Operation Selection Interface for Remote Device Assignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a demand for an operation selection system that allows operators to easily select desired operations and remote manipulating devices for executing those operations using an information terminal device, but such a system does not currently exist.
Innovation Solution
An operation selection system that includes an information terminal device and a server connected via a network. The server has databases for storing operation request information and remote manipulating device information, and generates display data to allow the operator to select desired operations and devices through the terminal device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If no operation selection system is established, then operators cannot easily select desired operations and remote manipulating devices, but the lack of such a system results in inefficiency and difficulty in operation assignment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an operation selection system as an intermediary between operators and remote manipulating devices. This system includes a terminal device that displays available operations and devices, allows operators to select matching pairs, and automatically transmits the selection information to the remote device. This intermediary system resolves the contradiction by making operation selection easy for operators while simultaneously improving operational efficiency through automated matching and assignment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If remote manipulating devices are provided in various facilities including rental offices, then operators gain flexibility in accessing operations, but the complexity of managing and coordinating these distributed devices increases
Solution Approach 1:
The operation selection system is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple distributed remote manipulating devices across various facilities. The terminal device displays and manages operations from multiple locations, and the selection mechanism works uniformly regardless of which facility or device is involved. This universal design allows operators to access operations flexibly from rental offices or other locations while the system automatically manages the complexity of coordinating these distributed resources through a single unified interface.

AI summary
A server causes an information terminal device to display a selection image for allowing an operator to select a desired operation among one or more operations and a desired master device among one or more master devices based on operation request information stored in a first database and master device information stored in a second database. The information terminal device sends to the server a selection instruction of the operator who selects the desired operation and the desired master device via the selection image. The server receives an operation order acceptance of the operator by storing, in an operation plan database, an operator ID, a master device ID and the operation designated by the selection instruction in combination with one another.
