Abstract :
An assistance system has been developed for supporting emergency activities in deserter prevention. Two key functions were regarded specially to design the assistance system, which is a function to provide interactive communication between a general headquarters and on-site operators and a function to provide instructions. The interactive communication between both terminals is carried out in voice, moving images, freeze-frame pictures and text. The assistance system on the side of on-site operators is designed compact and lightweight so that an operator wears it quite handily. Additionally, the assistance system on the side of the general headquarters makes available a function to transform conversation in text automatically. The background of this research, process of operational test of the assistance system for last four years and results are shown in this paper.
