Abstract
There is provided techniques for improved visualization of wireless devices in a communication network. The techniques include receiving, via an identification device, real-time display data, determining, via the identification device, a location of a network device and displaying, via a display of the identification device, the real-time display data and an indication of the location of the network device relative to the real-time display data.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, via an identification device, real-time display data;
- determining, via the identification device, a location of a wireless device connected to a communication network;
- and
- displaying, via a display of the identification device, the real-time display data and an indication of the location of the wireless device relative to the real-time display data.
An apparatus, comprising:
- one or more network interfaces adapted to communicate in a communication network;
- a display;
- imaging circuitry;
- a processor adapted to execute one or more processes;
- and
- a memory configured to store a process executable by the processor, the process when executed operable to:
- receive, via the imaging circuitry, real-time display data;
- determine a location of a wireless device;
- and
- display, via the display, the real-time display data and an indication of the location of the wireless device relative to the real-time display data.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having software encoded thereon, the software, when executed by a processor, operable to:
- receive real-time display data from an image sensor of an identification device;
- determine a location of a Wifi device;
- and
- display the real-time display data and an indication of the location of the Wifi device to a display of the identification device relative to the real-time display data.
