Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information display systems for transport vehicles do not effectively incorporate vibration data, making it difficult to identify portions of the travel path associated with abnormal vibrations and relate them to the vehicle's state and position.

Innovation Solution

An information display system that includes a display device showing a map of the transport vehicle's travel path, a vibration result graph, and a position mark indicating the vibration data at specific time points, allowing users to visually determine the relationship between the path structure and vibration features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If vibration information is not incorporated into the display system, then the system remains simple and easy to operate, but the ability to identify vibration patterns and their correlation with path structure is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration informationVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is divided into multiple display areas: a map display area showing the travel path and vehicle position, and a graph display area showing vibration information. This segmentation allows vibration data to be displayed without overwhelming the entire interface, maintaining usability while providing comprehensive information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Vibration information is displayed in a separate dimensional space (graph area) rather than overlaying the map. The graph area presents vibration data as a time-series or position-series plot, creating an additional visual dimension that complements the spatial map without interfering with it.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If only sequential state information is displayed without position correlation, then the display remains simple, but the viewer cannot identify the relationship between vibration and specific path portions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition correlation informationVSAvoidease of identifying vibration-path relationship
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides feedback by displaying position marks on the vibration graph that correspond to the transport vehicle's position on the map. This creates a feedback loop where the viewer can see the real-time or recorded correlation between vehicle position and vibration state, enabling identification of which path portions cause which vibration patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Position marks serve as an intermediary element connecting the map display and the vibration graph. These marks appear on both the map (indicating vehicle position) and the vibration graph (indicating corresponding vibration data points), acting as a visual mediator that links spatial position with vibration information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If vibration data is displayed without corresponding position marks, then the graph remains simple to generate, but the viewer cannot determine which path portions correspond to specific vibration measurements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition correspondenceVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Position information is extracted from the transport vehicle travel data and used to place position marks on the vibration graph. This extraction separates the position marking function from the overall data processing, allowing the system to display position correspondence without requiring complex reprocessing of the entire vibration dataset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An information display device includes a recording device that records transport vehicle travel data including position information about a transport vehicle and vibration information about the transport vehicle in an associated manner and path map data of a map of a travel path of the transport vehicle. The information display device includes a control device that displays the path map data on a first display area, displays a transport vehicle mark indicating a position of the transport vehicle at a target display time point on the map displayed on the first display area, displays a vibration result graph showing the vibration information at and around the target display time point on a second display area, and displays a position mark indicating a position on the vibration result graph corresponding to the target display time point on the second display area.
