DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATION IN AN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon to facilitate communication between users in an industrial application associated with an industrial automation environment, wherein the program instructions, when executed by a computing system, direct the computing system to at least:
- display a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the industrial application on a display system of the computing system;
engage in a peer-to-peer communication session with a remote computing system, wherein the peer-to-peer communication session is displayed within the GUI of the industrial application; and
display industrial data associated with the industrial application within the peer-to-peer communication session.

Abstract
Techniques to facilitate communication between users in an industrial application associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the industrial application is displayed on a display system of the computing system. The computing system engages in a peer-to-peer communication session with a remote computing system, wherein the peer-to-peer communication session is displayed within the GUI of the industrial application. Industrial data associated with the industrial application is displayed within the peer-to-peer communication session.
