein the floating icons maintain their positions over or near the components of the identified vehicle assembly on the display as the live view changes with movement of the first device, and wherein the live view on the display is augmented with a new floating icon over or near an additional component of the identified vehicle assembly that becomes visible on the display due to the movement of the first device;
• receives a second user selection that selects a floating icon associated with a component of the identified vehicle assembly;
• and
• provides, on the display and in response to the second user selection, information regarding the component that is relevant to the selected option,
• wherein the information regarding the component includes inspection information for inspecting the component when the selected option is to inspect the component, and
• wherein, in response to the second user selection and when the selected option is to inspect the component, the first device:
• renders, to the display, the floating icons with a same first color;
• renders, to the display, a set of inspection results buttons for the component that enable user input to indicate whether the component has not been inspected and whether replacement of the component is suggested, not needed, or needed;
• renders, to the display and in response to a third user selection that selects one of the inspection results buttons for the component, the floating icon associated with the component with a second color different from the first color, the second color being dependent on the selected inspection result button;
• and
• stores an indication of the selected inspection result button in a memory of the host device.

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including instructions that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• capture, during a session of an application, live view of a vehicle assembly;
• identify the vehicle assembly based on an image from the live view of the vehicle assembly;
• provide, while displaying the live view of the identified vehicle assembly on a display of a first device, a user of with a menu including options to inspect, repair, and lookup components of the identified vehicle assembly;
• receive a first user selection that selects an option from the options;
• link information relevant to the selected option to floating icons, wherein the information linked to the floating icons is different for each option of the menu, and wherein each floating icon is associated with one of the components of the identified vehicle assembly;
• render, to the display and in response to the first user selection, the live view of the identified vehicle assembly augmented with the floating icons positioned over or near the components of the identified vehicle assembly, wherein the floating icons maintain their positions over or near the components of the identified vehicle assembly on the display as the live view changes with movement of the first device, and wherein the live view on the display is augmented with a new floating icon over or near an additional component of the identified vehicle assembly that becomes visible on the display due to the movement of the first device;
• receive a second user selection that selects a floating icon associated with a component of the identified vehicle assembly;
• and
• render, to the display and in response to the second user selection, the information that is linked to the floating icon, wherein the information includes inspection information for inspecting the component when the selected option is to inspect the component, and wherein, in response to the second user selection and when the selected option is to inspect the component, the at least one processor:
• renders, to the display, the floating icons with a same first color;
• renders, to the display, a set of inspection results buttons for the component that enable user input to indicate whether the component has not been inspected and whether replacement of the component is suggested, not needed, or needed;
• renders, to the display and in response to a third user selection that selects one of the inspection results buttons for the component, the floating icon associated with the component with a second color different from the first color, the second color being dependent on the selected inspection result button;
• and
• stores an indication of the selected inspection result button in a memory of a host device communicatively coupled to the first device.
