Abstract
La présente invention a pour objet de faciliter une détermination plus sûre par un employé d'une zone apte au travail pendant l'utilisation d'une machine de travail autonome. Dans la présente invention, des informations indiquant des zones divisées obtenues en divisant virtuellement une zone de travail sont acquises. La position d'un employé est spécifiée. Le fait que l'employé se trouve ou non près de la machine de travail autonome est déterminé sur la base de la position de l'employé dans les zones divisées. Lorsqu'il est déterminé que l'employé se trouve près de la machine de travail autonome, une notification est délivrée à un terminal dont l'employé est en possession.
