Remote Operator Terminal Feedback for Maximum Input Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote operator terminals lack flexibility in accommodating multiple types of operation systems, leading to potential inaccuracies in remote operations due to the absence of mechanical ends and the inability of operators to recognize maximum operation amounts.
Innovation Solution
A remote operator terminal equipped with multiple types of operation systems, including high-end, pedal-less, gaze-based, mobile terminal, and software-based systems, along with a notification device to inform operators of maximum operation amounts, enabling accurate remote operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single remote operator terminal is provided with multiple types of operation systems, then the adaptability and flexibility of the terminal are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The remote operator terminal is designed to accommodate multiple types of operation systems (manual operation system, pedal-less operation system, gaze-based operation system, mobile terminal operation system, software-based operation system) within a single device. This multi-functional design allows the terminal to adapt to different operator preferences and requirements without requiring multiple separate devices, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.
2Ease of operation
If operation systems without mechanical ends are used, then the ease of operation is improved for certain operators, but the ability to recognize maximum operation amounts deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The notification device provides real-time feedback to the operator about the current operation amount and maximum operation amount, even when using operation systems without mechanical ends. This feedback mechanism ensures that operators can accurately recognize when they have reached the maximum operation amount, preventing information loss while maintaining the ease of operation benefits of non-mechanical systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification device uses visual indicators such as color changes to convey operation amount information to the operator. By changing colors or displaying visual cues, the system provides intuitive feedback about the current operation state and maximum limits, compensating for the absence of mechanical end indicators in non-mechanical operation systems.
3Measurement precision
If the notification device provides detailed information about operation amounts, then the measurement precision is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to increased information load
Solution Approach 1:
The notification device provides different levels of information detail in different contexts or situations. Rather than continuously displaying all possible information, the system selectively notifies operators about operation amounts based on their relevance and the current operational context, thereby maintaining measurement precision while avoiding excessive information load that would complicate operation.

AI summary
A remote operator terminal to be used by a remote operator for a remote operation of a target mobility is provided. The remote operator terminal includes: a plurality of types of operation systems; and a notification device configured to notify the remote operator of information. A first operation system is one of the plurality of types of operation systems. The information indicates a relationship between a maximum operation amount of the first operation system and a current operation amount of the first operation system input by the remote operator, or the information indicates that the current operation amount reaches the maximum operation amount.
