Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for information display. In one embodiment, a method for information display includes: acquiring original information associated with an infrastructure for information processing in the real world; visualizing at least a portion of the original information to generate visualized information, wherein the visualized information includes at least one of visualized environmental information associated with an environment in which the infrastructure is located, visualized hardware information associated with hardware in the infrastructure, visualized data processing information associated with data processing performed by the infrastructure, and a visualized analysis result obtained by analyzing the original information; and presenting the visualized information in a virtual world displayed by at least one virtual reality device, wherein the virtual world simulates the real world and includes a virtual representation of the infrastructure. Therefore, infrastructure management can be improved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for information display, comprising:
acquiring original information associated with at least one infrastructure comprising one or more physical devices for information processing in a real world, wherein the original information comprises original hardware information associated with one or more hardware components of the one or more physical devices in the at least one infrastructure, and the original hardware information is acquired from the one or more physical devices in the at least one infrastructure;
visualizing at least a portion of the original information to generate visualized information, wherein the visualized information comprises visualized original hardware information associated with the one or more hardware components of the one or more physical devices in the at least one infrastructure; and
presenting the visualized information in a virtual world displayed by at least one virtual reality device, wherein the virtual world simulates the real world and comprises a virtual representation of the at least one infrastructure;
wherein generating the visualized information comprises:
determining a corresponding attention degree of a user of the at least one infrastructure;
determining, in the at least one infrastructure, one infrastructure whose attention degree exceeds a threshold attention degree as a target infrastructure;
selecting part of the original hardware information associated with the target infrastructure from the original hardware information; and
visualizing the selected part of the original hardware information to generate the visualized original hardware information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring the original information further comprises:
acquiring original environmental information from a sensor configured to monitor the at least one infrastructure.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein generating the visualized information further comprises:
acquiring an environmental information fusion model configured to determine a particular environmental information to be provided to the user based on the original environmental information;
applying the original environmental information to the environmental information fusion model to determine the particular environmental information to be provided to the user; and
visualizing the particular environmental information to be provided to the user to generate the visualized environmental information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring the original information further comprises at least one of the following:
acquiring original data processing information associated with data processing from the at least one infrastructure; and
acquiring additional information from at least one database associated with the at least one infrastructure, wherein the at least one database comprises at least one of the following: a historical hardware information database, a historical environmental information database, a knowledge database, a risk model database, an expert database, a troubleshooting process database, and an operation process database.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein generating the visualized information further comprises:
analyzing the original information by using a data analysis model to obtain a particular analysis result, wherein the particular analysis result comprises at least one of operation advice, maintenance advice, and prediction advice for the at least one infrastructure; and
visualizing the particular analysis result to generate the visualized analysis result.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein presenting the visualized information in the virtual world comprises:
transmitting the generated visualized information to the at least one virtual reality device via a network to present the generated visualized information in the virtual world.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one virtual reality device comprises a first virtual reality device and a second virtual reality device, and the method further comprises:
receiving a request for changing the visualized information from the first virtual reality device;
changing the visualized information based on the request; and
presenting the changed visualized information in the virtual world displayed by the first virtual reality device and the second virtual reality device.

8. An electronic device, comprising:
at least one processing unit; and
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processing unit and storing instructions configured to be executed by the at least one processing unit, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processing unit, cause the electronic device to perform actions comprising:
acquiring original information associated with at least one infrastructure comprising one or more physical devices for information processing in a real world, wherein the original information comprises original hardware information associated with one or more hardware components of the one or more physical devices in the at least one infrastructure, and the original hardware information is acquired from the one or more physical devices in the at least one infrastructure;
visualizing at least a portion of the original information to generate visualized information, wherein the visualized information comprises visualized original hardware information associated with the one or more hardware components of the one or more physical devices in the at least one infrastructure; and
presenting the visualized information in a virtual world displayed by at least one virtual reality device, wherein the virtual world simulates the real world and comprises a virtual representation of the at least one infrastructure;
wherein generating the visualized information comprises:
determining a corresponding attention degree of a user of the at least one infrastructure;
determining, in the at least one infrastructure, one infrastructure whose attention degree exceeds a threshold attention degree as a target infrastructure;
selecting part of the original hardware information associated with the target infrastructure from the original hardware information; and
visualizing the selected part of the original hardware information to generate the visualized original hardware information.

9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein acquiring the original information further comprises:
acquiring original environmental information from a sensor configured to monitor the at least one infrastructure.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein generating the visualized information further comprises:
acquiring an environmental information fusion model configured to determine a particular environmental information to be provided to the user based on the original environmental information;
applying the original environmental information to the environmental information fusion model to determine the particular environmental information to be provided to the user; and
visualizing the particular environmental information to be provided to the user to generate the visualized environmental information.

11. The device according to claim 8 , wherein acquiring the original information further comprises at least one of the following:
acquiring original data processing information associated with data processing from the at least one infrastructure; and
acquiring additional information from at least one database associated with the at least one infrastructure, wherein the at least one database comprises at least one of the following: a historical hardware information database, a historical environmental information database, a
