Innovation Solution
An operation setting device and method that includes a receiving unit for designating specific locations and operations within an autonomous bogie's traveling area, utilizing a non-transitory computer readable medium storing an operation setting program to execute these settings, allowing users to intuitively set maps, task sets, and control the bogie's movements through a user-friendly interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing operation setting methods are used for autonomous bogies, then the system can operate autonomously, but the usability for users to designate specific locations and operations is not adequately improved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle by creating a virtual map that replicates the physical traveling area of the autonomous bogie. This virtual representation allows users to intuitively designate locations and operations through a familiar visual interface, significantly improving usability without increasing actual system complexity. The virtual map serves as a simplified copy that makes complex operations more accessible.
2Ease of operation
If users can easily designate locations and operations through a user-friendly interface, then usability is enhanced, but the system must process and interpret these designations accurately
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system processes user designations made through the virtual map interface and provides confirmation or correction. This feedback loop ensures that intuitive user inputs are accurately translated into precise operational commands, maintaining measurement precision while preserving ease of operation. The system validates and refines user designations before execution.
