Publication number: 20150286975Abstract: A process support system may include a processor for providing a sequence of subprocesses of a process, each being assigned an indication about a desired state, an actuator for providing information, which is presented to a user, about the subprocesses that are to be performed in accordance with the indication, a sensor for detecting a state brought about by the user, the state being linked to the subprocess, a comparator for comparing the detected state with the desired state of the respective subprocess. For the case the subprocess was not performed correctly, the processor provides a correction subprocess, and, for the case the subprocess was performed correctly, the processor provides a subprocess which succeeds the subprocess. The processor assigns to the correction subprocess an indication about a desired correction state, and the comparator compares the detected state with the desired correction state of the respective correction subprocess.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2015Publication date: October 8, 2015Inventors: Thomas Berlehner, Sebastian Bernrieder, Thomas Schlegl
