==Dynamic Operational Adjustment of Mobile Worker Edge Devices by a Mobile Controller Edge Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134371 titled 'Dynamic Operational Adjustment of Mobile Worker Edge Devices by a Mobile Controller Edge Device

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for adjusting the navigation path of a worker land roaming edge device when it is unable to reach an asset due to environmental changes. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* Worker land roaming edge device identified moving along a navigation path to an asset.
* Determination made that the device cannot reach the asset due to environmental changes.
* Set of task performance alternatives generated.
* Task performance alternative selected based on criteria.
* Navigation path of the device adjusted according to the selected alternative.
* Adjusted navigation path sent to the device for dynamic operation adjustment.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology described in this patent application could be applied in various industries where workers use roaming edge devices to perform tasks in changing environments. For example, it could be used in construction sites, warehouses, or agricultural fields.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of worker land roaming edge devices being unable to reach assets due to unexpected environmental changes along their navigation paths. By generating task performance alternatives and adjusting the navigation path accordingly, the devices can still complete their tasks efficiently.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency in task performance, adaptability to changing environments, and improved overall productivity of workers using roaming edge devices.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the field of logistics, where worker land roaming edge devices are used to transport goods within a warehouse or distribution center. By adjusting their navigation paths in response to environmental changes, the devices can ensure timely and accurate delivery of goods.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of GPS navigation systems in autonomous vehicles to adjust their routes in real-time based on traffic conditions or road closures. This concept of dynamic route adjustment based on changing conditions is similar to the technology described in the patent application.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the device determine that it cannot reach the asset due to environmental changes? ===
The patent application does not provide specific details on the sensors or algorithms used by the device to detect environmental changes along its navigation path.

=== What criteria are used to select the task performance alternative? ===
The patent application does not elaborate on the specific criteria or decision-making process involved in selecting the task performance alternative from the set of alternatives generated.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

adjusting a navigation path of a worker land roaming edge device is provided. the worker land roaming edge device is identified moving along a navigation path to an asset to perform a task. it is determined that the worker land roaming edge device cannot reach the asset to perform the task due to an environment change along the navigation path. a set of task performance alternatives is generated in response to determining that the worker land roaming edge device cannot reach the asset to perform the task. a task performance alternative of the set of task performance alternatives is selected based on a set of criteria. the navigation path of the worker land roaming edge device is adjusted in accordance with the selected task performance alternative. the adjusted navigation path is sent to the worker land roaming edge device to dynamically adjust operation of the worker land roaming edge device.
