Assignee: OSHKOSH CORPORATION
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 14:
15. A system for determining if a point of interest is within reach of a reach apparatus, the system comprising:
a handheld unit comprising an orientation sensor and a distance sensor configured to obtain a distance value and an orientation when the handheld unit is directed towards a point of interest at a particular location by a user;
processing circuitry in communication with the orientation sensor and the distance sensor, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
obtain the distance value and the orientation from the distance sensor and the orientation sensor;
determine a coordinate of the point of interest using the distance value and the orientation;
determine, based on a comparison between the coordinate of the point of interest and a plurality of different reach envelopes, which of a plurality of different reach apparatuses can reach the point of interest, the plurality of different reach apparatuses corresponding to one of the plurality of different reach envelopes; and
operate a display screen of the handheld unit to provide feedback regarding which of the plurality of different reach apparatuses can reach the point of interest that is measured at the handheld unit;

wherein the handheld unit is configured to determine which of the plurality of different reach apparatuses can reach the point of interest without requiring a reach apparatus to be at a jobsite of the point of interest.
