Remote Work Support Layout for Clear Field of Vision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote work support systems face challenges in maintaining worker efficiency and safety due to the reduction in field of vision caused by display devices like eyeglass-type cameras, and the inability for workers to receive support images without a display device.
Innovation Solution
A remote work support system comprising a wearable device with an image capturing unit, voice input and output units, and a mobile terminal with a display unit, allowing site workers to receive support images and voice communications without compromising their field of vision.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If an eyeglass-type device with display is used to transmit images to the worker, then the worker can check the transmitted image, but the field of vision is reduced which may reduce work efficiency and cause danger
Solution Approach 1:
The display function is extracted from the wearable device and placed on a separate mobile terminal. The wearable device only captures and transmits images, while the mobile terminal handles display, thus eliminating the conflict between image transmission and field of vision.
Solution Approach 2:
A mobile terminal acts as an intermediary between the wearable device and the worker. The wearable device transmits images to the mobile terminal, which then displays them, allowing the worker to view images without wearing a display device that would block their field of vision.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a wearable device without display is used, then the field of vision is maintained, but the worker cannot check the transmitted image
Solution Approach 1:

Solution Approach 2:

3Object-affected harmful factors
If voice communication is used instead of display, then the field of vision is maintained, but the worker cannot visually check the object to work
Solution Approach 1:
The support system is segmented into multiple communication channels: voice communication for real-time interaction and image transmission for visual information. The mobile terminal displays transmitted images, providing visual information without requiring the worker to wear a display device.
Solution Approach 2:
A mobile terminal acts as an intermediary between the wearable device and the worker. The wearable device transmits images to the mobile terminal, which then displays them, allowing the worker to view images without wearing a display device that would block their field of vision.
