Field Work Tracking by Ridge and Operation Status Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing work management systems for field firming cannot perform meticulous management of work time in finer units, such as per ridge, which is necessary for efficient field operations.
Innovation Solution
A work management method and system that determines the operation status and work location of a work device in a field, specifically identifying the ridge on which work is performed, and outputs this information in a display image associating the operation status with the work location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If work management is performed using conventional methods that track work devices in fields, then general work monitoring is achieved, but meticulous management in finer units such as per ridge cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the field into multiple ridges and tracks the work device's position and operation status for each specific ridge. The management device divides the field area into plurality of ridges, and determines which ridge the work device is currently working on, enabling ridge-level work management information to be generated and displayed separately.
2Measurement precision
If the field is divided into multiple ridges for detailed tracking, then ridge-level work management is achieved, but the complexity of the management system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a map as a simplified representation (copy) of the actual field layout, including ridge configurations. The management device generates and displays a map showing the plurality of ridges and the current work device position, allowing complex spatial relationships to be visualized in a simplified format that reduces system complexity while maintaining accuracy.
3Productivity
If work information is displayed in detailed units per ridge, then work efficiency in specific areas is improved, but the ease of operation for users decreases due to information complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying different types of information in different areas of the interface. The work information display screen shows ridge-level details (work device position, operation status, work time) in a structured layout that presents complex information in an organized, easy-to-read format, maintaining simplicity while providing detailed insights.

AI summary
A work management method includes determining, based on operation information of a work device that performs work in a field, an operation status of the work device at each time. The work management method includes determining, based on the operation information of the work device, a ridge on which the work device performed work at each time. Furthermore, the work management method includes outputting work information indicating a display image, representing the operation status of the work device and the ridge on which the work device performed work in association with each other at each time.
