Solution Overview

Problem

Existing farming area management systems rely on workers with limited knowledge to report issues, leading to unreliable information and inefficient management, resulting in potential economic losses due to missed or mismanaged issues such as facility failures and pests.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising worker and manager terminals, and a server, where workers generate and transmit issue occurrence information, which is classified as unconfirmed until verified by managers, allowing for reliable issue management and priority-based resolution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If workers report issues directly without verification, then issue reporting speed increases, but information reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveissue reporting speedVSAvoidissue information reliability

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a manager as an intermediary between workers and the issue management system. Workers report issues to managers, who then verify and confirm the issues before they are registered in the system. This intermediary role maintains fast reporting (workers can immediately submit issues) while ensuring reliability (managers verify the validity of reported issues).

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary verification by managers before final registration of issues. The manager's confirmation step acts as a preliminary action that filters out unreliable reports while maintaining the fast reporting capability. This preliminary check ensures that only valid issues are processed further, resolving the contradiction between speed and reliability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multiple managers are deployed to monitor all zones, then issue detection reliability improves, but labor cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveissue detection reliabilityVSAvoidnumber of managers

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the issue detection function between workers and managers. Workers are responsible for initial issue identification and reporting in their respective zones, while managers handle verification and confirmation. This segmentation allows the system to maintain high detection reliability without requiring multiple managers in each zone, as workers perform the initial detection task.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Workers perform self-service in issue detection by actively monitoring their work zones and reporting issues they observe. This eliminates the need for managers to personally inspect every zone, as workers independently perform detection tasks. The system leverages the distributed presence of workers across zones to maintain comprehensive monitoring without proportionally increasing manager numbers.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If workers are trained to accurately identify issues, then information quality improves, but training cost and time increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveissue identification accuracyVSAvoidtraining time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The manager acts as an intermediary who provides verification and guidance on issue identification. Rather than requiring workers to become experts through extensive training, the manager's confirmation role compensates for workers' limited knowledge. This intermediary support system allows workers to report issues with basic training while maintaining accuracy through manager verification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback when managers verify or correct worker reports. This feedback mechanism helps workers improve their issue identification skills over time without requiring extensive initial training. The feedback loop allows workers to learn from manager corrections while maintaining current operational accuracy through the verification process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present invention relates to an issue management system including a manager terminal, a worker terminal, and a server. The server classifies and stores first issue occurrence information as an unidentified issue until an issue registration determination for the first issue occurrence information is received from the manager terminal, and an emergency indicator indicating emergency is displayed together in an issue item indicating issue occurrence information including emergency.
