Human error is still one of the most frequent causes of catastrophe and ecological disasters. The main reason is that the monitoring systems concern only the state of the processes where as human contribution to the overall performance of the system is left unsupervised. Since the control instruments are automated to a large extent, a human operator becomes a passive observer of the supervised system, which results in weariness and vigilance drop. Thus, he may not notice important changes of indications causing financial or ecological consequences and a threat to human life. It therefore is crucial to assure (covens) that the operators conscious brain is involved in an active system supervising over the whole work time period. It is possible to measure indirectly the level of the operators conscious brain involvement using eye motility analysis.
important physiological activity is the movement of eyes. For a computer to sense the eye movement, wiring between operator and the system is
required. But, this is a serious limitation of the operators mobility and disables his operations in large control rooms
So utilization of wireless technology becomes essential which can be implemented through Bluetooth technology.
Need for Blue Eyes? Is it necessary to make computer function what a human brain does?
Yes, human error is still one of the most frequent causes of catastrophes (calamity) and ecological disasters, because human contribution to the overall performance of the system is left nsupervised. The control instruments within the machine have automated it to large extent, thus Human operator becomes a passive observer of the supervised system, resulting in weariness and vigilance drop, but the user needs to active. But Why? Is it really needed that a human brain be active? He may not notice important changes of indications causing financial or ecological consequences, which is a threat to human life. Thus, its crucial that operators brain is involved in an active system supervising over the whole work time period.
Physiological condition monitoring (pulse rate, blood oxygenation). Operators position detection (standing, lying). Wireless data acquisition using Bluetooth technology. Real-time user-defined alarm triggering. Physiological data, operator's voice and overall view of the control room recording recorded data playback.
STRUCTURE:
Blue Eyes system consists of a mobile measuring device called Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) and a central analytical system called Central System Unit (CSU).
Delivers the alarm messages sent from the Central System Unit (CSU) to the operator. Handles personalized ID cards.
Jazz Multisensor:
Its an eye movement sensor, to provide necessary physiological data in Data Acquisition Unit (DAU). It supplies raw digital data regarding eye position, the level of blood oxygenation acceleration along horizontal and vertical axes and ambient light intensity. Eye movement can be measured using direct infrared oculographic transducers.
TYPES OF USERS:
Users belong to three categories: Operators Supervisors System administrators
Operator
Operator is a person whose physiological parameters are supervised. The operator wears the DAU. The only functions offers to the operator are Authorization to the system and receiving alarm alerts. Authorization: Operator has to enter his personal PIN into DAU, if PIN is accepted, authorization is said to be complete. Receiving Alerts: This function supplies the operator with the most important alerts about his and his co-workers condition and mobile device state
Supervisor:
He is the person responsible for analyzing operators condition and performance. The supervisor receives tools for inspecting present values of the parameters (on-line browsing) as well as browsing the results of the long-term analysis (off-line browsing).
System Administrator:
He is the user that maintains the system. The administrator is delivered tools for adding new operators to the database. Defining alarm conditions. Configuring logging tools. Creating new analyzer modules
APPLICATIONS:
Blue Eyes system can be applied in every working environment requiring permanent operator's attention.
CONCLUSION:
The wireless link between the sensors worn by the operator and the supervising system makes it possible to improve overall reliability, safety and assures proper quality of system performance. These new possibilities can cover areas such as industry, transportation, military command centers or operation theaters. Researchers are attempting to add more capabilities to computers that will allow them to interact like humans, recognize human presents, talk, listen, or even guess their feelings. It avoids potential threats resulting from human errors, such as weariness, oversight, tiredness.
