Work Machine Display Layout for Clear Multi-Information Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing work machine display systems superpose different images, leading to decreased visibility of important information, particularly when dark images overlap, affecting the operation and efficiency of the work machine.
Innovation Solution
A display system with a remaining-amount display region on the periphery and a switching display region at the center, allowing easy switching between various information types, enhancing visibility by positioning critical information in more visible areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple images are superposed for display, then information density is improved, but visibility of individual information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple distinct display regions (first display region for camera image, second display region for measurement data, third display region for remaining amount information). This spatial segmentation prevents image superposition while maintaining high information density by utilizing the entire screen area efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of overlaying images in the same spatial plane which causes visibility issues, the patent transitions to a multi-region spatial arrangement where different information types are displayed in separate areas. This dimensional reorganization maintains information density while eliminating visual interference between overlaid elements.
2Illumination intensity
If remaining amount information is displayed centrally, then visibility is improved, but switching between information types becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the display screen are assigned different functional qualities: the first display region displays camera images, the second display region displays measurement data with switching capability, and the third display region displays remaining amount information. This local functional differentiation allows each region to optimize for its specific purpose while maintaining overall system versatility.
3Loss of information
If dark images are superposed, then information density is maintained, but readability of individual elements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into separate regions where dark camera images and measurement data with text indicators are displayed side-by-side rather than overlaid. This prevents the text and numerical data from becoming invisible against dark backgrounds while maintaining comprehensive information display across the screen.

AI summary
This display control system includes a display processing unit that causes a display device to display a display screen. The display screen includes a remaining-amount display region and a switching display region. The remaining-amount display region is a region for displaying remaining-amount information, which concerns the remaining amount of an object to be monitored that is consumed with the operation of a work machine. The switching display region is a region for displaying information to be displayed which is switchably selected from among a plurality of pieces of information including at least first piece of information and second piece of information which are related to the work machine. The switching display region is arranged in a central area including the center of a display screen. The remaining-amount display region is arranged in a peripheral area located at the periphery of the central area of the display screen.
