Shared Field Position Display for Work Vehicle–UAV Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively display the positions of work vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles in a coordinated manner, particularly in agricultural or construction operations, hindering efficient coordination and collision avoidance.
Innovation Solution
A display system that integrates a processing device to obtain and display the positions of work vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles, enabling real-time positional information on a field display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If separate display systems are used for work vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles, then each system can operate independently, but the positional relationship between them cannot be effectively displayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display functions for work vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles into a single integrated display system. The display device shows both the work vehicle position (first icon) and UAV position (second icon) on the same field display, allowing operators to perceive the positional relationship between both entities simultaneously. This merging eliminates information loss while maintaining manageable system complexity through unified display architecture.
2Productivity
If detailed position information is displayed for both work vehicle and unmanned aerial vehicles, then coordination efficiency improves, but the display becomes more complex and harder to interpret
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different visual representations to different entities based on their specific characteristics. The work vehicle is represented by a first icon with specific visual properties, while the unmanned aerial vehicle is represented by a second icon with different visual properties. This local differentiation allows operators to quickly distinguish between entities and their roles without being overwhelmed by uniform detailed information, thereby maintaining ease of operation while improving coordination efficiency.

AI summary
A display system displays, on a display, positions of a work vehicle and one or more unmanned aerial vehicles flying around the work vehicle. The display system includes a processing device configured to obtain position information of the work vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicles, and based on the position information, display the positions of the work vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicles in a field shown on the display.
