Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional support systems for on-site maintenance and training fail to efficiently reflect failures and changes in device specifications and work environments back into the training content, leading to time-consuming updates.

Innovation Solution

A content presentation system that utilizes three-dimensional shape information of work target devices and augmented reality to present training content, incorporating an operation measurement device to assess worker performance and a determination device to evaluate success or failure, with a content creation device updating training content based on measurement data to suppress failure factors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional support systems accumulate failure information in databases, then information availability improves, but training content update efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefailure informationVSAvoidtraining content update time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system establishes a feedback loop where failure information from on-site work is automatically captured by the operation measurement device, analyzed by the determination device, and used to trigger automatic updates of training content by the content creation device. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that failure information is continuously reflected in training materials without manual intervention, resolving the contradiction between information availability and update efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The training content update system performs self-service by automatically generating updated training content based on failure information without requiring manual curator intervention. The content creation device autonomously processes failure data, generates updated training materials, and makes them available, thereby eliminating the time-consuming manual update process while maintaining comprehensive failure information coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Manufacturing precision

If training content is manually updated to reflect device specification changes, then content accuracy improves, but maintenance time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining content accuracyVSAvoidcontent maintenance time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces the mechanical manual process of training content updates with an automated information processing system. The operation measurement device captures actual work data, the determination device analyzes deviations from standard procedures, and the content creation device automatically generates updated training content. This substitution of manual mechanical updating with automated digital processing maintains high content accuracy while dramatically reducing maintenance time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by continuously monitoring and capturing work operation data in real-time, so that when device specifications or work environments change, the training content is already prepared for update. The determination device proactively identifies changes by comparing actual operations with standard procedures, enabling timely automatic updates without requiring manual review of each change.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If comprehensive work information is collected for training updates, then training effectiveness improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The operation measurement device serves multiple functions: it captures work operation data, identifies failure patterns, provides feedback for training updates, and supports real-time worker guidance. By making this single device multi-functional, the system comprehensively collects work information without proportionally increasing overall system complexity, thereby maintaining training effectiveness while controlling complexity through functional consolidation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A content presentation system includes: a trainee terminal that presents training content to the trainee; a worker terminal used by a worker; a tool recognition device that acquires a work video of the worker and recognizes the tool being used by the worker; a determination device that determines success or failure of the work at a specific stage based on the information about the work tool recognized by the tool recognition device; and a content creation device that creates and updates the training content based on the determination result of the determination device. When the determination result is determined to be the failure of the work by the determination device, the content creation device identifies a portion of the training content corresponding to the specific stage in the work procedure and updates the portion of the training content so as to suppress a factor of the failure.
