Work Machine Display Indicator for Detection State Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Operators of work machines may miss the actuation state of the detection processor or need to constantly gaze at the display device to avoid missing this state, due to a large amount of information being displayed.
Innovation Solution
A work machine control method that acquires a captured image of the monitoring area and displays it on a screen, with a valid object moving in a virtual circle on the screen indicating the enabled state of the detection processor.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a large amount of information is displayed on the display device, then the operator can access comprehensive data, but the operator may miss the actuation state of the detection processor or needs to constantly gaze at the display device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the detection processor actuation state from the comprehensive information display and presents it as a separate, dedicated visual indicator (icon) on the display screen. This allows the operator to quickly identify the actuation state without needing to search through or constantly monitor the entire display device, thereby reducing the attention requirement while maintaining access to comprehensive information.
2Quantity of substance
If comprehensive information is displayed on the display device, then data completeness is improved, but information visibility and ease of comprehension deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information display into multiple hierarchical levels: comprehensive data is maintained in the background, while key information (detection processor actuation state) is segmented and highlighted as a distinct visual indicator on the display screen. This segmentation allows both complete information availability and easy visibility of critical status without requiring the operator to process all information simultaneously.

AI summary
The work machine control method includes: acquiring a captured image of a monitoring area around a work machine; and displaying a display screen including the captured image on a display device. The work machine control method further includes: in the case where a detection processor for detecting a detection target in a monitoring area is enabled, displaying a valid object, which moves in at least one of a circumferential direction and a radial direction of a virtual circle centered on a reference point set for the captured image, in a superimposed manner on the captured image on the display screen.
