Remote Control Display Segmentation for Work Vehicle Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote control apparatuses for unmanned autonomously moving work vehicles lack the ability to automatically display essential information such as engine rotation speed, work distance, and surrounding images, making it difficult to operate the vehicles effectively.
Innovation Solution
A remote control apparatus with a display device that can display multiple screens, including operation buttons and images of the surrounding environment, allowing for easy operation and control of the autonomously moving work vehicle by selectively displaying information at a legible position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a remote control apparatus is used to operate an autonomously moving work vehicle, then the vehicle can be operated remotely, but the display device cannot automatically display required information such as surrounding images and operation parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The display device screen is divided into multiple display areas including a first display area for engine rotation speed, a second display area for work distance, a third display area for surrounding images, and a fourth display area for operation buttons. This segmentation allows simultaneous display of multiple types of information without overwhelming the user, resolving the contradiction between providing comprehensive information and maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the two-dimensional screen space by creating multiple display areas arranged in a grid-like fashion, effectively using the vertical and horizontal dimensions to organize different types of information. This dimensional organization allows all required information to be displayed simultaneously in an accessible manner.
2Loss of information
If multiple types of information are displayed on the remote control apparatus, then comprehensive operation data is provided, but the display layout becomes complex and difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the display into four distinct areas with specific functions (engine speed, work distance, surrounding images, operation buttons), the patent organizes complex information into manageable sections. Each segment has a clear purpose, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
Each display area is assigned a specific quality or function appropriate to its purpose. For example, the third display area showing surrounding images has higher visual prominence, while the fourth area with operation buttons is positioned for easy access. This local optimization of display qualities manages complexity while preserving information completeness.
