UAV Display Control for Status Differentiation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) monitoring systems face difficulties in clearly displaying the operating status of multiple UAVs on a map screen, as UAVs at a base for take-off and landing are often displayed similarly to those in flight, leading to complexity and difficulty in grasping individual statuses.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and display control method that acquire position and status information of UAVs, allowing for distinct display modes on a two-dimensional map screen, with UAVs at the base shown in different modes than those in flight, preventing overlap and enhancing visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If information indicating multiple UAVs is displayed using the same display mode on a map screen, then the display is simple and uniform, but it becomes complicated for the monitor to grasp the operating status of each UAV when multiple UAVs simultaneously exist at the base
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying UAV information differently based on their location and status. UAVs at the base are displayed with first vehicle information in a first display mode, while UAVs in flight are displayed with second vehicle information in a second display mode. This localized differentiation allows the monitor to easily distinguish between UAVs at the base and those in flight, resolving the contradiction between display simplicity and ease of status grasping.
2Adaptability or versatility
If information indicating UAVs at the base and UAVs in flight are displayed in the same display mode, then the display method is unified, but it makes it difficult for the monitor to grasp the operating status of each UAV when multiple UAVs simultaneously exist at the base
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by adapting the display mode to the specific status of each UAV. When a UAV is at the base, it displays first vehicle information in a first display mode; when the UAV is in flight, it displays second vehicle information in a second display mode. This status-based differentiation prevents loss of status distinction while maintaining display adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs color changes as part of the display differentiation. The first display mode for UAVs at the base uses distinct visual characteristics compared to the second display mode for UAVs in flight. These visual changes including color variations enable the monitor to quickly grasp the operating status of each UAV without information loss.

AI summary
An UAV monitoring server causes a base object of an UAV base to be displayed on a two-dimensional map screen, and also causes, based on an operation status of each of a plurality of UAVs, information indicating the UAV in flight standby, take-off operation, or landing operation at the UAV base and information indicating the UAV in flight outside the UAV base to be displayed in a different display mode on the two-dimensional map screen.
