Remote Work Selection Interface for Operator Time-Slot Choice
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote manipulation systems for construction machines lack the operator's ability to selectively choose preferable operations among those ordered, resulting in a limited range of selectivity for operators.
Innovation Solution
An operation selection system that includes a remote manipulating device, an orderer terminal, and a server, which generates and displays an operation selection image combining operation content and time sets, allowing operators to select desired time segments and transmit their selections for order acceptance management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the remote manipulation system presents all ordered operations to the operator without selection options, then the orderer can efficiently manage operations, but the operator has a small permissible range of selectivity
Solution Approach 1:
The operation time set is segmented into multiple selectable time segments, allowing the operator to choose specific time periods within the overall operation timeframe. This segmentation enables the operator to select preferred time segments while the orderer maintains overall operation management efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically presents multiple operation options with different time segments to the operator, allowing flexible selection based on operator availability and preferences. The interface adapts to show selectable time segments, transforming a static operation assignment into a dynamic selection process.
2Ease of operation
If the system requires the operator to visit the work site for operation, then the operator can directly perform the operation, but the operator cannot adopt flexible work styles of changing work sites depending on desired time segments
Solution Approach 1:
The operation time set is divided into multiple selectable time segments, enabling the operator to choose specific periods for remote operation. This allows the operator to work from different locations during different time segments, achieving both direct operation capability and work style flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote manipulation system acts as an intermediary between the operator and the construction machine, allowing the operator to perform operations remotely without physically visiting the work site. The system mediates the operation execution while providing flexible time segment selection.
Data Source
AI summary
A server includes: a communication part which receives from an orderer terminal operation request information input by an orderer and including a specific operation content and an operation time set for the specific operation content; and a display data generation part which generates based on the operation request information display data on which a master device displays an operation selection image showing the operation content and the operation time set in combination with each other to allow a selection of a desired time segment of the operation time set. The master device includes: a display control part which generates the operation selection image based on the display data so that a display part displays the operation selection image; and an operation part which receives a selection instruction of the operator that the operator selects the desired time segment of the operation time set shown in the operation selection image.
