Abstract

An image processing system including at least one processor configured to receive real-time image data captured by an image sensor of a mobile device. The real-time image data includes at least one image of an inoperative product. The processor is further configured to perform image recognition on the real-time image data to identify a likely source product inoperability; cause the mobile device to display sequential instructions for mitigating the inoperability; determine that an error was made when a particular one of the instructions is not complied with; cause the mobile device to display an error notification when the particular instruction is not complied with and before a subsequent instruction is displayed; determine that the particular instruction was subsequently complied with based on real-time image data captured following the notification; and cause the mobile device to display the subsequent instruction after the particular instruction is determined to have been complied with.
