WORK STATUS MONITORING SYSTEM, WORK STATUS MONITORING METHOD, AND WORK STATUS MONITORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18242582 titled 'WORK STATUS MONITORING SYSTEM, WORK STATUS MONITORING METHOD, AND WORK STATUS MONITORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a work status monitoring system that includes various units for detecting events, generating an event network, adjusting the resolution of the network, converting the network into information, and outputting the result of the conversion.

  • Event detection unit: Detects multiple events in a work area.
  • Network generation unit: Creates an event network with nodes representing detected events and edges indicating the order of event generation.
  • Adjustment unit: Modifies the resolution of the event network to a specified level.
  • Conversion unit: Converts the adjusted event network into information showing the relationship between the order of event occurrences.
  • Output unit: Displays the result of the conversion process.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics to monitor work status and improve efficiency.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient monitoring of work status in real-time. 2. Providing a visual representation of event occurrences and their order.

Benefits

1. Enhanced visibility into work area events. 2. Improved decision-making based on event relationships. 3. Increased productivity and efficiency in work processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

Enhancing Work Status Monitoring in Various Industries

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle large volumes of events in a work area?

The patent application does not provide details on how the system manages a high number of events detected in a work environment.

What security measures are in place to protect the event network data?

The document does not mention any specific security protocols or encryption methods to safeguard the event network information.


Original Abstract Submitted

A work status monitoring system includes: an event detection unit configured to detect a plurality of events that have occurred in a work area; a network generation unit configured to generate an event network composed of a plurality of nodes indicating the plurality of events detected by the event detection unit and a plurality of edges indicating an order of generation of the plurality of nodes; an adjustment unit configured to adjust a resolution of the event network generated by the network generation unit to a specified resolution; a conversion unit configured to convert the event network of which the resolution has been adjusted by the adjustment unit into information indicating a relationship of an order of occurrences of a plurality of events; and an output unit configured to output a result of the conversion by the conversion unit.
