Systems and methods for collaborating in a non-destructive testing system
First Claim
1. A computing device comprising program instructions configured to:
- receive data that has been acquired using one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection devices;
receive an input configured to derive a list of one or more recipients indicated as available to collaborate;
receive a selection of at least one recipient from the list of recipients associated with at least one other computing device;
establish a communication connection between the computing device and the at least one other computing device that corresponds to the at least one recipient, wherein the communication connection is configured to share data with the at least one other computing device;
receive feedback data comprising the NDT inspection device abutting or contacting a structure adjacent to the NDT inspection device and provide tactile feedback to a user to present the feedback data;
overlay the feedback data on graphics depicted on a display of the computing device;
record a video stream or an audio stream associated with the data being shared; and
store the video stream or the audio stream for future access by the at least one computing device.

Abstract
A collaboration system may include a computing device that may communicate with the at least one other computing device via a computing network network. The computing device may receive data that has been acquired using one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection devices, receive an input that may cause a list of one or more experts indicated as available to collaborate to be derived. The computing device may also receive a selection of at least one expert from the list of experts. After receiving the expert selection, the computing device may establish a communication connection between the computing device and the at least one other computing device that corresponds to the at least one expert. Here, the communication connection may share data depicted on the computing device with the at least one other computing device.

4. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions configured to:
-
receive, at a computing device, data that has been acquired using one or more non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection devices; receive an input configured to derive a list of one or more recipients indicated as available to collaborate; receive a selection of at least one recipient from the list of recipients; establish a communication connection with at least one other computing device that corresponds to the at least one recipient, wherein the communication connection is configured to share data with the at least one other computing device; send feedback data comprising the NDT inspection device abutting or contacting a structure adjacent to the NDT inspection device to allow the at least one other computing device to receive the feedback data and provide tactile feedback to a user to represent the feedback data; overlay the feedback data on graphics depicted on a display of the computing device; record a video stream or an audio stream associated with the data being shared; and store the video stream or the audio stream for future access by the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
