CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18454990 titled 'CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that processes requests and responses between agents to determine task importance and task selection for optimal task execution.
- Request response processing unit calculates whether to request help and respond to requests from other agents.
- Importance processing unit calculates task importance based on request and response parameters.
- Task selection unit selects tasks based on importance.
- Task execution unit controls agent to perform selected tasks.
- Potential Applications
- Task management systems - Multi-agent systems - Autonomous robots
- Problems Solved
- Efficient task prioritization - Effective task delegation - Optimal task execution
- Benefits
- Improved task management - Enhanced coordination between agents - Increased productivity and efficiency
Original Abstract Submitted
A request response processing unit calculates, based on observation information about the agent, at least one other agent near the agent, and the task, a request parameter as to whether or not to request help, and a response parameter as to whether or not to respond to a request from the at least one other agent. An importance processing unit performs processing for calculating, based on at least the request parameter of the at least one other agent and the response parameter of the agent, importance of each of the tasks for the agent. A task selection unit selects the task to be performed by the agent according to the importance. A task execution unit controls the agent so that it performs the selected task.
