Abstract
The authors identify ergonomic factors related to the composition, structure and typical functions in the process of taking into account the criteria for the protection of inventions when patenting technical solutions in the field of professional selection and training of operators and drivers of military and civil man-machine complexes. The article describes the ergonomic capabilities of selection methods and devices, technical results from the introduction of virtual, hardware-software and computer simulators for training welders, locomotive drivers, radar systems' operators, operator of remotely piloted aircraft, vehicles' mechanics-drivers. For the selection of patents in subclasses of inventions, criteria for expert evaluation of their ergonomics were first proposed based on such criteria as manageability, serviceability and usability.in total, three experts were involved, and the consistency of the solution (the concordance coefficient) during selection was w=0.67. In advanced research related to the construction of automated patent search systems, it is necessary to develop decisive rules for the selection of inventions. The authors of the article plan to develop criteria for the ergonomics of selected inventions for further analysis of promising systems for selecting and training specialists in such IPC categories as G09B9/00, G06F15/20 and A61B5/16.
