Abstract
A task resumption system including processing circuitry that receives a task resumption specification for task resumption by a device when the device, which sequentially performs multiple tasks, stops during processing, acquires a current state of the device, acquires a resume state corresponding to the task resumption of the device, causes the device to transition from the current state to the resume state, and causes the device to resume the task according to the resume state.
Claims20
A task resumption system, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- put a device, which sequentially performs multiple tasks, in a basic state when the device stops during processing, by causing the device to return to an initial configuration of the device, the initial configuration of the device including a predetermined posture of the device,
- receive a task resumption specification for task resumption by the device when the device stops during processing,
- acquire a current state of the device,
- acquire a resume state corresponding to the task resumption of the device,
- cause the device to transition from the current state to the resume state, and
- cause the device to resume the task according to the resume state, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to
- cause the device to operate based on a protocol chart in which one or more processing symbols identifying one or more of the multiple tasks are arranged, and
- cause the device to resume the task based on a selection, by a user via the protocol chart, of a processing symbol of the one or more processing symbols associated with the task.
A method for task resumption, comprising:
- putting a device, which sequentially performs multiple tasks, in a basic state when the device stops during processing, by causing the device to return to an initial configuration of the device, the initial configuration of the device including a predetermined posture of the device;
- receiving a task resumption specification by the device when the device stops during processing;
- acquiring a current state of the device;
- acquiring a resume state corresponding to a task resumption of the device;
- causing the device to transition from the current state to the resume state;
- and
- causing the device to resume the task according to the resume state, wherein
- the method further comprises
- causing the device to operate based on a protocol chart in which one or more processing symbols identifying one or more of the multiple tasks are arranged;
- and
- causing the device to resume the task based on a selection, by a user via the protocol chart, of a processing symbol of the one or more processing symbols associated with the task.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program that when executed by a computer causes the computer to implement a method for task resumption, comprising:
- putting a device, which sequentially performs multiple tasks, in a basic state when the device stops during processing, by causing the device to return to an initial configuration of the device, the initial configuration of the device including a predetermined posture of the device;
- receiving a task resumption specification for task resumption by the device when the device stops during processing;
- acquiring a current state of the device;
- acquiring a resume state corresponding to the task resumption of the device;
- causing the device to transition from the current state to the resume state;
- and
- causing the device to resume the task according to the resume state, wherein the method further comprises
- causing the device to operate based on a protocol chart in which one or more processing symbols identifying one or more of the multiple tasks are arranged;
- and
- causing the device to resume the task based on a selection, by a user via the protocol chart, of a processing symbol of the one or more processing symbols associated with the task.
