Asset management service for distributed computing environments
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- capturing, by a user device that executes an asset management application, an asset identifier that uniquely identifies an asset, wherein the user device comprises a camera, and wherein the user device captures the asset identifier using the camera;
capturing, at the user device, geographic location information that identifies a geographic location of the user device;
capturing, at the user device, authentication information that identifies the user device;
transmitting, by the user device and to an asset management engine, the asset identifier, the geographic location information, and the authentication information;
receiving, by the user device and from the asset management engine, a list of available status updates for the asset;
presenting, at the user device, the list of available status updates;
detecting, at the user device, selection of a status update of the available status updates; and
transmitting, by the user device and to the asset management engine, the asset identifier, the geographic location information, the authentication information, and event data that indicates the status update to update an asset record that corresponds to the asset.

Abstract
Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for an asset management service. The asset management service can receive asset record creation requests and can store asset records at an asset data repository. The asset records can identify assets and associated information such as, for example, asset identifiers, personnel, organizations, users, geographic locations, time and date information, status information, or the like. A user device can execute an asset management application to generate asset tags including the asset identifiers and to scan existing asset tags. When asset tags are scanned, the user device also can capture device and/or user information that can be used to set a status or provide available status choices. Status updates can be provided to the asset management service for updating of the asset records.
