Augmented reality for internet connectivity installation

This invention describes a system where you point your mobile phone at an internet network device, like a router. The phone gets an identification from the network device and then retrieves details about what's plugged into each port and the status of those connections. This information is then shown as a digital overlay on your phone's screen, appearing directly on top of the live camera view of the network device.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of unified IoT communication standards like Matter and Thread. These standards could simplify the retrieval of port-level connectivity status and device identities from diverse network devices.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, AR rendering, network device APIs
