MANAGEMENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17955573 titled 'MANAGEMENT DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The management device described in the patent application acquires position information from multiple autonomous working machines, corrects the position information of machines with lower accuracy based on those with higher accuracy, and notifies the corrected information to the respective machines.

  • Acquisition unit acquires position information from at least two autonomous working machines.
  • Correction unit corrects the position information of a machine with lower accuracy based on a machine with higher accuracy.
  • Notification unit notifies the corrected position information to the respective machine.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various industries where multiple autonomous machines need to work together and maintain accurate positioning, such as agriculture, construction, and logistics.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures accurate positioning of autonomous working machines. 2. Facilitates coordination and collaboration among multiple machines.

Benefits

1. Improved efficiency and productivity in operations. 2. Reduced errors and rework due to accurate positioning. 3. Enhanced safety by ensuring machines are in the correct position.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing fleet management in agriculture Improving construction site coordination Enhancing warehouse operations in logistics

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that use GPS technology to track and manage the movement of multiple vehicles or assets in real-time.

Unanswered Questions

How does the correction unit determine the extent of correction needed for the position information of the second autonomous working machine?

The patent application does not provide specific details on the algorithm or method used by the correction unit to determine the correction needed for the position information of the second autonomous working machine.

What measures are in place to ensure the security and privacy of the acquired position information from the autonomous working machines?

The patent application does not address the security protocols or encryption methods used to protect the acquired position information from unauthorized access or misuse.


Original Abstract Submitted

A management device includes an acquisition unit, a correction unit, and a notification unit. The acquisition unit acquires, from each of at least two of autonomous working machines, position information calculated by the autonomous working machine based on satellite signals. Based on the position information of a first autonomous working machine having relatively high positional accuracy, the correction unit corrects the position information of a second autonomous working machine having relatively low positional accuracy. The notification unit notifies the second autonomous working machine of the position information that has been corrected.
