Traveling Body Route Switching for Faster Abnormality Cause Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in quickly and reliably identifying the cause of abnormalities in traveling bodies, often requiring repetitive operation and analysis to determine the root cause.
Innovation Solution
A control server system that instructs a traveling body to travel on different routes based on detected abnormalities, acquiring state information from various monitored objects to facilitate determination of the cause.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the traveling body repeatedly captures images and stores them in time series to identify abnormality causes, then the reliability of abnormality cause identification is improved, but the loss of time and labor increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-acquires state information from multiple monitored objects along predetermined first and second routes before abnormalities occur. When an abnormality is detected, the already-collected information from the alternative route can be immediately analyzed, eliminating the need to reproduce operations after the abnormality occurs. This preliminary data collection approach directly reduces the time and labor required for post-abnormality analysis while maintaining identification reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a control server as an intermediary that centrally manages and analyzes state information from multiple monitored objects along different routes. Rather than manually reproducing and analyzing operations, the control server automatically processes the pre-collected state information, acting as a mediator between the traveling body's operations and the abnormality analysis process. This intermediary system efficiently handles the information processing burden.
2Ease of operation
If the traveling body follows a single predetermined route for monitoring, then the ease of operation is improved, but the ability to identify abnormality causes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system is segmented into multiple independent monitored objects located along different routes (first route and second route). Each monitored object provides state information independently, and the control server integrates this segmented information to comprehensively analyze abnormality causes. This segmentation allows the traveling body to maintain simple single-route operation while the system as a whole achieves reliable cause identification through multiple information sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to the monitoring system by introducing a second route parallel to the first route. Instead of relying solely on temporal analysis of a single route, the system collects state information from monitored objects distributed across multiple spatial dimensions (different routes). This dimensional expansion provides alternative perspectives for identifying abnormality causes without complicating the traveling body's operation.
Data Source
AI summary
A control server for controlling a traveling body includes an instruction unit to instruct the traveling body to travel on a first route and acquire state information of a first monitored object on the first route. Based on a determination of presence of an abnormality in a state of the first monitored object. the determination being made from the acquired state information. the instruction unit instructs the traveling body to travel on a second route different from the first route and acquire state information of a second monitored object being different from the first monitored object and located on the second route.
