Abstract

A working procedure as it is, is guided and taught, and as the use is continued the working procedure is guided and taught in such a manner that the mastery and working speed of the utilizer may be automatically fitted while the level of the worker is controlled so as to be always fitted. The system comprises means in which the working procedure is stored as images and displayed by continuous images; audio data storage means consisting of audio data in which the working procedure of a first level is recorded in association with said series of the workings and audio data of a second level of less audio information recorded in said first level, being constituted by optional levels; audio data selection means which selects the working procedural information to be outputted from among the plural working procedural information pieces based on said working speed; and means in which the selected audio data and the images are outputted being associated.

Claims

1. A system for guiding and teaching a working procedure comprising:

display means in which the working procedure of a series of workings is stored as images of the working procedure, and the procedural images of the working are continuously displayed;

storage means of storing audio data which are associated with said working procedure of the series of workings and in which the guide information of the working procedure of at least a first level is recorded, and audio data of the guide information of the working procedure of a second level in which audio information less than the audio information is recorded in said first level;

detection means for detecting the working speed of a series of workings;

audio data selection means in which based on the working speed detected by said detection means the working procedure information to be outputted from among the plural working procedure information pieces stored in said storage means is selected; and

output means in which the audio data selected by said audio data selection means and the images displayed on said display means are outputted being associated.

2. A system for guiding and teaching a working procedure according to claim 1, wherein the images of said working procedure are analyzed for each motion element, a rating is established relative to the working speed for each said motion element, and in response to said working speed said rating is varied so that the difference between the working speed and the images of the working procedure is made adjustable.

3. A system for guiding and teaching a working procedure according to claim 1, wherein a pair of the audio data and image data are prepared for each level.

4. A system for guiding and teaching a working procedure according to claim 1, wherein the images of the working procedure are discriminated and displayed in part of the display means by the color or light quantity previously set for each level.

5. A system for guiding and teaching a working procedure according to claim 1, wherein by the detection means detected the working speed the level of the current working speed is displayed, a rating can be established relative to the working speed in response to other level, and the image processed by the rating in response to said other level can be referenced to.

6. A system for guiding and teaching a working procedure according to claim 1, wherein the detection result of said working speed or the fluctuation of the level is continuously recorded as computer data.

7. A system for guiding and teaching a working procedure according to claim 1, wherein in case the current level obtained by the detection means detected said working speed dose not reach the working speed of the level higher than said level but it exceeds the threshold previously set, the working procedure of the level higher than the current level is outputted.
