An embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-implemented method for displaying one or more augmented reality (AR) objects on a transparent display device, comprising: associating data of one or more transparent areas corresponding to one or more real objects with a first layer for seeing one or more real objects on the transparent display device, wherein the data has information on a location and shape of the one or more real objects on the transparent display device, associating one or more AR objects with a second layer for displaying one or more AR objects on the transparent display device; and overlaying the first layer with the second layer to display the one or more AR objects on the transparent display device, wherein the one or more real objects are seen through the one or more transparent areas on the transparent display device by transparent area the transparent display device.

Displaying of augmented reality objects

A computer supports an operation by an operator of a target device. The computer stores a first topology indicating dependency relationship of a plurality of device types including a device type of the target device. The computer generates a second topology indicating dependency relationship of a plurality of devices including the target device, by performing, based on the first topology, a topology discovery for the plurality of devices. Each of the plurality of devices has any one of the plurality of device types. The computer provides an operation sequence of the plurality of devices to the operator. The operation sequence is generated based on the second topology.
