Invention Description (u) You can easily access such information as technical descriptions, text-based test procedures or any other information. In other settings, such as in a surgical setting, remote doctors can efficiently establish two-way communication. When the surgeon at the scene can transmit real-time images through the digital camera 22, the doctor who is not present or at a remote location can communicate with the doctor in several different ways to provide instant input or response. For example, his tele-doctor can provide virtual guidance to the surgeon on-site via one of the displays 28 or 30, or via the headset 26. Doctors or medical personnel at remote locations can also provide real-time information on the display 28, 30 or through the headset 26 to indicate the status of body parts or important organs of the patient. Remote assistance can be used as a method for remote repair, diagnosis, and maintenance (RRDM). RRDM enables plant maintenance personnel to efficiently respond to maintenance problems from a distance without the cost and time of on-site inspections. A variety of commercial equipment and computerization of premises make RRDM possible. Although it is not possible to actually transfer spare originals over a link network, when an anchored car has an electronic controller, factory engineers can connect and overhaul the system in real time and adjust it, and then repair the device online . In other environments, such as in construction sites, construction workers can communicate with site foremen, engineers, and architects immediately, especially when problems or emergencies occur. And when only response, approval or simple orders and similar events are needed, engineers, site foremen, and architects need not be present at all locations to respond to questions. 24 ^ Paper size applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm 1 '
