Abstract

An operation state detection device comprises data communication devices and a detection device. The data communication devices are respectively attached to an operator, and a person or an object as an operation target. The data communication devices mutually perform data communication when the operator contacts the person or the object and thereby a path is formed through the operator, and the person or the object. The detection device detects the data communication performed between the data communication devices.

Claims

1. An operation state detection device comprising:

data communication devices that are respectively attached to an operator, and a person or an object as an operation target, the data communication devices mutually performing data communication when the operator contacts the person or the object and thereby a path is formed through the operator, and the person or the object; and

a detection device that detects the data communication performed between the data communication devices.

2. The operation state detection device as set forth in claim 1 further comprising a first warning device that gives a warning when a combination of the operator, and the person or the object corresponding to data communication detected by the detection device does not coincide with a specified combination.

3. The operation state detection device as set forth in claim 1 furthermore comprising a second warning device that gives a warning when the person or the object corresponding to the data communication detected by the detection device includes a confusing person or object.

4. The operation state detection device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a clock device that clocks time,

wherein the detection device detects the data communication performed between the data communication devices together with the time of the data communication.

5. The operation state detection device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a position detection device that detects a position of the operator, the person or the object via wireless communication,

wherein the position detection device detects the data communication performed between the data communication devices together with a position of the data communication.
