1. A method for analyzing an operating characteristic of a machine, the method comprising the steps of:
- accessing a source of information, which is extracted from the machine in relation to the operating characteristic thereof;
transmitting the accessed information wirelessly to a receptive code pattern generator;
decoding the transmitted information upon a reception thereof;
generating a code pattern that corresponds to the decoded information;
interpreting the generated code pattern, wherein the interpreted code pattern relates to the machine operating characteristic; and
analyzing the machine operating characteristic in real time based on the interpreting step.

Abstract
An example method for analyzing an operating characteristic of a machine is described. Information is accessed, which has been extracted from the machine in relation to the operating characteristic thereof. The accessed information is transmitted wirelessly to a receptive code pattern generator. Upon reception, the transmitted information is decoded. A code pattern is generated, which corresponds to the decoded information. The generated code pattern is read and interpreted. The interpreted code pattern describes the machine operating characteristic, which is analyzed in real time based on the interpretation.

21. A communication network operable for analyzing an operating characteristic of a machine, the communication network comprising:
-
a first wireless data subnet component operable over a first radio frequency (RF) range and over which information related to the machine operating characteristic is exchanged between a RF transmitter and a RF receiver, wherein the RF receiver is associated with a code pattern generator operable to generate a two dimensional (2D) code pattern corresponding to the machine operating characteristic related information; and at least a second wireless data subnet component, operable over at least one of a second RF range, or over an infrared or other optical wavelength range, and over which the generated 2D code pattern is exchanged with an analyzer operable to interpret the generated 2D code pattern and to determine the machine operating characteristic in real time based on the 2D code pattern interpretation.
