Work Analysis Device Overlay Selection Screen
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing work analysis methods face inefficiencies due to a low linkage between setting motion delimitation and selecting attribute information, leading to increased analyst load and reduced work efficiency, especially when analyzing repetitive video images of work processes.
Innovation Solution
A work analysis device and method that displays a selection screen for attribute information directly on the video playback screen, allowing for seamless delimitation and attribute selection without breaking the analyst's line of sight, enabling collective selection of attribute information and reducing the number of operations required.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the selection screen for attribute information is displayed separately from the video playback screen, then the interface layout is simple and easy to implement, but the analyst must move their line of sight between screens, increasing operation time and reducing work efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the selection screen for attribute information with the video playback screen by displaying the selection screen as a overlay on the playback screen. This allows the analyst to perform delimitation operations and select attribute information without moving their line of sight between separate screens, thereby improving ease of operation while maintaining a manageable interface layout through the overlay approach
2Productivity
If the selection screen is displayed as a separate window, then the interface is easy to implement, but the amount of screen space required increases and the analyst's workflow is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements the selection screen as an overlay that is nested within the video playback screen. This nested display approach allows the selection screen to occupy only the necessary portion of the display area while remaining visually integrated with the playback screen, thereby improving productivity by maintaining continuous workflow without requiring additional separate screen space
3Ease of operation
If attribute information selection requires multiple separate operations, then each operation can be processed individually, but the number of operations increases and analyst load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the delimitation operation and attribute information selection into a single integrated workflow. When the analyst performs a delimitation operation on the playback screen, the system automatically displays the selection screen for attribute information in an overlay manner, allowing the analyst to complete both tasks in sequence without interrupting their workflow or increasing the number of separate operations required

AI summary
A linkage between work for setting delimitation of motions and work for setting attribute information for the motions is improved. A work analysis device 10 includes a video image data acquisition unit 110 that acquires a video image obtained by imaging a series of motions performed by a worker, a delimitation operation reception unit 131 that receives a delimitation operation for setting a motion delimitation in the video image, a selection screen display control unit 122 that executes a process for displaying a selection screen for selecting attribute information to be associated with a video image range delimited by the delimitation operation at a timing when the delimitation operation is received by the delimitation operation reception unit 131, and a storage control unit 140 that stores the attribute information selected through the selection screen in association with the video image range.
