Solution Overview

Problem

The accuracy of remote operation of a mobility is compromised when a remote operator terminal that does not meet the required specifications is assigned to the task.

Innovation Solution

A remote operation system that acquires terminal specification information for each remote operator terminal and required capability information for the target mobility, and assigns a suitable remote operator terminal that meets the required specifications for accurate remote operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a remote operator terminal is assigned without checking specifications, then assignment speed is improved, but remote operation accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassignment speedVSAvoidremote operation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary registration of terminal specification information for each remote operator terminal in advance. When a remote operation request is received, the management server can quickly match the required specifications with pre-registered terminal specifications without performing detailed checks during the assignment process, thus maintaining both high assignment speed and accurate matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If terminal specification checking is performed for each assignment, then remote operation accuracy is improved, but assignment processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote operation accuracyVSAvoidassignment processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Terminal specification information is registered and stored in the management server in advance before any assignment occurs. This preliminary action allows the system to perform rapid matching during assignment by comparing required specifications against pre-stored terminal specifications, eliminating the need for time-consuming real-time verification while ensuring accurate matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If generic terminal is used for all remote operations, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different mobility types deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal varietyVSAvoidcompatibility with different mobility
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system manages multiple terminal types with different specifications by registering and storing specification parameters for each terminal. The management server selects appropriate terminals by matching required specification parameters with available terminal parameters, enabling flexible adaptation to different mobility types and operation requirements while maintaining a structured approach to terminal diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
