Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for executing repetitive instructions with working machines, such as trucks or construction equipment, are inefficient and computationally intensive due to the unnecessary performance of distance and orientation calculations for all instructions, regardless of relevance.
Innovation Solution
A method that determines the direction of travel and orientation of the machine, allowing only relevant instructions to be processed, thereby reducing computational effort by skipping unnecessary calculations for irrelevant instructions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If distance and orientation calculations are performed for all instructions, then all instructions are processed, but computational effort and resources are excessively consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and processes only the relevant subset of instructions based on the machine's current position and direction of travel. By filtering instructions through spatial relevance criteria (position within search window and orientation alignment), the system eliminates unnecessary computational processing for irrelevant instructions, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining complete processing of applicable instructions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by evaluating instructions based on their specific spatial relationship to the machine's current state. Instructions are selectively processed according to their position relative to the machine and their orientation alignment, creating a differentiated processing approach where only locally relevant instructions (those within the search window and within angular tolerance) undergo full processing, while others are skipped.
2Productivity
If distance and orientation calculations are performed for all instructions, then all instructions are processed, but execution time is excessively consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and processes only the relevant subset of instructions based on the machine's current position and direction of travel. By filtering instructions through spatial relevance criteria (position within search window and orientation alignment), the system eliminates unnecessary computational processing for irrelevant instructions, thereby reducing execution time while maintaining complete processing of applicable instructions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary filtering of instructions based on spatial position and orientation criteria before executing the full processing sequence. This preliminary action identifies which instructions are relevant and should be processed, allowing the system to skip unnecessary calculations and execute only the necessary processing steps, thereby reducing overall execution time.
3Reliability
If all instructions are processed regardless of relevance, then processing is thorough, but computational intensity increases unnecessarily
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and processes only the relevant subset of instructions based on the machine's current position and direction of travel. By filtering instructions through spatial relevance criteria (position within search window and orientation alignment), the system maintains thorough processing of applicable instructions while eliminating unnecessary computational intensity associated with processing irrelevant instructions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by evaluating instructions based on their specific spatial relationship to the machine's current state. Instructions are selectively processed according to their position relative to the machine and their orientation alignment, creating a differentiated processing approach that maintains thoroughness for relevant instructions while reducing computational intensity for irrelevant ones.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for executing handling instructions with a working machine, wherein the method comprises, inter alia, the following steps: determining whether the respective orientation of the handling instruction corresponds with the direction of travel of the working machine within a first tolerance; for handling instructions with an orientation differing by no more than the first tolerance relative to the direction of travel, determining a respective absolute distance between the working machine and the respective handling instruction based on the position of the working machine and the respective position of the handling instruction; for handling instructions with an absolute distance that is smaller than a first predefinable value, determining a respective relative distance between the working machine and the respective handling instruction in the direction of travel of the working machine and transverse to the direction of travel of the working machine based on the position of the respective handling instruction, the position of the working machine and the direction of travel of the working machine; and for handling instructions with a relative distance that is smaller than a second predefinable value, actuating an external control device for carrying out the respective handling instruction. The invention also relates to a control device and a working machine.
