Abstract
Methods and Systems for training a user regarding controlling a device. Through these methods and systems a user may remotely access a device in order to perform an assignment or task designed to train the user in the operation of the device. The user is able to access the devices through a user computer that is remotely connected to a pod controller. This connection may traverse a Internet or Intra-net, or it may be a direct connection. The pod controller receives device control information sent from the user and translates it so it can be directly fed into the device, thus, providing the user with actual control over the device.
Claims56
A method for training a user, the method comprising:
- receiving control information having at least one training instruction regarding at least one task to be performed as part of a training exercise;
- reassigning at least one device from a second set of one or more devices to a first set of one or more devices based upon requirements of the training exercise;
- managing a set of devices in the first set required to perform the training exercise;
- and
- directing one or more of the required devices to execute the at least one training instruction.
A system for training users, the system comprising:
- a device controller connected to one or more client machines via a network, the device controller receiving control information from the one or more client machines, the control information having at least one training instruction regarding at least one task to be performed as part of a training exercise;
- an infrastructure control module that reassigns at least one device from a second set of one or more devices to a first set of one or more devices based upon requirements of the training exercise;
- and
- a control system that manages a set of devices in the first set required to perform the training exercise, the control system directing the one or more required devices to execute the at least one training instruction.
A system for training users, the system comprising:
- a device controller including:
- receiving means for receiving control information, the control information having at least one training instruction from one or more client machines regarding at least one task to be performed as part of a training exercise;
- reassigning means for reassigning at least one device from a second set of one or more devices to a first set of one or more devices based upon requirements of the training exercise;
- and
- control means for managing a set of devices in the first set required to perform the training exercise, the control means directing the one or more required devices to execute the at least one training instruction.
A system comprising:
- a control system that receives control information having at least one training instruction regarding at least one task to be performed as part of a training exercise, the control system managing one or more devices in a first set of one or more devices which are required to perform the training exercise, the control system directing a set of the one or more required devices to execute the at least one training instruction;
- and
- an infrastructure control module that reassigns at least one device from a second set of one or more devices to the set of one or more required devices based upon requirements of the training exercise.
A method comprising:
- receiving control information having at least one training instruction regarding at least one task to be performed as part of a training exercise;
- managing one or more devices in the first set of one or more devices which are required to perform the training exercise;
- directing a set of the one or more required devices to execute the at least one training instruction;
- and
- reassigning at least one device from a second set of one or more devices to the set of the one or more required devices based upon requirements of the training exercise.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform:
- receiving control information having at least one training instruction regarding at least one task to be performed as part of a training exercise;
- managing one or more devices in the first set of one or more devices which are required to perform the training exercise;
- directing a set of the one or more required devices to execute the at least one training instruction;
- and
- reassigning at least one device from a second set of one or more devices to the set of the one or more required devices based upon requirements of the training exercise.
