Abstract
Described herein are methods and devices associated with extended reality (XR) headsets for participating in training offered through cellular site field technician training modules. Also described herein are servers and methods for identifying and providing those modules. Based on at least one of a location, an environment type, a cellular site technology, or a minimum level or requirements, a subset of cellular site field technician training modules are identified. A trainee then uses the XR headset to participate in training offered through those cellular site field technician training modules, and a result is reported to the servers.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device at least including or associated with an extended reality (XR) headset, an identification of a subset of cellular site field technician training modules, the cellular site field technician training modules including modules associated with at least one of a location, an environment type, a cellular site technology, or a minimum level or requirements;
- enabling, by the computing device, a trainee using the XR headset to participate in training offered through at least one module of the subset of the cellular site field technician training modules;
- reporting, by the computing device, a result of the participation in the training offered through the at least one module of the subset of the cellular site field technician training modules;
- and
- enabling, by the computing device, the trainee to participate in training offered through another module of the subset of the cellular site field technician training modules or through another subset of the cellular site field technician training modules based on the result of the participation in the training offered through the at least one module of the subset of the cellular site field technician training modules.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a plurality of programming instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request to identify a subset of a cellular site field technician training modules associated with at least one of a location, an environment type, a cellular site technology, or a minimum level or requirements;
- responding with an identification of the subset of cellular site field technician training modules to a computing device associated with an extended reality (XR) headset;
- receiving updated or additional cellular site field technician training modules;
- and
- providing an updated identification of the subset of a cellular site field technician training modules to the computing device associated with the XR headset, the updated identification including identification of the updated or additional cellular site field technician training modules.
A system comprising:
- an extended reality (XR) headset;
- a processor;
- and
- a plurality of programming instructions configured to be executed by the processor, either on the XR headset or on another computing device, to perform operations including;
- receiving an identification of a subset of cellular site field technician training modules, the cellular site field technician training modules including modules associated with at least one of a location, an environment type, a cellular site technology, or a minimum level or requirements;
- enabling a trainee using the XR headset to participate in training offered through at least one module of the subset of the cellular site field technician training modules;
- reporting a result of the participation in the training offered through the at least one module of the subset of the cellular site field technician training modules;
- and
- enabling the trainee to participate in training offered through another module of the subset of the cellular site field technician training modules or through another subset of the cellular site field technician training modules based on the result of the participation in the training offered through the at least one module of the subset of the cellular site field technician training modules.
