==PROCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240054301 titled 'PROCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a process management system that includes a management unit, wireless devices, reading apparatus, and a determination unit to manage the positioning of management targets in a work process.

* Management unit manages section data defining sections in a real space and process data indicating the expected location of a management target.
* First wireless device stores identification information attached to the management target.
* Reading apparatus reads identification information from wireless devices.
* Determination unit checks the location of the management target and determines the status of the work process based on the comparison with the expected location.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Inventory management in warehouses
* Asset tracking in large facilities
* Workflow optimization in manufacturing plants

Problems solved by this technology:
* Ensures accurate positioning of management targets
* Improves efficiency in work processes
* Reduces errors in tracking and monitoring tasks

Benefits of this technology:
* Enhanced visibility and control over work processes
* Streamlined operations and resource allocation
* Increased productivity and accuracy in task completion.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a process management system includes a management unit that manages section data that defines sections in a real space and process data that indicates an expected location, from among the sections, in which a management target is to be positioned at the time of completing a work process, a first wireless device that is attached to the management target and stores first identification information, at least one reading apparatus that is capable of reading identification information from a wireless device, and a determination unit that checks a location of the management target estimated based on a result of reading of the first identification information from the first wireless device against the expected location by variable granularity depending on type information associated with the management target to determine a status of the work process regarding the management target.
