Display System for Coordinated Multi-Worker Task Execution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies do not effectively support multiple workers in dividing and executing work tasks for a shared work object, such as a printer, by displaying appropriate work contents on display devices like HMDs, as they fail to manage and coordinate the work procedures and progress between workers.
Innovation Solution
A display system comprising a first and second display device, a storage device that divides work for a work object, and a control device that displays specific work contents on each device, allowing workers to execute their tasks efficiently by showing procedures sequentially and adapting to changes in the work object's state, enabling coordinated effort between multiple workers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If work contents are displayed on display devices for multiple workers, then workers can execute their tasks more efficiently, but the system complexity increases due to needing to manage and coordinate work procedures between multiple workers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments work contents into multiple independent work items that can be separately displayed and executed by different workers. Each work content is divided into manageable units that can be independently managed, reducing the complexity of coordinating multiple workers while maintaining productivity benefits.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a display control device as an intermediary that manages and coordinates work contents between multiple workers. This intermediary automatically handles the complexity of work coordination, distributing appropriate work contents to each worker's display device without requiring complex direct coordination between workers.
2Loss of time
If multiple workers perform different work procedures simultaneously, then work completion time is reduced, but it becomes difficult to track and coordinate the progress of each worker
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the display control device receives work progress information from multiple workers and updates the display of work contents accordingly. This feedback loop enables real-time tracking of each worker's progress while maintaining efficient parallel work execution, as the system automatically adjusts displayed work contents based on current progress status.
Solution Approach 2:
The display control device serves as an intermediary that centralizes work progress tracking. It collects status information from multiple workers and manages the coordination of work procedures, enabling parallel execution while maintaining visibility of each worker's progress through the centralized control system.
3Ease of operation
If work contents are displayed on portable display devices, then workers can move freely and access work information conveniently, but the display area and visibility are limited compared to fixed display devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying different work contents tailored to each worker's specific task and location. Each worker receives customized work information on their portable device, optimizing the display content for their immediate needs rather than providing a uniform large display to all workers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments work contents into discrete, manageable units that can be effectively displayed on portable devices with limited screen real estate. By dividing work procedures into smaller steps and information units, the system maintains ease of mobility while ensuring that essential work information remains visible and accessible on portable displays.
