Abstract
A system that combines an indoor positioning system (IPS), virtual network computing (VNC), and at least one mobile processing device, e.g., a tablet computer. The IPS determines the location of the mobile processing device, from which information a most proximate instrument, device, and/or system can be determined. Once the most proximate instrument, device, and/or system is determined, the mobile processing device is adapted to launch a remote desktop session with the instrument, device, and/or system via the VNC. Advantageously, the launched remote desktop session automatically authenticates with the software of the instrument, device, and/or system and, moreover, displays data from the instrument, device, and/or system on the at least one mobile processing device in a format with which an operator is most familiar.
