Work Machine Display Layout for Peripheral View During Screen Transition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing work machine display systems do not effectively allow operators to visually recognize the situation around the machine during calibration, leading to potential accidental operation when switching screens, as they do not maintain display of the machine's surroundings after transitioning to function-related information.
Innovation Solution
A work machine display system that includes an image acquisition unit to capture the surroundings and a display control unit to ensure that a peripheral image, such as an overhead image, is always displayed on the screen during screen transitions, preventing accidental operation by maintaining visibility of the machine's environment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display device displays information related to a predetermined function on the entirety of the display device during screen transition, then the information related to the function is clearly presented, but the display data indicating a situation around the work machine is not displayed, which may cause accidental operation
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple regions: a first region for displaying function-related information and a second region for displaying peripheral situation data. This segmentation allows both the clarity of function information and the safety of situation awareness to be maintained simultaneously, as each region serves its specific purpose without interfering with the other.
2Device complexity
If the display device displays only function information during screen transition, then the display is simple and focused, but the operator cannot recognize the situation around the work machine
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the display screen are assigned different qualities and purposes: the first region is optimized for displaying function-related information with appropriate detail and formatting, while the second region is optimized for displaying peripheral situation data. This local differentiation allows each type of information to be presented in the most effective way while maintaining overall system simplicity.

AI summary
A work machine display system includes an image acquisition unit and a display control unit. The image acquisition unit acquires a captured image in which surroundings of a work machine are portrayed. The display control unit generates a display signal in order to display a display image including a peripheral image based on the captured image on a screen of a display unit after transition when the display control unit receives a transition signal for screen transition while the peripheral image is displayed on the display unit.
