INFORMATION OUTPUT SYSTEM, INFORMATION OUTPUT METHOD, AND INFORMATION OUTPUT PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519655 titled 'INFORMATION OUTPUT SYSTEM, INFORMATION OUTPUT METHOD, AND INFORMATION OUTPUT PROGRAM
The patent application describes an information output system that involves acquiring an image of a workspace with an AGV, components, and a worker, determining which component to mount on the AGV based on mobile object information, and projecting a projection image indicating the determined component.
- Image acquisition means for capturing an image of a workspace with an AGV, components, and a worker.
- Determination means for identifying the component to be mounted on the AGV based on mobile object information.
- Image projection means for displaying a projection image showing the chosen component to be mounted on the AGV.
- Generation of a layout to change the position of a component based on the worker's movement flow line in the workspace.
- Projection of a modified position of the component in the layout.
Potential Applications: - Manufacturing industry for optimizing assembly processes. - Logistics industry for efficient handling of goods. - Robotics industry for enhancing automation processes.
Problems Solved: - Streamlining component mounting processes. - Improving worker efficiency in the workspace. - Enhancing overall workflow in industrial settings.
Benefits: - Increased productivity and efficiency. - Reduced errors in component mounting. - Enhanced worker safety in the workspace.

Original Abstract Submitted
An information output system according to this embodiment includes: image acquisition means for acquiring an image of a work space including an AGV, a plurality of components, and a worker; determination means for determining a component to be mounted to the AGV based on mobile object information and the like indicating the AGV shown in the acquired image; and image projection means for projecting a projection image including a reference projection image and the like indicating the component determined to be mounted to the AGV, in which: the determination means generates a layout for changing a position of a component based on an analysis of a flow line along which the worker moves in the work space; and the image projection means projects a projection image indicating the changed position of the component in the layout.
