    摘要: A mobile application for facilitating installation of the user nodes in a fixed wireless network utilizes augmented reality to provide location, usage, and recommendation information about nearby service nodes. A camera of the mobile computing device captures image data depicting the surrounding area, which is displayed on a touchscreen display of the mobile computing device with graphical elements including icons and textual information overlaid on the captured image data in different positions and with different visual characteristics based on geometric information for the mobile computing device and the surrounding area, the relative position of nearby service nodes with respect to the mobile computing device, and information about the service nodes such as typical usage and/or whether the service node is recommended or not. A virtual antenna is also overlaid on the image data, and an image depicting the virtual antenna as it would look once installed is generated and stored.

    摘要: A premises networking device includes hardware components including speakers, microphone, infrared sensor, spectrum analyzer and wireless interfaces. A touch screen display presents a user interface that provides information about network conditions and configuration settings and a menu for setting and changing configuration settings. Different versions of the user interface are displayed based on whether a user is in proximity to the device. The user interface includes shapes representing user devices, the visual characteristics of which change based on the current network conditions. A health score, which is an evaluation of network performance based on measurements of aspects of the conditions of the network, is displayed in real time. A network management system includes a network management platform for storing network conditions and configuration information and pushing the information to premises networking devices. An application programming interface allows third-party applications to send instructions to and access data from various system processes.

    摘要: A mobile application for facilitating configuration and installation of networking and extender devices in a local area network utilizes augmented reality to provide configuration guidance information and network information. For configuring the networking device, a camera of the mobile computing device captures an image depicting the networking device, which is displayed on a touchscreen display of the mobile computing device with graphical elements including icons and textual information overlaid on the image to indicate configuration guidance information. Similarly, for installing the extender device, the camera captures image data depicting areas of the premises where the device is being installed and graphical elements are overlaid on the image data indicating network information such as the position of a previously installed networking device as well as the signal strength of wireless signals from the networking device.
