Abstract

A stationary data processing device communicates with a mobile data processing device, such as a client in the field of augmented-reality techniques in an automation system, or a production machine, or a machine tool or parts thereof. The stationary data processing device includes a server for communication with a browser on the mobile data processing device; an information broker for providing context-related information; legacy systems that contain and store information; and an information model that represents the information space and that allows navigation within the information and access to the information by the information broker independent of the legacy systems. The information broker utilizes the actual context, especially location, work situation, EA devices used and the information model.

Claims12

Dependent claims

A system for communication between a mobile data processing device (1), and a fixed data processing device (3), where the fixed data processing device (3) features the following components:

a server (8) for communication with the mobile data processing device (1),
an information broker (5) for providing information to suit the situation, where the information broker (5) uses the current context, particularly location, work situation, input and output units (6) used and an information model (4),
the information model (4) in question as a representation of the information space and to ensure navigation within the information and access to the information independently of downstream legacy systems for the information broker (5), and
legacy systems (7) which contain and store information, and
where the mobile data processing device (1) features a browser (2) for the purpose of communication with the fixed data processing device (3),
characterized
in that the mobile data processing device (1) is provided as a client for using augmented reality technologies in an automation system and/or in a production machine and/or machine tool and/or parts thereof.
