Abstract
An assembling method, an augmented reality system and a computer program product for measuring and/or manufacturing are provided. A targeting object may be placed in a working space. A distance is measured from the measurement device to the targeting object. The distance measurement is transmitted to the augmented reality system, and the augmented reality system determines whether the distance measurement corresponds to a target distance.
Claims15
An assembling method, comprising:
- positioning a measurement device in a working space such that the measurement device has a specified positional relationship to a reference point in the working space;
- determining a position as a determined position of a targeting object in the working space, wherein the determining comprises measuring, by the measurement device, a distance measurement from the measurement device to the targeting object;
- transmitting, by the measurement device, the distance measurement to a processor;
- determining, by the processor, whether the distance measurement corresponds to a target distance;
- determining, by the processor, whether the determined position of the targeting object corresponds to a target position;
- outputting information on a display device, the information including at least one of sound, video, graphics, and global positioning system data, wherein the outputted information includes:
- whether the distance measurement corresponds to the target distance;
- a location in the working space for the targeting object, such that in response to the targeting object being displaced to the outputted location, a determined position of the targeting object corresponds to the target position and the distance measurement corresponds to the target distance;
- and
- an instruction to a user;
- and
- receiving input at an input device, the input including a confirmation of execution of the instruction by the user.

A non-transitory computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions, which, when loaded and executed on a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:
- position a measurement device in a working space such that the measurement device has a specified positional relationship to a reference point in the working space;
- determine a position as a determined position of a targeting object in the working space, including measuring, by the measurement device, a distance measurement from the measurement device to the targeting object;
- transmit, by the measurement device, the distance measurement to a processor:
- determine, by the processor, whether the distance measurement corresponds to a target distance;
- determine, by the processor, whether the determined position of the targeting object corresponds to a target position;
- output information on a display device, the information including at least one of sound, video, graphics, and global positioning system data, wherein the outputted information includes:
- whether the distance measurement corresponds to the target distance;
- a location in the working space for the targeting object, such that in response to the targeting object being displaced to the outputted location, a determined position of the targeting object corresponds to the target position and the distance measurement corresponds to the target distance;
- and
- an instruction to a user;
- and
- receive input at an input device, the input including a confirmation of execution of the instruction by the user.
9 more elements
A manufacturing system, comprising:
- a receiver to receive a distance measurement from a measurement device located in a working space, wherein the measurement device has a specified positional relationship to a reference point in the working space, and wherein the distance measurement is a distance from the measurement device to a targeting object located in the working space;
- position determination logic for determining a position as a determined position of the targeting object provided in the working space;
- a processor communicatively connected to the receiver, the processor to:
- determine whether the distance measurement corresponds to a target distance;
- and
- determine whether the determined position of the targeting object corresponds to a target position;
- and
- an output device to output information, the information including at least one of sound, video, graphics, and global positioning system data, the information including:
- whether the distance received from the measurement device corresponds to the target distance;
- a location for the targeting object, such that when the targeting object is displaced to the outputted location the determined position will correspond to the target position and the distance measurement will correspond to the target distance;
- and
- an instruction to a user;
- and
- an input device, the input including a confirmation of execution of the instruction by the user.
