BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a monitoring interface control method in Example 1 of the present invention;

[0043] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a preset time threshold in a monitoring interface control method in Example 1 of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Example 1:

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a monitoring interface control method, including:

[0047] Obtain engine speed and safety control device signals;

[0048] When the engine speed exceeds the preset speed threshold and the safety control device signal is a valid trigger signal, the automatic return to the main interface program is enabled;

[0049] When the engine speed does not exceed the preset speed threshold and / or the safety control device signal is an invalid trigger signal, the automatic return to the main interface program is disabled.

[0050] The specific steps include:

[0051] Step 1: When the construction machinery is powered on, the electronic monitor displays a main interface including a video monitoring screen.

[0052] Step 2: Obtain engine speed and safety control device signals.

[0053] Step 2.1: Determine whether the engine speed exceeds a preset speed threshold.

[0054] If the engine speed exceeds the preset speed threshold, go to step 2.2.

[0055] If the engine speed does not exceed the preset speed threshold, the judgment is terminated and the process goes to step 3b to disable the automatic return to the main interface program.

[0056] Step 2.2: Determine whether the safety control device signal is a valid trigger signal.

[0057] If the safety control device signal is a valid trigger signal, go to step 3a and enable the automatic return to the main interface program.

[0058] If the signal from the safety control device is an invalid trigger signal, the judgment is terminated and the process goes to step 3b to disable the automatic return to the main interface program.

[0059] In this embodiment, the safety control device is a safety handle or a safety locking switch, and the effective trigger signal is a high-level signal output by the safety control device.

[0060] Step 3a: When the engine speed exceeds the preset speed threshold and the safety control device signal is a valid trigger signal, the automatic return to the main interface program is enabled.

[0061] Automatically return to the main interface program and perform the following operations:

[0062] Step 3a.1: Determine whether the real-time interface state of the electronic monitoring device is in the main interface including the video monitoring screen.

[0063] Step 3a.2a: If the real-time interface status is not in the main interface containing the video monitoring screen, the operation timeout condition and the mechanical operation condition are continuously monitored. When any condition is met, the interface jump instruction is triggered.

[0064] The operation timeout condition is that the user has not performed any operation for a period of time that reaches the preset time threshold.

[0065] Specifically, the user operation is an operation such as parameter setting or information query.

[0066] In this embodiment, the preset time threshold includes a first preset time threshold and a second preset time threshold, and the first preset time threshold is smaller than the second preset time threshold.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, if the first preset time threshold is enabled, when the operation timeout condition is met (the user has not operated for a period of time that reaches the preset time threshold), the interface jump instruction and the power-off storage instruction are triggered.

[0068] In response to triggering the power-off storage instruction, the electronic monitor stores the interface within a first preset time threshold range.

[0069] Specifically, if the first preset time threshold is enabled, power-off storage is performed.

[0070] As a further improvement, the interfaces stored within the first preset time threshold can be called up for viewing.

[0071] As a further improvement, if the construction machinery loses power, after restarting, the electronic monitor displays an interface within the stored first preset time threshold range.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, if the second preset time threshold is enabled, the interface jump instruction is triggered when the operation timeout condition is met.

[0073] Specifically, if the second preset time threshold is enabled, power-off storage is not performed.

[0074] This embodiment can solve the problem of forgetting to switch interfaces by operating the timeout condition.

[0075] The mechanical operating condition is the detection of an operating action signal of an engineering machinery actuator.

[0076] In this embodiment, the operation action signal of the engineering machinery actuator includes a handle control signal and / or a foot control signal.

[0077] This embodiment responds to operational requirements instantly through mechanical operating conditions, thereby avoiding blind spot operation risks when the operator performs mechanical actions and preventing accidents caused by operational omissions.

[0078] Step 3a.3: In response to triggering the interface jump instruction, the electronic monitor displays a main interface including the video monitoring screen.

[0079] This embodiment provides dual safeguards of operation timeout conditions and mechanical operation conditions, thereby reducing the need for manual intervention and lowering the rate of erroneous operations.

[0080] Step 3a.2b: If the real-time interface is already in the main interface containing the video surveillance screen, maintain the current display interface.

[0081] Step 3b: When the engine speed does not exceed the preset speed threshold and / or the safety control device signal is an invalid trigger signal, the automatic return to the main interface program is disabled.

[0082] This embodiment can avoid frequent jumps and interferences in non-operating interfaces.

[0083] This embodiment also provides step 4 of manually closing the video display.

[0084] Step 4.1: In response to obtaining a signal for manually turning off the video display during the period when the automatic return to the main interface program is enabled, and when no jump instruction is triggered, disabling the automatic return to the main interface program.

[0085] Step 4.2: Continuously monitor the operation timeout conditions and mechanical operation conditions. When any of the conditions is met, trigger the interface jump command and enable the automatic return to the main interface program.

[0086] This embodiment supports the special demand of manually closing the video display, and after closing, it is still protected by the logic of automatically returning to the main interface, taking into account both flexibility and security.

[0087] In summary, this embodiment uses the dual criteria of the engine speed threshold and the safety control device signal to ensure that when the construction machinery enters the operating state, a program for automatically returning to the main interface containing the video surveillance screen is enabled, completely eliminating the blind spots caused by interface retention, and meeting the European safety standard's field of view requirements for ensuring continuous visibility of the video surveillance screen during equipment operation.

[0090] The safety control device is used to collect safety control device signals.

[0091] In this embodiment, the safety control device is a safety handle or a safety locking switch, the effective trigger signal is a high-level signal output by the safety control device, and the invalid trigger signal is a low-level signal output by the safety control device.

[0092] The engine ECM is used to collect engine speed.

[0093] The electronic monitor is connected to a camera, which is used to collect video monitoring images and transmit the signals of the collected video monitoring images to the electronic monitor.

[0094] The safety control device and engine ECM are connected to the controller ECU, and the electronic monitor is bidirectionally connected to the controller ECU. The controller ECU determines whether to enable the automatic return to the main interface program based on engine speed and safety control device signals, and outputs interface jump instructions based on the real-time interface status of the electronic monitor.

These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
