Work Machine Display Menu Control for Visibility and Screen Space
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing work machine display systems face a reduction in the amount of information that can be displayed and lowered visibility due to the size of the selection-item display area, which affects the user's ability to effectively operate the machine.
Innovation Solution
A control method and program for work machines that acquire operation information and display an operation menu on the screen, allowing the display to change based on the operation menu, thereby optimizing the use of the display area and maintaining visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a selection-item display area is added to display various selection items, then the operability is improved, but the display area for other information is reduced and visibility is lowered
Solution Approach 1:
The selection-item display area is designed to be dynamically adjustable in size based on the number of selection items. When there are many selection items, the area expands to accommodate them, and when there are fewer items, the area shrinks to maximize the display of other information. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction by making the display area flexible rather than fixed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of display area size according to the number of selection items. By adjusting the area parameter dynamically based on content requirements, the system optimizes both the display of selection items and the visibility of other information, preventing the trade-off between operability and display area.
2Ease of operation
If a selection-item display area is added to display various selection items, then the ease of operation is improved, but the amount of information that can be displayed is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The selection-item display area dynamically adjusts its size based on the actual number of selection items to be displayed. This dynamic behavior ensures that the area occupied by selection items is minimized when few items are present, thereby maximizing the space available for displaying other information while still providing adequate space when many items need to be shown.
Solution Approach 2:
The system modifies the display area parameter according to the number of selection items. By changing the area parameter adaptively, the system prevents loss of information by ensuring that the selection-item display area only occupies the necessary space, leaving maximum room for other information display.

A control method of work machine has acquiring operation information related to an operation of an operation portion of a display device for a work machine, causing a display screen Dp1 to be displayed on a display portion of the display device, and causing an operation menu M1 to be displayed at a position corresponding to the operation portion in the display screen Dp1 on the basis of the operation information. The control method of work machine further has changing of the display screen Dp1 on the basis of the operation menu M1 according to an operation of the operation portion in a state where the operation menu M1 is displayed.
