US 2026/0301748 A1 · WORK ASSISTANCE METHOD AND WORK ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

Abstract

A worker performing a maintenance operation on a substrate processing apparatus wears a smart glass and emits operation instruction by voice. The smart glass receives the voice, converts the voice into a text by voice recognition, and displays the text. The worker visually confirms the displayed text, and expresses that a confirmation result is accepted by a hand gesture when contents thereof are correct. The smart glass takes an image of the gesture of the worker and analyzes the gesture, and generates and transmits a command of operation instruction to the substrate processing apparatus only when the confirmation result is accepted. Since the smart glass displays the contents converted into the text by voice recognition and the worker confirms the contents, an erroneous operation by a wrong voice recognition can be prevented.
