Construction Machine User Login for Restoring Operator Settings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Construction machines at construction sites require frequent setting changes due to multiple users and complex functions, leading to increased operational time and difficulty in maintaining user settings when the machine is turned off.
Innovation Solution
A user login device and method that identifies users as previous, public, or specific users based on smart key recognition within a set time, allowing for the application of previous user settings and operation information when the engine is restarted using the same smart key.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the construction machine is turned off and restarted, then the engine can be re-started after leaving the construction machine, but the user settings and operation information are lost and require reconfiguration
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically retaining user settings and operation information in memory before the construction machine is turned off. When the same user restarts the machine, the settings are automatically restored without requiring manual reconfiguration, thus preventing the loss of time associated with re-setting the machine while maintaining reliability of settings persistence
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a copy of the user's settings and operation information in a retrievable storage format. This copied data is automatically restored when the user returns, eliminating the need to recreate settings manually and reducing the time loss while ensuring reliable maintenance of user preferences
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users share construction machines, then resource utilization is improved, but each user must change settings each time they work on a different machine
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by automatically detecting which user is operating the machine (through smart key recognition or user input) and automatically applying that user's stored settings. This eliminates the manual effort of changing settings for each user while maintaining adaptability for multiple users to share the construction machine
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides self-service by automatically managing user settings without requiring manual intervention. When a user starts the construction machine, the system automatically retrieves and applies the appropriate user's settings, making the sharing of construction machines between multiple users convenient and easy to operate
