Abstract: A remote operation system communicates with work machines and with a remote operation device which remotely operates one work machine as a target among the work machines. An actual machine image-capturing device capturing an image and an actual machine identification information of which is captured to be included in the image, are mounted on the work machine as a candidate of the target among the work machines. The system includes a first assistance process element which connects a cooperating work machine with the remote operation device, the work machine being identified by an identifier corresponding to selection information of the selected work machine, and acquires the image captured by the actual machine image-capturing device of the work machine and a second assistance process element which causes an output interface of the remote operation device to output the image captured by the actual machine image capturing device of the work machine.

Abstract: Provided is a system which can avoid instability of an operating state of a working machine, when switching a remote operation actor of the working machine. In a case where a state of one or both of a working machine 40 or a first operator is a specified state when the working machine 40 is remotely operated through a first remote operation apparatus 10, a first notification corresponding to the specified state is transmitted to a remote operation server 30. In the remote operation server 30, a second remote operation apparatus 20 which is appropriate in view of content of the first notification is selected as the remote operation actor of the working machine 40.

Abstract: A remote operation system for a working machine includes a control device enabling an operator wearing a wearable display to grasp the surrounding situation of himself/herself. The control device includes an operation intention judgment section judging the presence/absence of an operator's operation intention to a remote operation lever based on the contents of acquired judgment information, and a display image switching section. With judgment of presence of the operation intention, the display image switching section makes a working area image taken by a working area image taking camera be displayed in a particular display area of the wearable display. With judgment of absence of the operation intention, the display image switching section stops the display of the working area image in the at least a part of the particular display area and switches it to a surrounding visual-recognition allowing area allowing the operator to visually recognize the surroundings.

Abstract: There is provided a technique capable of appropriately controlling a warm-up completion timing of a work machine in view of scheduled use of the work machine. A warm-up period elapsed until a measurement value of an internal state variable satisfies a designated condition, i.e., warm-up is completed since a warm-up operation of a work machine 40 was started is predicted based on a measurement value of an external state variable with an operation of the work machine 40 stopped. The warm-up operation of the work machine 40 is started at a first designated time t1 as an appropriate timing based on the predicted warm-up period such that the measurement value of the internal state variable of the work machine 40 satisfies the designated condition by a second designated time t2.

Abstract: The possibility of a work machine 40 being affected by a disaster in a second designated area including an existence position of the work machine 40 is predicted based on an amount of rainfall in a first designated area. A hazard map representing a result of the prediction of the possibility of the work machine 40 being affected by a disaster in the second designated area is outputted to a remote output interface 220 in a remote operation apparatus 20 (a client) (or a management output interface 620 in a management client 60). Accordingly, a user can take measures to reduce the possibility of the work machine being affected by a disaster, for example, to communicate with the persons involved in order to move the work machine 40 from a current position.

With judgment of absence of the operation intention, the display image switching section stops the display of the working area image in the at least a part of the particular display area and switches it to a surrounding visual-recognition allowing area allowing the operator to visually recognize the surroundings.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus performs image formation based on a first parameter concerning the image forming apparatus itself. When a parameter extracted from data received from an information processing apparatus corresponds to a second parameter concerning another image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus converts the extracted parameter to the first parameter according to information stored in the image forming apparatus. The information includes the first parameter associated with the second parameter.
