Fuel Delivery Console Quick Jump Navigation Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fuel delivery management systems are complex and lack user-friendly interfaces, making it difficult for users to navigate and control system functions efficiently, especially in scenarios requiring rapid navigation and minimal input.
Innovation Solution
A console with a touch-sensitive display and a navigation system that includes a home screen with a quick jump menu, allowing users to access various system functions through icons, with features like graphic depictions, numeric indicators, and alarm limits, enabling rapid navigation and control of tank, line, sensor, and pump operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a comprehensive fuel delivery management system is implemented to monitor and control all system functions, then system control capability is improved, but device complexity increases making the interface difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface is segmented into multiple functional screens, each dedicated to a specific system function (tank monitoring, pump control, sensor status, etc.). This segmentation allows comprehensive system control capability while maintaining interface simplicity by presenting one function at a time, avoiding the need to display all functions simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from a single-screen interface to a multi-screen navigation system with a home screen serving as a central hub. This dimensional change in interface architecture allows users to access comprehensive system functions through organized navigation rather than overwhelming them with all controls on one screen.
2Measurement precision
If detailed monitoring of all system parameters is provided, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to information overload
Solution Approach 1:
Each functional screen is designed with local quality appropriate to its specific function - tank monitoring screens display液位 information with visual indicators, pump control screens show operational status and control options, sensor screens display detection data. This localized presentation of detailed information on specialized screens maintains measurement precision while avoiding information overload that would result from displaying all parameters simultaneously on a single interface.
