UAV Inspection Notification Prioritization for Faster Worker Decisions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) require inspection at a base, workers face challenges in quickly prioritizing notifications due to the need to manage information from multiple UAVs, potentially leading to delayed necessary actions.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that utilizes a base management server to display a notification list on a worker's terminal, identifying and controlling the display of UAV statuses to prioritize notifications based on their status and proximity to the worker, ensuring timely and efficient decision-making.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the worker receives notifications for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles simultaneously, then the worker can be informed of all UAV statuses, but the worker takes more time to decide which notification to prioritize
Solution Approach 1:
The notification list displays different notification items with different visual priorities based on their importance. High-priority notifications are displayed with prominent visual characteristics (such as different colors, positions, or icons) to distinguish them from low-priority notifications, allowing workers to quickly identify which notifications require immediate attention without having to read through all notifications in detail.
Solution Approach 2:
The system generates and displays simplified notification items that represent the essential information from multiple UAV status updates. Instead of presenting raw data from all UAVs, the system creates standardized notification copies with clear priority indicators, enabling workers to make quick decisions based on the summarized and prioritized information.
2Loss of information
If the notification list displays all UAV information equally, then complete information is provided, but the worker cannot quickly identify critical notifications
Solution Approach 1:
The notification list applies different visual characteristics to different notification items based on their priority level. High-priority notifications are displayed with distinctive visual markers (such as different background colors, text styles, or positions in the list) while maintaining all necessary information, allowing workers to quickly scan and identify critical notifications without losing any status information.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification list segments notifications by priority level, grouping or ordering them to highlight critical items. This segmentation allows workers to process notifications in order of importance, improving inspection efficiency while ensuring that no UAV status information is lost, as all notifications remain accessible in the list.

AI summary
The base management server MS causes a worker terminal Tm used by a worker Wm inspecting a drone Dn at a drone base Bm to display a notification list notifications including drone information of a plurality of the drones Dn under control of the drone base Bm, identifies a drone status of each of the drones Dn, identifies a notification priority of each drone Dn based on the identified drone status, and controls the display of the notification list according to the identified notification priority.
