The present invention relates to a technology for teaching or training a trainee about how an instructor operates a device. Instructors and trainees are located in remote locations.

In recent years, space development is rapidly progressing, and under the condition of zero gravity space, a new material test and a biotechnology test for determining the effect of weightlessness on life have been performed.

In order to perform a number of tests in a limited time in the alien space, a test apparatus is prepared on the ground for testing, provided to the rack, and mounted in the test module of the spacecraft. Fire this test module from the ground. While in space, the spacecraft performs tests along a defined orbit for a defined period of time.

For example, when testing a sample, minimal manipulations, such as loading and changing the sample, are performed manually at the beginning and end of the test. On the other hand, operations in a range such as heating and melting (setting time, temperature, etc.) and analyzing a component of the molten metal include connecting a control computer via a cable to a microcomputer provided to the test apparatus, and from the control computer to the microcomputer. This is done by entering test sequences, control quantities, etc. into the computer.

Based on the test sequence and control amount, the microcomputer melts the sample thermally and analyzes its components by controlling various instruments provided in the test apparatus, such as heating furnaces and handling instruments. In addition, the microcomputer generates a graph from the result data of the component analysis.

Because the number of researchers in test modules that travel around the globe in outer space is extremely limited, many tests must be performed with a small number of people. For this reason, prior to space travel, researchers must train and practice manipulations for each individual test.

Those who are trained (trainees), technicians who are familiar with the operation of test devices (instructors), and those who have detailed knowledge of the test content (assistant), such as the person who devised the test (the assistant center) Meet at)

During the training, the instructors (and assistants if necessary) teach the trainees how to enter test sequences, control quantities, etc. into the control computer. Workers are responsible for operations such as loading and changing samples.

However, in such training, instructors, trainees, and necessary assistants must meet at the training center, so the time and cost required to reach the training center cannot be ignored if the personnel reside in a remote location.

In particular, if the tests are carried out in international cooperation, they must travel abroad to perform the tests. In order to reschedule officials, the testing period is subject to inevitable constraints, and their transportation and accommodation costs are expensive.

An object of the present invention is to provide a remote training method, a remote training device, a remote training system. Another object of the present invention is to provide a distance teaching method, a distance teaching apparatus, and a distance teaching system. Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer-readable recording medium which, when executed, records a computer program for implementing the method according to the present invention. It is an object of the present invention to provide a technology capable of teaching or training trainees at an easy and low cost.

According to the present invention, the same training format is displayed for the instructor and the trainee. In addition, a computer having a display unit is provided to the instructor side and the trainee side, respectively, and the corresponding information is displayed on the corresponding display unit. The instructor and the trainee communicate with each other (voice communication), and any one of the instructor and the trainee inputs predetermined data in the format. When the instructor enters the data, it is sent to the computer provided to the trainee and displayed for the trainee. On the other hand, when the trainee enters data, it is transmitted to the computer provided to the instructor and displayed for the instructor. As such, the instructor and trainee perform the training based on the voice communication exchanged through the communication line. Thus, instructors and trainees can easily and cheaply perform various types of training without having to meet, and reduce time constraints.

Hereinafter, other objects and features of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The telephone 430 is connected to the network 200 and is used to enable voice instructor 320 and trainee 420 to communicate with each other during training related to the control computer 120.

The configuration of the training computers 310 and 410 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The training computer 310 includes a communication unit 315, a control unit 316, an input / output interface 317, and a memory 318. The communication unit 315 controls communication in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol.

The control unit 316 controls all parts of the training computer 310. The operation of this control section 316 will be described in detail later. The memory 318 stores the input format FA and all types of data input to the input format generation program 319 which automatically generates the input format FA. The input / output interface 317 functions as an interface between the control unit 316 and the display 312, the keyboard 313, and the mouse 314.

On the other hand, the training computer 410 includes a communication unit 415, a control unit 416, an input / output interface 417, and a memory 418. The communication unit 415 controls communication in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol.

The memory 418 stores the input format FB and all types of data input to the input format generation program 419 which automatically generates the input format FB. The input / output interface 417 functions as an interface between the control unit 416 and the display 412, the keyboard 413, and the mouse 414.

The operation of the first embodiment will be described below. Instructor 320 and trainee 420 communicate with each other using telephones 330 and 430. This is the beginning of training. Thereafter, the instructor 320 and the trainee 420 continue to talk to each other using the telephone until the training is finished.

Instructor 320 activates training computer 310 and inputs a command using the keyboard 313 to instruct the generation of an input format. Therefore, the control unit 316 executes the input format generation program 319 to generate the same input format FA as the input format FO. The input format FA is shown on the display 312 for the instructor 320.

The trainee 420 also activates the training computer 410 and inputs a command instructing the generation of the input format using the keyboard 413. Therefore, the control unit 416 executes the input format generation program 419 to generate the same input format FB as the input format FO. The input format FB is shown in the display 412 for the trainee 420.

At this point, the display 312 of Japan 300 and the display 412 of United States 400 shown in FIG. 1 are displaying the same input / output formats (input format FA and input format FB). Thus, this state is substantially the same as the instructor 320 and the trainee 420 met at the training center 100.

In this state, the instructor 320 uses input devices such as the mouse 314 and the keyboard 313 to input data necessary for operating the test apparatus 110 into the input format FA. While entering the data, the instructor 320 contacts the trainee 420 over the telephone and informs the trainee of the correct instructions, methods, and the like.

The control unit 316 displays data input by the instructor 320 in the input format FA displayed on the display 312, and also for training the trainee 420 through the communication unit 315 and the network 200. The operation is controlled to be transferred to the computer 410.

Thus, this data is input via the communication unit 415 to the control unit 416 which controls the operation so that this data is displayed in the input format FB of the display 412. That is, both display 312 and display 412 display the same data input by instructor 320. The trainee 420 is trained by the instructor 320 while in contact with the instructor 320 by phone and looking at the display 412.

Data input by the trainee 420 is also transmitted to the training computer 310 of the instructor 320. In other words, the data input by the trainee 420 by the controller 416 is displayed in the input format FB displayed on the display 412, and is also displayed by the instructor 320 through the communication unit 415 and the network 200. Is transmitted to the training computer 310 on the) side.

Accordingly, the data is input to the control unit 316 through the communication unit 315 and displayed by the control unit 316 in the input format FA of the display 312. That is, both display 312 and display 412 display the same data input by trainee 420. Thus, by checking the data displayed on the display 312, the instructor 320 can know the training result and the progress of the trainee 420.

In the above description of the first embodiment, the input format generation program 319 and the input format generation program 419 are held in the training computer 310 and the training computer 410, each of which has an input format FA and an input. An example of generating a format FB has been described. Alternatively, however, the input format generation program may be held only on one of the training computers.

For example, input format generation program 319 is retained in training computer 310, but input format generation program 419 is not retained in training computer 410. In this case, it is only necessary to transmit the input format FA generated by executing the input format generation program 319 of the training computer 310 to the training computer 410 via the network 200. Accordingly, training computer 410 displays the received input format FA on display 412. According to this configuration, the memory area of the memory 418 can be further reduced in the training computer 410.

The first embodiment described above has described an example in which phones 330 and 430 are used for voice contact during training. However, training may be conducted using a television conference system that transmits audio and video signals between the two sides. This case will be described below as a second embodiment.

The main body 441 controls coding / decoding of voice data, coding / decoding of video data, communication, and the like. According to the body 441, the monitor 442 displays an image of the instructor 320 captured by the CCD camera 345. The microphone 443 mainly converts the voice of the trainee 420 into voice data, and outputs the voice data to the main body 441.

The speaker 444 reproduces the voice data decoded by the main body 441 as the voice of the instructor 320. The CCD camera 445 is provided immediately behind or diagonally behind the trainee 420 to photograph the trainee 420 operating the training computer 410. The CCD camera 445 sends this image as image data to the main body 441. The main body 441 controls the zoom and angle of the CCD camera.

A television conferencing controller 500 connected to the network 200 temporarily receives audio data and image data from the main body 341 and the main body 441 and transmits them to the counterpart (ie, the main body 441 or the main body 341). .

The operation of the second embodiment will be described below. Instructor 320 and trainee 420 initiate training using television conference apparatus 340 and television conference apparatus 440. Voice of instructor 320 is trained 420 via microphone 343, main body 341, network 200, television conference controller 500, network 200, main body 441, and speaker 444. Is sent to.

Thereafter, the instructor 320 and the trainee 420 continue to communicate with each other by exchanging voice and image data using the television conference system while performing the training in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

Although the first and second embodiments described examples in which the instructor 320 and the trainee 420 perform training related to the operation of the control computer 120, the training may include direct operation of the test apparatus 110. It may be. This case will be described as the third embodiment.

Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing the construction of the third embodiment. In this figure, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In FIG. 6, a training container 100 is provided with a sample container 113, a laser oscillator 114, a CCD camera 115, an image processor 170, and a display 171.

The sample container 113 is provided to the test apparatus 110 and holds a sample for testing. The laser oscillator 114 emits laser light to the sample of the sample container 113. The CCD camera 115 photographs the change of the sample of the sample container 113, etc.

That is, the image picked up by the CCD camera 115 represents the test state of the test apparatus 110. An image processor 170 connected to the local area network 140 processes image data from the CCD camera 115 and displays it on the display 171. For example, a test status screen (YO; see FIG. 8) is shown on display 171.

Fig. 7 is a block diagram showing the detailed configuration of the third embodiment. In this figure, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals. The support server 160 shown in FIG. 7 includes a control unit 161, a memory 162, and a network card 163.

The controller 161 controls the execution of instructions related to the operation of the test apparatus 110. The operation of the controller 161 will be described in detail. The memory 162 stores the management database DB shown in FIG. The management database DB holds various types of data such as "receive order", "operation command", "completion flag", "action result data", and "sender data".

"Receive Order" includes data indicative of a sequence in which support server 160 received operation instructions from training computer 310 and training computer 410. Here, the operation command is commands for controlling all parts of the test apparatus 110. In outer space, the astronauts use the control computer 120 to input operation commands.

“Operation Instructions” includes data indicative of the type of operation instructions sent from training computer 310 and training computer 410. "Completion flag" is a flag indicating whether the execution of the operation command is completed, wherein a value of "1" indicates completion of the command and "0" indicates that execution is incomplete. "Action result data" includes data representing the action result of the test apparatus 110 after the operation command is completed. "Sender data" is data for identifying the sender of the operation command, where "PA" is instructor 320 and "PB" is trainee 420.

The operation of the third embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In step SA1, the control unit 161 of the support server 160 determines whether an operation command has been received from the training computer 310 or the training computer 410. If the determination result is "no", the control unit 161 repeats the same determination process.

For training purposes, when instructor 320 uses keyboard 313 to enter an action command in input format FA (see FIG. 3), controller 316 identifies sender data (identifying that it is instructor 320). The operation command CA, together with the PA, is transmitted to the support server 160 via the communication unit 315, the network 200, the router 150, and the local area network 140.

When the control unit 161 receives the operation command CA and the sender data PA via the network card 163, the determination result in step SA1 is YES. In step SA2, the control unit 161 sets the operation command CA and the sender data PA to the first record (receiving order = 1) of the management database DB shown in FIG.

In step SA3, the controller 161 transmits an operation command CA to the test apparatus 110 via the network card 163, the local area network 140, the control computer 120, and the cable 130. Thus, the test apparatus 110 operates according to the operation command CA.

In step SA4, the controller 161 determines whether the action based on the operation command CA is completed. If the result of this determination is "no", the control unit 161 repeats the determination process until the action is completed. When the action is completed, the controller 161 determines the result of "Yes" in step SA4. In step SA5, the control unit 161 sets the completion flag to 1 (completion) in the first record (receiving order = 1) of the management database DB shown in FIG.

In step SA6, the controller 161 outputs the action result from the test apparatus 110 via the test apparatus 110, the cable 130, the control computer 120, the local area network 140, and the network card 163. Extract the data JA. Next, the control unit 161 sets the action result data JA in the first record (receiving order = 1) of the management database DB shown in FIG.

In step SA7, the control unit 161 transmits the action result data JA to the training computers 310 and 410 via the network card 163, the router 150, and the network 200. Accordingly, action result data JA corresponding to the operation command CA input by the instructor 320 is displayed on the displays 312 and 412.

In step SA8, the control unit 161 determines whether the next operation command (in this case, operation command CC, reception order = 2) is set in the management database DB. If the determination result is "no", then the control unit 161 sequentially executes the process from step SA1. In addition, if the determined result in step SA8 is YES, the control unit 161 sequentially executes the process from step SA3.

During the training, an image recorded by the CCD camera 115 (state of the sample of the sample container 113; see FIG. 6) is input to the image processor 170 as image data and image-processed. Thus, the test status screen YO shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display 171.
