Operation support system, operation support device, and operation support method

An operation support device, which is portable by a field operator, for supporting an operation to each facility installed in a plant, the operation support device comprising:

• an inspection information processor configured to add information regarding the operations performed to the facility to historical data representing the operation performed in the facility, and to output a current position information regarding a position of the operation support device where the operation is performed to the facility that is associated with the historical data;
• a processor-based operation supporter configured to:
• compare the current position information to a past position information of a position where the operation was performed to the facility, the past position information being included in the historical data;
• determine which position of the past position is closest to the current position;
• display operation information regarding a plurality of solution operations performed to the facility installed on the past position which is determined to be closest to the current position;
• and
• execute one or more functions to perform at least one solution operation selected from the plurality of solution operations displayed;
• a processor-based supporter behavior detector configured to detect behavior of the operation support device, and output supporter behavior information representing the detected behavior;
• and
• a processor-based operator behavior determiner configured to:
• determine behavior of the field operator, based on at least one of a position of the field operator based on the current position information, an amount of movement of the field operator based on the current position information, and an amount of motion of the field operator based on the supporter behavior information;
• and
• output operator behavior information representing the determined behavior of the field operator,
• wherein the operator behavior determiner is configured to determine that the behavior of the field operator is in a stopping state in a case in which the position of the field operator is on an inspection route representing the order of performance of one or more operations to each facility in the plant, the amount of movement is not changed, and the amount of motion of the field operator is small, and
• wherein in a case in which the operator behavior determiner determines that the behavior of the field operator is in the stopping state, the operation supporter is configured to display the plurality of solution operations included in the historical data and associated with a facility at the current position of the operation support device.

An operation supporting method for supporting an operation to each facility installed in a plant, the operation supporting method comprising:

• by an operation support device,
• adding information regarding the operation performed to the facility to historical data representing the operation performed in the facility, and outputting current position information regarding position where the operation was performed to the facility that is associated with the historical data to data storage;
• comparing the current position information to a past position information of a position where the operation was performed to the facility, the past position information being included in the historical data;
• determining which position of the past position is closest to the current position;
• displaying operation information regarding a plurality of solution operations performed to the facility installed on the past position which is determined to be closest to the current position;
• executing one or more functions to perform at least one solution operation selected from the plurality of solution operations displayed;
• detecting behavior of the operation support device, and outputting supporter behavior information representing the detected behavior;
• and
• determining behavior of a field operator, based on at least one of a position of the field operator based on the current position information, an amount of movement of the field operator based on the current position information, and an amount of motion of the field operator based on the supporter behavior information, and
• outputting operator behavior information representing the determined behavior of the field operator,
• wherein determining the behavior of the field operator comprises determining that the behavior of the field operator is in a stopping state in a case in which the position of the field operator is on an inspection route representing the order of performance of one or more operations to each facility in the plant, the amount of movement is not changed, and the amount of motion of the field operator is small, and
• wherein in a case in which the behavior of the field operator is determined to be in the stopping state, outputting the operator behavior information comprises displaying the plurality of solution operations included in the historical data and associated with a facility at the current position of the operation support device.
