Abstract

Methods and systems for automatic detection and recognition of visual tags on equipment are disclosed. The make and model of an object such as an appliance or consumer device is recognized from an image or video using object detection. This make and model information may then be used to direct a user to locate an equipment information tag that includes model and serial number information. Object recognition and optical character recognition can then be employed to extract the model and serial number from the tag, along with any other relevant information. The extracted information may then be used to locate service and/or operation information.
