Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If remote operator terminals are assigned without considering their status, then assignment process is simple, but remote operation accuracy decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary assessment of terminal status (communication quality, controller health, environment) before assignment and pre-calculates suitability scores. This advance preparation ensures accurate matching without adding complexity to the actual assignment execution, as the evaluation work is done beforehand.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual or simple automated terminal assessment with an automated evaluation system that uses sensors, communication modules, and processing units to objectively measure terminal status. This substitution enables precise, data-driven assignment decisions while maintaining computational efficiency through algorithmic scoring.
2Reliability
If terminal status evaluation is performed in real time, then remote operation accuracy is ensured, but system resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs terminal status evaluation periodically rather than continuously, assessing terminal suitability at defined intervals (e.g., before each assignment, or at scheduled checkpoints). This periodic approach maintains reliable assessment accuracy while significantly reducing computational overhead and energy consumption compared to continuous monitoring.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs comprehensive terminal evaluation in advance before assignments are needed, pre-calculating suitability scores and storing results. This preliminary assessment eliminates the need for repeated real-time evaluations during operation, reducing resource consumption while ensuring reliability when assignments are made.
3Measurement precision
If multiple terminal status parameters are evaluated, then assignment accuracy improves, but calculation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The evaluation system divides terminal status assessment into separate modular components: communication status evaluation, controller health evaluation, environmental condition evaluation, and suitability score calculation. Each module independently assesses specific parameters and contributes to the final score, making the complex multi-parameter evaluation manageable and computationally efficient.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms multiple diverse terminal status parameters (communication quality, controller temperature, environmental conditions) into a unified suitability score through standardized normalization and weighting. This parameter transformation enables accurate multi-dimensional assessment while simplifying the calculation process by converting complex parameters into comparable numerical values that can be aggregated efficiently.

AI summary
A remote operating system (1) for a remote operation of a mobility device includes one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to acquire terminal status information (STA-T) indicating a status of a remote operator terminal (200) configured to be used by a remote operator (O) for the remote operation, and calculate a terminal score (SCR-T) indicating a suitability of the remote operator terminal (200) for the remote operation based on the terminal status information (STA-T). The terminal score (SCR-T) is used to select a first remote operator terminal (200-X) to be assigned to the remote operation of a target mobility device (100-X).
