Abstract

A server may communicatively couple to a user device and an instructor device. The server may receive location information from the user device. The location information may define visual content captured by the user device. The server may transmit the location information to the instructor device. The instructor device may present the visual content based on the received location information and receive input defining an instruction from an instructor. The server may receive instruction information defining the instruction from the instructor device. The server may transmit the instruction information to the user device. The user device may present the instruction overlaid on top of the visual content based on the received instruction information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for remotely communicating instructions, the system comprising:
a server communicatively coupled to a first user device and an instructor device, the server, the first user device, and the instructor device individually comprising a memory and a processor, the server configured to:
receive location information from the first user device, the location information characterizing a location of the first user device, wherein the location information defines visual content captured by the first user device;
transmit at least a portion of the location information to the instructor device, the instructor device configured to present the visual content within an instructor interface based on the received location information and receive input from an instructor through the instructor interface, the input defining an instruction associated with the visual content;
receive instruction information defining the instruction associated with the visual content from the instructor device; and
transmit at least a portion of the instruction information to the first user device, the first user device configured to present the instruction overlaid on top of the visual content within a first learner interface based on the received instruction information;
wherein the instruction information comprises a direction, the direction defining how to use an item to perform the instruction, and wherein one or more of a size, a shape, and a color associated with the direction indicates one or more of a pressure to apply, a speed with which to move the item, a depth with which the item is to be pushed on or into a surface of the target, a time to contact the item to the surface of the target, and period of time to use the item.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first learner interface includes a record option to record one or more portions of the instruction being presented on top of the visual content.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first learner interface includes a bookmark option to bookmark one or more portions of the instruction being presented on top of the visual content.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructor interface includes a segmentation option to segment the presentation of the instruction by the first user device into multiple parts.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein presentation of different parts of the instruction by the first user device is controlled through the first learner interface or the instructor interface.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first learner interface includes a change option to change the instruction and the server is further configured to facilitate exchange of the change to the instruction between the first user device and the instructor device.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the presentation of the instruction by the first user device includes a visual representation of a usage of an item with respect to a target at the location.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the visual representation of the usage of the item with respect to the target at the location is scaled based on a size of the target.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructor interface includes an item option to allow the instructor to interact with a visual representation of the item to define the instruction on the usage of the item with respect to the target at the location.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the visual representation of the item is presented in the instructor interface based on a determination that the item is available for use at the location.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the item option includes a set of preset options defining preset usage of the item with respect to the target at the location.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein at least some of the set of preset options are included within the instructor interface based on the location information further defining one or more characteristics of the target at the location.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the item option allows the instructor to define the usage of the item with respect to the target at the location based on a three-dimensional model of the target.

14. The system of claim 7 , wherein the visual representation of the usage of the item with respect to the target at the location is presented based on a three-dimensional model of the target.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the three-dimensional model of the target is generated based on a three-dimensional mapping of the target by the first user device, wherein the location information further defines the three-dimensional mapping of the target.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein:
the server further communicatively couples to a second user device;
the server is further configured to transmit companion instruction information to the second user device, the companion instruction information defining the instruction; and
the second user device is configured to present the visual representation of the usage of the item with respect to the target at the location within a second learner interface based on the received companion instruction information.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the presentation the visual representation of the usage of the item with respect to the target at the location by the first user device and the second user device include different perspectives of the usage of the item with respect to the target at the location based on orientations of the first user device and the second user device with respect to the target at the location.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the visual content includes one or more images or one or more videos of the location.

19. A method for remotely communicating instructions, the method performed by a server communicatively coupled to a first user device and an instructor device, the server, the first user device, and the instructor device individually comprising a memory and a processor, the method comprising:
receiving location information from the first user device, the location information characterizing a location of the first user device, wherein the location information defines visual content captured by the first user device;
transmitting at least a portion of the location information to the instructor device, the instructor device configured to present the visual content within an instructor interface based on the received location information and receive input from an instructor through the instructor interface, the input defining an instruction associated with the visual content;
receiving instruction information defining the instruction associated with the visual content from the instructor device; and
transmitting at least a portion of the instruction information to the first user device, the first user device configured to present the instruction overlaid on top of the visual content within a first learner interface based on the received instruction information;
wherein the instruction information comprises a direction, the direction defining how to use an item to perform the instruction, and wherein one or more of a size, a shape, and a color associated with the direction indicates one or more of a pressure to apply, a speed with which to move the item, a depth with which the item is to be pushed on or into a surface of the target, a time to contact the item to the surface of the target, and period of time to use the item.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a server communicatively co
