Cloning a computing environment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a computer environment cloning document, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more images of a computing environment, the one or more color images depicting a plurality of interconnected components;
analyzing the one or more color images to identify each component of the plurality of interconnected components and each connection among the plurality of interconnected components, by identifying a set of attributes for each component from the one or more color images, wherein the set of attributes includes component color, cable color, cable interconnections, physical position, and the amount of space occupied by each component, and matching the identified set of attributes to a second set of attributes, the second set of attributes associated with a known component and stored in a database;
determining, based on the matching, a specification for each component of the plurality of interconnected components; and
generating, based on the determining, a document including the identity of each component of the plurality of interconnected components, a respective specification of each component of the plurality of interconnected components, and each connection among the plurality of interconnected components.

Abstract
A computer implemented method comprises receiving one or more images of a computing environment comprising a plurality of interconnected components, analyzing the or each received image to identify each component shown in the image(s) and the connection(s) of each identified component, by identifying a set of attributes for each component from the image(s) and matching the identified attributes to attributes of known components stored in a database, obtaining a specification for each identified component, and generating a document comprising each identified component, its respective specification and the connection(s) of each identified component.
