Excavator Camera Display Layout for Event Message Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When various events related to a work machine occur, displaying a message window in an area where a camera image is shown can obscure the camera image, leading to incomplete information transmission to the operator.
Innovation Solution
A display system for work machines that generates a message window image in the camera image area and reduces the camera image accordingly, ensuring both images are displayed without obscuring the camera view.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a message window is displayed in the camera image area to convey event information, then information transmission to the operator is improved, but the camera image visibility is obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is segmented into multiple regions: a camera image area and a message window area. The message window is displayed in a region separate from but adjacent to the camera image area, allowing both the camera image and message information to be visible simultaneously without overlapping or obscuring each other.
2Loss of information
If the display area is used to show both camera images and message windows, then information completeness is improved, but the display layout complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into distinct functional areas: a camera image display area and a message window display area. This segmentation allows both types of information to be presented simultaneously in an organized manner, improving information completeness while maintaining a clear and manageable display layout.

AI summary
A display system for a work machine includes: a display unit that displays a camera image obtained by photographing around an excavator; a display unit controller that causes the display unit to display the camera image; and a message window image generation unit that when a predetermined event related to the excavator occurs, generates a message window image indicating a content of the event, the display unit controller, when a predetermined event related to the excavator occurs, causing a message window image indicating a content of the event to be displayed in a camera image area for displaying a camera image, and causing the camera image to be displayed in a reduced manner.
