System for controlling a physical task
First Claim
1. A method of assessing suitability of any of a number of persons for performing any of a number of task types which each require performance of a plurality of physical tasks utilising a computing system, including the steps of:
- the computing system providing a task-type database having a plurality of task files which each relate to a task type which comprises a number of specific, repeatable physical tasks, and which each have data relating to physical task requirements required of a person performing that task type, and a plurality of frequency requirements which indicate a required frequency of performance for performing at least one physical task required in performance of said task type to which the task file relates;
the computing system providing a personal data file for each of a number of persons, each personal data file including data relating to allowable physical tasks which can be performed with an acceptable degree of safety by the person to whom the personal data file relates and to allowable frequency limits for the person when performing the at least one physical task;
the computing system providing a first interface to allow a user to select a personal data file, which relates to a person whose suitability it is desired to assess;
utilising the computing system to compare a selected personal data file, having a selected person'"'"'s allowable physical tasks and allowable frequency limits data, with at least one task file having data relating to the physical task requirements and the frequency requirements of a corresponding task type; and
from the comparison, generating by the computing system a first number representing a suitable number of work postures and a second number representing an unsuitable number of work postures for each task type for the selected person; and
the computing system further providing a second interface concurrently displaying the first number and the second number for each task type for the selected person.

Abstract
A system for controlling physical activity for a person, including the steps of providing a task database having a plurality of task files which each have data relating to physical task requirements for a person and a plurality of frequency requirements which indicate a frequency for performing a physical task for the particular type of task of the task file, providing a personal data file for a person including data relating to allowable physical tasks and allowable frequency limits for the person when performing the physical task, comparing one personal data file having a selected persons allowable physical task and allowable frequency limits data with a task file having data relating to physical task requirements and frequency requirements of the task type of the task file and from the comparison outputting an indication of whether the selected person is able to safely perform one or more physical tasks in the task file.

21. A computer readable medium including computer program code, which when executed on a computing system, causes the computing system to assess suitability of any of a number of persons for any of a number of task types which each require performance of a plurality of physical tasks, the assessment comprising the steps of:
-
the computing system providing a task-type database having a plurality of task files which each relate to a task type which comprises a number of specific, repeatable physical tasks, and which each have data relating to physical task requirements required of a person performing that task type and a plurality of frequency requirements which indicate a frequency for performing at least one of the physical tasks required in performance of said task type; the computing system providing a personal data file for a selected person including data relating to allowable physical tasks and allowable frequency limits for the selected person when performing each task type; the computing system arranged to operate a comparison operation for comparing a file having a selected person'"'"'s allowable physical tasks and allowable frequency limits data with a task file having data relating to the physical task requirements and the frequency requirements of each task type; the computing system arranged to generate, from the comparison operation, a first number representing a suitable number of work postures and a second number representing an unsuitable number of work postures for each task type for the selected person; and the computing system arranged to provide an interface concurrently displaying the first number and the second number for each task type for the selected person.
