SUPPORT DEVICE DEPLOYMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806509 titled 'SUPPORT DEVICE DEPLOYMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for providing a support device to assist personnel in performing tasks. The method involves receiving data values from various devices, including IoT and wearable devices, associated with the task being performed. These data values are compared to historical data values to identify the task being performed. If the received values exceed a predetermined threshold, it is determined whether the personnel require assistance. If assistance is needed, a support device is instructed to perform an action to assist the personnel.

  • The method receives data values from IoT and wearable devices.
  • The received data values are compared to historical data values.
  • The method identifies the task being performed by the personnel.
  • If the received values exceed a predetermined threshold, it is determined whether assistance is required.
  • If assistance is needed, a support device is instructed to assist the personnel.

Potential Applications

  • Industrial settings where personnel perform complex tasks that require monitoring and assistance.
  • Healthcare environments where wearable devices and IoT devices can provide data on patient care tasks.
  • Construction sites where safety and efficiency can be improved by monitoring and assisting personnel.

Problems Solved

  • Lack of real-time monitoring and assistance for personnel performing tasks.
  • Difficulty in identifying when personnel require assistance.
  • Inefficient use of resources due to manual monitoring and assistance.

Benefits

  • Improved safety and efficiency in task performance.
  • Real-time monitoring and assistance for personnel.
  • Optimal use of resources by providing assistance only when needed.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method providing a support device to assist personnel includes receiving data values from various devices associated with a task being performed by personnel, wherein the various devices include at least one Internet of Things (IoT) device and at least one wearable device. The method also includes comparing the received data values to historical data values associated with a pre-established knowledge corpus and identifying the task being performed by the personnel. In response to determining the received values exceed the historical values by a predetermined threshold for the task being performed by the personnel, the method includes determining whether the personnel require assistance with performing the task. In response to determining the personnel requires assistance with performing the task, the method includes instructing a support device to perform an action to assist the personnel with performing the task.
