Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to methods for demonstrating technical know-how. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, technologies associated with learning systems used for knowledge, know-how, etc., are known. For example, Japanese Patent No. 7473270 discloses a technology that uses generative AI to deliver lectures that are tailored to the level of the audience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] While Japanese Patent No. 7473270 discloses a learning system utilizing machine learning (such as generative AI), it does not consider adjusting the content of the demonstrated know-how based on factors such as the location of the user's workplace (headquarters, factory, overseas, etc.) and the average physique of the region where the workplace is located. In other words, there is still room for improvement in know-how demonstration techniques. Currently, know-how refers to specific or professional knowledge, technology, skill, and information, and is typically conveyed through descriptions using words, images, actions, etc. Examples of know-how include, but are not limited to, tasks such as screwing or assembling, operating applications or software, and business operation processes.

[0004] In view of the above, the purpose of this disclosure is to improve the know-how demonstration technique.

[0005] The method of demonstrating the technical know-how according to the embodiments of this disclosure is as follows: A method for demonstrating technical know-how, performed by an information processing device, the method comprising: A request to obtain the output technical know-how; Obtaining regional information; and Based on the region information, the content of the know-how corresponding to the request is adjusted, and the adjusted know-how is output.

[0006] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the know-how demonstration technique has been improved. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The functions of the information processing device 10 or server device 20 are implemented by executing the program of this embodiment in a processor corresponding to control unit 11 or control unit 21. That is, the functions of the information processing device 10 or server device 20 are implemented by software. The program causes the computer to perform the work of the information processing device 10 or server device 20, thereby making the computer function as the information processing device 10 or server device 20. In other words, the computer functions as the information processing device 10 or server device 20 by performing the work of the information processing device 10 or server device 20 according to the program. In this embodiment, the program can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media include non-transitory computer-readable media, and are, for example, magnetic recording devices, semiconductor memories, etc. Program distribution is performed, for example, by selling, transferring, or leasing a portable recording medium (such as a digital multifunction disc (DVD)) in which the program is recorded. Furthermore, program distribution can be performed by storing the program in the memory of an external server and sending the program from the external server to another computer. Additionally, the program can be provided as a program product. Some or all of the functions of the information processing device 10 or server device 20 can be implemented by dedicated circuitry corresponding to control unit 11 or control unit 21. In other words, some or all of the functions of the information processing device 10 or the server device 20 can be implemented by hardware.

[0015] Reference Figure 2 The operation of the information processing apparatus 10 according to this embodiment is described. First, the control unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 obtains a request to output know-how (step S1). Any technology can be used to obtain the request to output know-how. For example, the control unit 11 can obtain the request based on a user's input operation to the input unit 13. Any user interface can be used for this input operation. For example, the input unit 13 can receive prompts corresponding to the user's request through key input, voice input, touch panel operation, gesture input, etc.

[0016] Next, the control unit 11 acquires the know-how corresponding to the request (step S2). Any technique can be used to acquire the know-how corresponding to the request. For example, the control unit 11 sends a prompt corresponding to the request to the server device 20 via the communication unit 15 and inputs the prompt into the language model of the server device 20. The language model of the server device 20 outputs the know-how corresponding to the prompt. The control unit 11 acquires the know-how via the communication unit 15. In this way, the control unit 11 can acquire the know-how corresponding to the request by using the language model of the server device 20.

[0017] Next, the control unit 11 acquires the area information corresponding to the user who sent the request (step S3). The area information may be information indicating the user's location, the country or region from which the user originates, or the country or region of the company or organization to which the user belongs. For example, the area information includes at least one of environmental information about the user's workplace and average physical information about the user's work area. Environmental information includes at least one of weather information, location information, and time of day in the work area. Weather information includes at least one of temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, wind direction, and atmospheric pressure. Any technology can be used to acquire the area information. For example, the area information can be acquired from an external database. The external database may be located in the server device 20 or in another external device.

[0018] The control unit 11 adjusts the content of the know-how based on the region information and outputs the adjusted know-how (step S4). Any technique can be used to adjust the content of the know-how. For example, know-how may include a work process, and adjusting know-how may include changing the work process. For example, suppose that the know-how for a region with a larger average build (hereinafter referred to as "first region") includes the action of "crouching". In this case, when the know-how is applied to a region with an average build smaller than that in the first region (hereinafter referred to as "second region"), the control unit 11 adjusts the content of the know-how based on the region information. Specifically, for example, the control unit 11 excludes the "crouching" action and optimizes the work to match the second region. More specifically, for example, the control unit 11 can optimize the work method by changing to a standing posture or other work methods as a suitable work method for the second region. In other cases, for example, the work can be optimized by changing the handling of heavy loads. Specifically, for example, if the working technique for the first area involves lifting with one hand, the working technique for the second area, where the average person is smaller, can be changed to lifting with two hands. Alternatively, the control unit 11 can recommend the use of auxiliary equipment (cranes, forklifts, etc.) in the second area. Furthermore, the work can be optimized, for example, by changing the materials used. For example, the control unit 11 can make adjustments, such as changing the material in hot areas to one that takes into account thermal expansion, or changing the material in humid areas to one that is resistant to rust and deterioration. Moreover, for example, when body size and hand size differ, the control unit 11 can optimize work efficiency by adjusting the size, shape, etc., of the working tools and selecting tools that are easy to grip.

[0019] The adjusted know-how can be output using any technology. For example, the control unit 11 can output the adjusted know-how through the output unit 14 of the information processing device 10 via a user interface. Furthermore, the control unit 11 can also output the basis and reasons for adjusting the know-how. For example, when adjusting the know-how based on average physical information, the control unit 11 can output the average physical information as the basis and reason through the user interface via the output unit 14.

[0020] As described above, the information processing apparatus 10 according to this embodiment obtains a request to output know-how and obtains the know-how corresponding to the request. The information processing apparatus 10 also obtains region information. Based on the region information, the information processing apparatus 10 adjusts the content of the know-how corresponding to the request. The information processing apparatus 10 outputs the know-how whose content has been adjusted.

[0021] According to this configuration, the information processing device 10 acquires situation information and outputs know-how that has been adjusted based on the area information. The know-how display technology is improved in that it increases the probability of outputting know-how that takes area information into account.

[0022] Although this disclosure has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations to it. Therefore, it should be understood that such modifications and alterations are within the scope of this disclosure. For example, functions included in configurations, steps, etc., can be rearranged as long as there is no logical inconsistency, and multiple configurations, steps, etc., can be combined into one or divided.

[0023] For example, control unit 11 can perform an appropriateness determination (usability determination) of the adjusted know-how. The appropriateness determination can be based on input from the confirmation results of an experienced user, input from the confirmation results of multiple users, etc. Furthermore, the appropriateness determination can also be based on restrictive information, such as local laws and regulations related to regional information.

[0024] In addition, for example, besides area information, the control unit 11 can also acquire information related to individual conditions, such as the user's vital signs, emotions, etc. (hereinafter also referred to as "condition information"). The control unit 11 can also adjust the content of know-how based on the condition information. Any technology can be used to acquire condition information. For example, condition information can be acquired from external sensors. For example, external sensors can be installed in a wearable device worn by the user. The wearable device can be used to measure biometric information such as heart rate, blood pressure, acceleration, skin potential, etc., and understand the user's physiological state. Alternatively, condition information can be acquired by external devices such as cameras, microphones, etc. For example, a camera can capture the user's facial expressions, gaze, posture, etc., and the user's tension, emotions, and intentions can be inferred based on these facial expressions. In addition, for example, the user's tone of voice, speech content, ambient sounds, etc., can be acquired through a microphone, and the user's tension, emotions, and intentions can be inferred based on this information. Furthermore, a Global Positioning System (GPS) device, location information sensor, etc., can be used to acquire the user's current location, their route, etc., and this information can be used for condition recognition. Any technique can be used to adjust the content of know-how based on situational information. For example, when the situational information includes the user's level of tension, and the tension is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the control unit 11 can fine-tune the content of the know-how by limiting it to only high-priority items. Specifically, the control unit 11 can facilitate user understanding by omitting complex processes, using diagrams, tables, etc., to transform processes into visually easy-to-understand expressions. Furthermore, for example, when the situational information includes information about the presence or absence of nearby people, the content of the know-how can be adjusted by limiting it to only high-priority items. For example, when there are people around, adjustments such as making the instructions more concise can be made. Note that the content of the know-how can be adjusted in various ways, such as by adjusting the level of abstraction, granularity, etc., changing the order of instructions, changing the method of expression, etc.

[0025] Furthermore, for example, in the above embodiments, an embodiment may be adopted in which the configuration and operation of the information processing device 10 are distributed among multiple computers, including the server device 20, that are capable of communicating with each other.
