Work Machine Screen Navigation Adapted to Movement State
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing work machine control systems require multiple switch operations to navigate through different display screens, leading to poor operability as the display screen switches in a predetermined order each time a single switching switch is pressed, making it cumbersome for operators to access the desired screen.
Innovation Solution
A work machine control method that displays information related to the work machine on a display device and switches the display screen among multiple screens based on a switching pattern, with the pattern changing according to the movement state of the work machine, utilizing a switching processor to manage this operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the display screen switches in a predetermined order each time a single switching switch is pressed, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the switching pattern adaptive rather than fixed. The control unit dynamically adjusts the screen switching sequence based on the detected work state of the work machine. When the work machine is in different states (e.g., idle, working, traveling), the display switches between different screens in different orders, making the system flexible and context-aware without requiring complex manual navigation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by detecting the work state of the work machine and using this information to control the display screen switching. The control unit continuously monitors the work state and adjusts the switching pattern accordingly, creating a closed-loop system where the display behavior responds to the actual operating conditions, thereby improving ease of operation without significantly increasing device complexity.
2Device complexity
If multiple switch operations are required to access desired screens, then the device complexity is reduced, but the productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple switching patterns that correspond to different work states. When the work machine enters a specific state, the appropriate switching pattern is automatically activated in advance, so the operator is immediately presented with the most relevant screens without needing to navigate through unnecessary ones. This anticipatory approach improves productivity by reducing the time and number of operations needed to access required information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts the switching pattern based on real-time work state detection, optimizing the display sequence to match current operational needs. This dynamic adjustment reduces the number of switch operations required to access relevant screens, thereby improving productivity without requiring a fundamentally more complex control mechanism.
