Electric Facility Inspection Terminal with Dynamic Route Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing inspection systems for electric facilities face challenges in efficiently tracking inspection progress and results, leading to potential losses of documentation and increased time and labor for workers, as they need to manually input inspection results and manage multiple maps and cards during patrols.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that specifies electric facilities for inspection based on line map data and terminal positions, displaying inspection status and changing route displays on a terminal to indicate completed inspections, allowing for efficient data entry and reduced manual labor through a graphical user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If workers manually manage inspection documentation using maps and cards during patrols, then they can perform inspection tasks, but they risk losing documentation and require significant time and labor for manual data entry
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual paper-based documentation (maps and cards) with an electronic information processing system. The terminal device captures inspection data electronically and transmits it to the server, eliminating the need for physical documentation handling and manual data entry, thus preventing loss and reducing time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates digital copies of inspection documentation through electronic data capture at the terminal device. Instead of relying on physical maps and cards that can be lost, the system generates and stores electronic copies on the server, ensuring documentation safety and enabling easy retrieval without manual re-entry.
2Ease of operation
If workers carry multiple maps and cards during inspection patrols, then they can access necessary information, but they increase the risk of losing documentation and burden themselves with additional equipment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate documentation items (maps, inspection cards, facility information) into a single integrated terminal device. The terminal displays all necessary inspection information in one interface, eliminating the need to carry and manage multiple separate physical documents, thus reducing quantity while maintaining ease of access.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device serves multiple functions: displaying facility location information, showing inspection items, capturing inspection data, and transmitting results. This multi-functional device replaces the need for multiple specialized documentation items, reducing the quantity of substances while improving ease of operation through a unified interface.
3Measurement precision
If the system displays detailed information for each electric facility, then workers can perform thorough inspections, but the interface becomes complex and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the inspection information display into hierarchical levels. The terminal first displays overview information about the electric facility, and only when needed does it expand to show detailed inspection items and results. This segmentation allows thorough inspection capability while maintaining a simple, navigable interface by presenting information in manageable portions rather than all at once.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing system includes a specifying unit specifying an electric facility to be an inspection target based on: information indicating positions of a plurality of electric facilities included in a line map including information indicating the positions of the plurality of electric facilities and information indicating a connection route between the electric facilities; and information indicating a position of an information processing terminal. The system further includes a display controller to: control the information processing terminal to display information indicating that the electric facility is finished with inspection on the line map based on information indicating an inspection result of the electric facility to be the inspection target specified by the specifying unit; and change a display state of the connection route displayed on the information processing terminal in the case where an adjacent electric facility connected to the electric facility by the connection route is finished with inspection.
