Abstract
An electronic apparatus instructs an operation of at least a part of a control target device via wireless communication. The electronic apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire communication quality information of the wireless communication between the electronic apparatus and the control target device, acquire first information indicating a degree of a risk that can be caused by the operation, and generate a control signal instructing the operation based on the communication quality information and the first information.
Claims12
An electronic apparatus that instructs an operation of at least a part of a control target device via wireless communication, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine a control plan instructing the operation of the at least the part of the control target device;
- acquire communication quality information indicative of a communication quality of the wireless communication between the electronic apparatus and the control target device;
- acquire risk information indicating a degree of a risk that can be caused by the operation of the at least the part of the control target device;
- and
- perform at least one of (i) a determination as to whether or not to change the control plan, based on the communication quality information and the risk information, and (ii) a change of the control plan, based on the communication quality information and the risk information,
- wherein the risk information comprises at least one of (i) first information taking into account a value of a material being conveyed by the control target device, (ii) second information taking into account a value of a periphery/surrounding area of the control target device, (iii) third information taking into account a value of the control target device, or (iv) fourth information taking into account a value of a delay of the operation of the at least the part of the control target device, and
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- compare a risk evaluation value based on the risk information with a first evaluation value;
- compare the communication quality with a first quality when the risk evaluation value is equal to or higher than the first evaluation value;
- compare the communication quality with a second quality when the risk evaluation value is not equal to or not higher than the first evaluation value, the second quality being lower than the first quality;
- and
- change the control plan to lower the risk evaluation value when the risk evaluation value is equal to or higher than the first evaluation value and the communication quality is not equal to or not higher than the first quality, or when the risk evaluation value is not equal to or not higher than the first evaluation value and the communication quality is not equal to or not higher than the second quality.

- wherein:
- the operation includes a first operation and a second operation different from each other, and
- the processor is configured to:
- determine a first control plan instructing the first operation;
- determine a second control plan instructing the second operation;
- compare a first risk evaluation value based on the risk information regarding the first operation with a second risk evaluation value based on the risk information regarding the second operation;
- compare the communication quality with a second quality when the first risk evaluation value is lower than the second risk evaluation value;
- change the first control plan to lower the first risk evaluation value when the communication quality is not equal to or higher than the second quality;
- compare the communication quality with a first quality when the communication quality is equal to or higher than the second quality, the first quality being higher than the second quality;
- change the second control plan to lower the second risk evaluation value when the communication quality is not equal to or not higher than the first quality;
- compare the communication quality with a third quality when the first risk evaluation value is not lower than the second risk evaluation value;
- change the first control plan to lower the first risk evaluation value when the communication quality is not equal to or not higher than the third quality;
- compare the communication quality with a fourth quality when the communication quality is higher than the third quality, the fourth quality being higher than the third quality;
- and
- change the second control plan to lower the second risk evaluation value when the communication quality is not equal to or not higher than the fourth quality.
