RECORDING AND PROVIDING FOR DISPLAY IMAGES OF EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH POWER EQUIPMENT
First Claim
1. A method for identifying an event image associated with an event in a maintenance procedure associated with power equipment, comprising:
- recording, via a wearable image recorder, images associated with the maintenance procedure;
recording, via an audio recorder, audio associated with the maintenance procedure;
temporally correlating the images with the audio; and
identifying the event image based upon at least one of the audio, which is temporally correlated with the images, or the images.

Abstract
Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for identifying event images captured during an event associated with power equipment, such as a maintenance action. An entity, such as a maintenance technician, is equipped with an image recorder and an audio recorder. In some embodiments, the image recorder and/or audio recorder are wearable, such as mounted to eyewear and/or headwear worn by the entity. Audio that is recorded by the audio recorder is processed to identify events (e.g., key actions in a maintenance procedure). Based upon the identification of an event from the audio, event images (e.g., images captured temporally proximate to when the event was identified in the audio) associated with the event are identified and stored in a library. In some embodiments, one or more of such event images are later displayed to entities via a heads-up display, for example.
